Poet Introduction
Hello: i'm a p'ooh-et - i write p'ooh-ems.
Dante and Virgil and me and some Horace
i must be in one of those... "moods"...
i must be in such circumstances follow an almost
ritual: the beauty of life...
coupled with the "fairness" of it...
notably when sharing it with people:
of a more... "south of the border"...
a more sour invitation to it...
my "free will": my... what little is it...
when someone else might: rest assured...
express his or her... "alternative"...
this a choice...
the wine has ran! down into the gob that
sometimes forgets to thirst...

perfecting a cough medicine
it's not that i really have a cough...
my attempt at staging clever...
hannibal lecter and clarice...
backwards and forward...
anagrams...
but no... no alliterations:
fire feeds frivolity and freedom...
there's certainly an F in 'ere...
a spot of 'other: there's a greek in it:
which morphed into: verily vandal prone...
like no: over till it's over:
in the case of: other...
a decent splash of bombai gin...
and a dash of phillips' o' bristol
grenadine cordial...

the landline isn't working: the vinyl factory is burning
let's be fickle in a democracy -
let's be democratically fickle -
pheasant one evening:
a wholesome broth of bother the next...
this is not a political poem:
you'll soon see...
it's not in a democracy
there's a status quo "tyranny"...
the same hands shake: when changing
gloves...
but this is not a political poem...
it's... a fickle poem...
20 minutes into "surfing" the internet...
looking for the jukebox that once was
that once was youtube...
and not that keen on...

internet ketchup: the old wailing wall of graffiti
call it culture... call it: kul-toor... something "cool"...
i've just drank a bottle of wine and
i'm far from... feeling an armchair moment
of enjoying: whatever it is i'm supposed to enjoy...
millenial woes...
h3h3... the whole list... it's really your standard
packet of pork chops...
i would be much prouder if i were...
adamantly watching an english soap-opera...
at least that sort of "consumering" makes
it to a pub quiz status... the trivia the knowledge:
the machine gun and blank stares:
who's who?

twin-labial pucker up to a bottle of wine
drinking a kalimotxo gives me the blushes...
and if i could... substitute... my dosage of "terrible liar"
vodka... or ms. amber... and i would... gladly...
give my mind and body up to the wine and coca-,
but who's up for...
recycling wine bottles...
and standing in queues... we're talking...
8 x 2 =... 16 units...
your typical bottle of wine
is 9 units... circa...
roughly 2 bottles of wine... per evening sitting...
- clearly someone was busy...

í hiechyd ac tragwyddoldeb! (the blitzkriegouvertüre)
my neighbour is having a solitary moment
with a wee bonfire in the backyard...
don't ask me... i watched his father trim the grass
a few hours ago...
maybe he's burning that...
or... whatever the reason... it's in the corner
of my eye... and the flame is big...
and small enough... that.. if warranted...
would make a great... theatre of soliloquy...
i'm yet to see a shadow enlarged
and gesticulating that it's talking...
with a raised arm... the other arm playing
the gratified ballerina when the applause comes...
hand entombing...

i couldn't be... more... possibly: well... not possibly more...
aloof...
yes... that's a crumpet of a word...
a scone...
something levereging me to circumstance
myself with: delight: in that it is delightful - it's brimming
with delight...
it's what i want to eat: and by eat: what i can feel...
my... what can i counter eating and feeling with?
perhaps this... taking to thinking is a bit like taking a shit...
perhaps... just perhaps:
i am merely constipated... or rather...
claustrophobic...

i do expect you to become lost in this labyrinth - at least that's what i'd rather say - sleep-deprivation is for "some" reason to escape the mediocre of having catched the "8 hour wink"... or whatever the Minotaur wouldn't call it... because i wouldn't call it a "problem" of "gender-neutral pronouns" either... i would call it a "problem" of noun-acquisition-status of letters; notably in greek and hebrew.

i need to use two alphabets that...

evolution of the ampersand (&)
something akin to... a reminiscence of the opening scene of vanilla sky... i can't imagine the amount of effort and co-ordination it took... back then... to completely empty time sq. well... now i sort-of can...
pettitoes... when dickens isn't being a samvel veller...
tatties: neeps 'n' 'aggis...
pettitoes: petite toes...
bicameral mind - manhattan -
a man in a hat... (julian jaynes)
yes.... but a little detail: not invoked:
a man with a tan wearing a hat...
otherwise... it would be most respectable to call:
ginger:...

in the reflexive: the reflection is stashed encompasses yesterday
i should do this more often: pop me head-fly
into the spider's web of "free flowing information"...
just hearing the nationalists
is enough to pickle me...
europe is... england... france...
germany... italy...
there's hardly anything concerning
spain... if...
and geographically speaking:
the rest has drowned in the iron sea
east and south of the vistula river...
wound-up monkey-and-drum toy...
can you be considered a native speaker...
