Yes, dumbo does know about these tricks, but basically I couldn't be arsed,
perfection is tedious, like heaven: 'singing of morals in Latin and Greek'
as a Douglas Dunn poem has it, not that I wouldn't mind that, but not 24
hours a day, too much man!
Anyhow the reason why I posted poor victoria's little poem, democratically,
was to point out that artistic ability is not the only criterion, vixen's
poem is certainly not good, technically, linguistically, but she means it,
so it matters, it's genuine, as far as anything in the house of lies that we
call poetry can be.
i show it at times to some real hard guys, and it moves them, it's rather
like the police policy (? you say) - nowadays the cops try to send out on
patrol at late night in the cities teams of two that are a bloke and a
(preferably under thirty and pretty) policewoman, the reason being that all
the pissed up machos will normally turn into nice little good boys if a bird
in uniform comes to tell them it's time to go home.
where it falls apart is if a woman and a bloke are there in the group having
a row - then all hell appears.
So there we are.
