Yesterday it was night all day.

I wandered the streets naked, sweating,

throwing rocks at the moon.

I recognized a stranger who was myself.

I had nothing to say to him.

Indifference is easier in the dark.

Anyway, I'm just an anonymous passerby.

Nothing, not even the trees,

has cause to fear me.
A short excerpt from my long poem: The Only Poem at

theonlypoem.blogspot.com.

A warning. It is endless, graphic, ******, humorous, pornographic, complicated and confusing. Takes its inspiration from Finnegan's Wake and Pound's Cantos. Try it. You will love it or hate it. Not a work for just liking and in no way complete.
