writing poetry is a shift from one state to another, from the mundane to the otherworldly, using the kit one inherited from being brought up from where one is of course, and to take on a role, to become someone else, as if being in Joy Division; ironic, deadpan, defeatist, droll.   but still to communicate with some imagined love, and maybe to re-live, with an earnest desire, to captivate and be a pop star, which, to me, the phrase, radio hairdo, lends itself to be: an ode to those pop moments, where life is breathless, bizarre and boring.
