samuel-butcher
English
I am a Political Scientist by training / (and sausages seen, seen, seen), / Writer by passion and profession / (hastily a wall down an alley lonely; / in the scent trailing of dervish lovers / scrawling morse in adverbial silence / being the rat-a-tat of the coming night), / a Fixer of Problems for money, when / money means an easier time of matter, / and an impish scalawag by disposition; / (or disposed to dispose of that which is not; / being the artifice added after birth, / the mask, the paint, the lies). / / I am a member of a generation so shit-scared of seeming passionate about anything that sarcasm has become currency, disenchantment has become rote, and we look more often at the snide than the stars.
