I'm sure, like a PP above, someone can claim that there is something profound about the human condition buried within it. Buried, buried, buried, smothered in thousand of unnecessary words about grass. Like the alleged value of Ulysses, buried underneath layers and layers of sloppy allusions and hundreds of pages of self-indulgent wankery.
Your use of the word "wankery" really takes away from your commentary, fyi.
