why is all spoken word poetry neither
rap or music as such,
always the exasperated tone of voice...
always with the rhyme...
   always the rhyme...
            who rhymes these days?
****... only 50cl of whiskey in me...
not feeling this...
    i need to start on the liter of
shveedish ***** to bulge up my "ego"...
**** me...
      is this even "poetry"?
   i thought not...
        it was never going to be
poetry - it would never succumb to
that dreaded metric of rhyme...
    i never understood
          the pseudo-acting of stand-up
spoken word with the bulging
emotions as if brimming on the tearful -
but i also can't imagine myself
diverging into
      prose - the sort that is
safe & tested -
             writing done by volume over
however pointless
intricacies -
             juxtapositions, might be
a better word...
                       eh... stand-up comedy...
i have forced, entangled
giggles, esp. the kind scripted -
  well...
with the exception of Eddy Gervais
or Lee Evans...
      perhaps i'm too stupid at having enjoyed
myself with the body mania
of Evans...
     but that's just how the Anglophone
culture works -
        go elsewhere: more cabaret
and less solo comedians...
  less monologue - less "solipsism" and more
an act...
                    cabaret...
                then again...
we do live in times when the spewing
of opinions isn't allowed
    a dialectical attack...
       not really...
              maybe on the sly...
  but never really really encompassing
   a moment of pondering - a brief pause -
given? you pause you're:
exposing a weakness -
             ? is no longer the probe
to come to a central ground -
   somehow converge and exchange
opinions...
                  being pulverized by
opinions is starting to bug me...
          pulverized by justifiable yet
somehow unjustifiable
         opinions that allow neither
a counter-thought, or a "conversion"
to a proposed, new, opinion...
      which makes dialectics impossible
between two arguing parties
without a ******* mediator -
a stage: so much less interesting
and reinvigorating that talking
to an old man on a park bench about
Rayleigh bicycles and his worries
about his grandson still being mute
aged 3...
                   or was it 4?
          never mind...
   oddly enough the Quran has one
curiosity in it...
           you know how the Jews refrain
from speaking the actual
name of their Hebraic god?
they always refer to ha shem:
but never utter the four geometric
(in Latin) letters with their
hidden A(dam) and E(ve) vowels?
yeah... it's like this literary
superstition...
   Voldermort ****...
          i'm surprised that there is
a Hebraic influence in the Quran...
where?
   oh... you know...
   there's talk of: the book...
  it's never by name,
  it's not the Torah, it's not the Bible...
what's that third one?
       ****... can't remember...
anyway... the Quran treats these book
names as a Hebrai might
treat tetragrammaton with the same reverence
as denoting it: ha shem (i.e. the name)...
oh look here...
   i love how the Hebrews hide their
vowels in diacritic -
    which is the elevated form of orthography
working from diacritical signs
applied to post-Roman Latin
alphabet...
     genius, absolutely genius...
  no wonder the high literacy rate...
that macron beneath He is an A...
           .   .
             .    would be an E (tzere -
then again, technically that's not a macron
but a kametz - a mini tau, T) -

conflicting sources through...
          ha-sefer: which means: the book...
hmm...
       on peh - from my sources
Aryeh Kaplan is folding something back...
    i'll never know -
but like all Hebrews -
  when it comes to language:
very secretive...

        it's still bewildering why
the homosexual Adams exist in both
diacritical form,
       as kametz,
  and in the fully formed lettering
    aleph & ayin...

   but as far as i am concerned,
the Quran refers to Hebrew and Christian
texts as a Hebrew refers
to the tetragrammaton -

   ha-shem: the book:
