perhaps the europens conducted
anthropological studies on the Amazonian
tribes, niche pockets of
a quirky corporation ethics -
perhaps...
              but when one european looks
at another european,
and conducts his own anthropological
study?
   who says i'm not conducting an
anthropological study of the English -
who are more deluded
   as islanders than the ******* Icelandic
people, with regard to shared
roots...
   traveled the world a bit too much...
brought back the elgin marbles
and several minor mummies...
   but then... the Pakistani **** gangs...
whoop whoop! choo choo! train a' coming.
what? reality is not some brick
wall you get to impose with
   what 19th century romanticism movement
was... a bout of nostalgia...
    to me?
   the english are...
    collectively solipsistic - esp. in the south,
i'm sure it's different in the north...
but the southern english?
   a strange breed of ego-bloating -
megalomania,
                    collective solipsism,
a shogun complex...
                           solipsism?
just a fancy word for autism...
               i've seen flies congregating
on a **** appearing more sociable than
these people...
                an englishman's home
is his castle...
   yet when i own a castle...
            they think i live in their castle's
dungeon, rather than my own home....
weird people... truly odd...
           i'm pretty sure the english didn't
expect a covert anthropological study
to be taking place,
     from behind a velvety almost see-through
curtain...
    it's not like they have much
to feel proud about...
        perhaps the minor instances
         of selected sports at the olympics...
and all of this based on one example,
but of course, outside the proximity,
there's the multiplication factor,
i.e. it's most likely replicable elsewhere...
perhaps not football...
   but anthropology is certainly coming home.
