whereas women might tend to "think" along the lines of being unique... men tend to "think" they belong... of old i heard the argument in a school playground: you're unique, just like everybody else... it's an argument whispered by women that later achieves the gravitas of a shout in third person... women strive to be unique: while men strive for belonging... no man wants to be excluded from the possibility of joining a cohesive body of work... from what i found... men do not function on the focus of language that's exclusive... exclusionary language... we're implicit creatures... what is implied is always deserving... of: whatever...

as a ******... the joke runs long alone the alleys
and the labyrinths of time -
call me a ******* Pole... or Paul...
as a ******: there you go... first word you learned
in Polish... ****'s sake: flag on a pole...
polish - the stuff you use to keep dirt off...
and here comes some ******* Nigerian
bothered about an added G to the giggle:
******... oh... i'll say the word...
as an urban slur... whigger, ******, whigger:
some things these days ought to be bigger...
to freak people out... like insects!
whigger? that's why-ite that i didn't eat:
but ate some letters as surds...
what?! gnome: gnostic, it might have a "gamma"
associated with it, but it ought to apostrophe
"riddled": 'nome, 'nostic...
just like the case of psi...
                 you sure you're seeing purple...
when saying the word: PSYCHOLOGY?
isn't it:  sight-ecology?
          oh my my... this English tongue is a *******
buckets & spades... sandpit... a ******* playground!
let's play bulldog! let's play hide & seek...
sigh: -co- -logy (+)
        the sun is still adamant, therefore i put the washing
on...
  anyway... i must say...
being confused for a German is very welcome...
it feeds my vanity of being associated
with the Vandals, the Goths, the Wends...
i like being confused for a German...
which invites me to move further west from
those ******* Russians...
although...
      yeah... a slim "although"...
        it must be said, though... we inherited the best...
and the worst of the Germans...
******? oh... right... the nickname of King John...
lackland... he? no, not him... Philip Augustus
dissolved the Angevin Empire... that's when England
lost possessions of... lands now best associated
to France...
only two groups of people ever sacked Moscow...
the Mongols... and the Polacks...
we once held Kiev... from the Baltic to the Black
Sea...
        but we inherited the best and the worst
of the Germans... we are in the possession
of the concentration camps... Auschwitz...
Sobibor, Treblinca, Belzec...
but... we also own Malbork... the castle of the Teutonic
Knights of Marienburg...

i need to speak some Deutsche...
sorry:
          ich sehen ein gesicht ohne
     ausdruck!
                                 krieg! krieg ohne ende!
jetzt, immer, heute!

what? i'm going to be called a ****... paparazzi
for inquiring into the deutsche-zung(e)?!
am i?
               fine...         so sein es!

let me just follow up on my NVQ module 4...
later... i'll put the washing on the washing line
while capturing the last blink of the sun...
then... i'll iron my shirt... polish my shoes...
and get ready for a shift as Fulfham FC...
shepherding people.
