blair



maybe a screen or something to show the words, he's going too fast but i think it helps to see it written anyway !


his poems have an unusually strong conceptual bent, outstanding really given the usual drivel of american poetry

they


haven't !
















sleep


with


strontium


is


like


a


honey


balm


for


me


:

)
















the


pot


mightn't


call


the


kettle


black


but


it


thinks


it


: o )
















you


think


what


i


write


means


something


but


it


doesn't


mean


anything


and


that


not meaning


anything


is


more


than


meaning


something!
















in the end what's sad and what's not?


who



knows
















there's


only


one


thing


worse


than


having


an


offer


to

help


rejected


thats


having


it


accepted !
















i


was


tired


and


in bed


it


was


like


a


door


was


open


and


a

lot


of


stuff


came


out


it


sealed


shut


again !
















the


whole


problem


of


life


is


what


you


volunteer


your


time


for !


poetry


homilies


work


children


one



is



as



meaningful



as



the


other !
















the


healthier


and


younger


a

woman


is


the


more


likely


she


is


to


give


birth


to


a


boy !
















there


is


no


tomorrow


or


the


day


after !
















i


may


not


think


i'm


going


to


die


but


it


wouldn't


hurt


to


operate


under


that


asumption


everyone


else


has


or


will !


anti


suicidal !
















things


look


very


different


as


you


get


older


why


is

that ?


experience


or


disillusionment ?


both ?


neither ?



the


brutal


fact


of


dying ?
















the


world


is


full


of


nuts !


i'm


not


saying


i'm

not


a


nut


however  . . _ .
















where it is not


then


it


has


to


be


somewhere


else !
















you


think


you


do

something


then


something


else


appears !
















i


get


a


pretty


intense


interest


in


something


write


it


down


and


then


forget !
















there's


no


beginning


and


end


it's


all


endless !
















it's


like


a


mental


block


i


can


visualize


others


dying


but


i


can't


visualize


myself


dying


maybe


that's


because


i


cease


to


be


myself


when


i


start


to


die ?
















eileen :

anyway men are more than happy to give their all in persuit of a new sexual conquest and only stop when the novelty has worn off it revives with each new it's only women that want to put work into keeping that interest alive long term

a sad but true differance in the sexes

child bearing and rearing design i suppose

how stupid and depressing that is.


andrew : maybe women should only give birth to girls?.


eileen : oh very funny


maybe men should all be homos.


andrew : neither of those worlds could exist.


eileen : obviously.


andrew : so you are forced back to existance having some incompatabilites to exist.
















women


are


stronger


have


more


complete


emotions


though

intellectually


they


are


more


fractionated !
















everything


is


gobbled

up


by


infinity
!
















vision


is

it's


important


in


life


to


be


able


to


work


somethings


out


without


having


to


learn


the


hard way !
















      (on suggesting options for a woman with breast cancer)


my feeling is really once they have done chemo it's too late cause their brains get so damaged by the chemo they are not up to doing anything new !


the


way


chemo


works


is


metabolic


death !
















women


have

a


greed


that


men

can't


compete


with


they


want


the


entire


person !
















one


is


irretrievably


utterly


different !
















life


is


one


endless


struggle


against


360º


we


just


about


always


lose !


it


can't


be


otherwise !
















the


younger


generation


doesn't

give

a


shit


about


the

older


after


all


they


are


the


ones


who



will


live !
















dieticians


arrogant


and


ignorant !
















are


you


enlightened ?


yes


what


is


being


enlightened ?


when


you


see


infinity


you


know


it
















we


already


exist


on


a


backdrop


of


everything


: o )
















one


thing


the


net's


bringing


back


satire


gets


around


the


legal


aspects


by


sheer


volume


and


anonymity !
















getting


older


changes


your


perspective


one


withdraws


i guess !
















i


don't


think


i'm


going


to


die


i


believe


i


am


going


to


die


i

i


believe


i'm


going


to

moment


now


it's

like

a


fake

dummy


stopped


short


if


you


think


that's


what


it's


about


you


have


stopped


short


or


most


likely


never

parenting


keeps


you


blind !
















again


and


again


i


learn


don't


solve


more


of


the


problem

than


necessary
!
















one


thing


i


have


learnt


is


you


just


fiddle


things


things


that


you


don't


think


can


work


can


work
















atheists


appropriating


evolution


as


their


own !


charles


darwin

and


wallace


were


at


least


ambiguous !
















it's


depressing


a


million


morons


to


read


this


in


later


years


nary


a


soul


while


i


am


alive !
















parenting


itself


is

a


very


strange


process !
















the


way


i


look


at


adoption


is


not


from


the


perspective


of


adoption


but


that


biological


children


are


as


irrevocably


cuckoos


as


much


as


anything


else


however


children


are


irrevocably


their


parents !
















we


are


all


into

non-


stigmatizing


mental


illness


well


“ normal


is


mental


illness ”


how


do


you


expect


me


not


to


stigmatize


that !
















the


only


entitlement


a


religious


qualification


gives


you


is


a


place


in


a


looney


hospital !
















zen


transmission


a


meaningless


qualification


except


perhaps


it


means


you


are


an


idiot
!
















some


people


who


get


a


rebuff


take


it

i'm


one


of


those !
















the


mindset


for


breeding


is


not


the


mindset

complete


nuts


to


be

running
