it takes work and the mere idea of punctuation and adjective phrases and pre-digested images and conceits in general is anathema there’s just so much more to write there's just so much more to right there’s just so much more to wright there’s a good lass there’s a good boy there’s a good time to be had by all there’s a baby in a well there’s a man with a gun over there there’s a season there’s a reason there’s a job to be done and it’s quality and qualified lessees and quantification is job one and there’s something in it for you and there’s always the xmas party and there’s always a chance that you will get promoted get infested get overlooked get ingested get in get indigestion get a pay raise a pay cap get laid up on or often there’s a new product to soften there's a pain free option there’s a buyout clause there's a minimal cost there’s a patch of grass overgrown there’s an old banana peel on the dashboard of my neighbour’s car and I see it everyday and I wonder if she will ever toss it out or if it will become part of the furniture of the dashboard a curled and fragrant baked black organic metallic sculpture that looks like it could win a turner prize if only it was a bit more self aware and cynical about its presence there’s a way of boring the audience that is productive there’s a bag, unattended what do you do there’s a fifty fifty chance there’s a sixty forty chance there’s a forty sixty split there’s no way to pay for this there’s no money in the poetics biz there’s a market analyst there’s a mr anthologist there’s a productive way of boring the audience there’s a poet and a poem and there’s no defensible way to end like this |
