the day you hate yourself
I might love you
you were one of the best female poets and I told the publishers, editors, “ Her, print her, she’s mad but she’s magic, there’s no lie in her fire.” I loved you like a man loves a woman he never touches, only writes to, keeps little photographs of. I would have loved you more if I had sat in a small room rolling a cigarette and listened to you piss in the bathroom, but that didn’t happen. - Charles Bukowski, from An Almost Made Up Poem

When I was younger, used to listen to the Radio some ten years ago, erstwhile to a world that will one day develop into a Web 2.0 culture,

City of Darkness - Life In Kowloon City (Girard & Lambot, 1999)
you only need to produce a book like this about a place like that to attach a memory in the brain's heart of a person like me

And Rubbish for Stanza
Why is it when you speak I neglectthe content of your oration
Instead
I fixate on the quality of your voice that wraps
itself in my head
I explore your accent, counting the syllabus riding on the wave of your tongue
dissecting your words into letters
until it spells my name
Why do I yearn to see your feet
Ten digits hiding in the architecture of your shoes
comforted by black cotton
How can I ask to see you unclothed
I can only ask for you to wear sandals instead
Why do I write this knowing you are the king of prosody and this has no meter
and rubbish
for stanza
