"<s>Both Wembley and Uefa could do with the final going smoothly. The last Uefa event here was the disastrous Euro 2020 final. The last two Champions League finals have been logistical nightmares, with that 2022 game in Paris fortunate to avoid deaths.

Both the Football Association and Uefa have taken all this in. Another outer perimeter is to be built, there are improved gates. The hope is everything goes smoothly.</s>"

hours only hours before
the show
hours only hours
before
the show

                    there has been much planning
and as expected
poor execution
       or at least on the surface this air
of preparedness
and then none

the magic markers haven't been distributed
to ensure the tickets
are more than correct:
that they have been printed
on the right sort of paper
made by marker UV
or something...

             but also with the "case" of an Islamic
encroachment
into Europe
and how the lesser Ummah of the Islamic
world and there is no talk
of Pakistan being a third world
of the Islamic world
the people who propagate all this
scaremongering
and all this book burning
but even among Arabs a camel jockey

so i decided to embrace the changes
if my previous generations of folk
were under-appreciative of
the Judaic involvement
in: let us wander as far north
and pretend to repent
there is no repentance and not much else
but now i see how i can embrace
this shift
and this nudge
and i can finally agree:

among sayings and sayings upon
sayings
why suppose there is anything
wisdom in any of all the attempts
to steer man from path X
when his intentions were set by God
along path Y:
regardless of what man said unto man
man will still not be
dealing with:

a man's word is not worth more
than my willingness to explore
my own
and my own as that being: pitfals
failures and sizzling a sound not much
akin to sheering...

i don't think that "i" think anymore
and that makes perfect sense
for the simple pristine allocation
of words to a structure of a sentence
there can be sometimes the seeing
of a collapse of whatever might
have seen to be formerly impassable

as long as Martin is happy
with those two pools of water in his brain
where once dense
grey matter refrained from:
well to the end of my days
i scratched a vinyl
hatched a chicken
of an idea
since brain problems
are genetic in my lineage
maybe one trip to Amsterdam
to find some shrooms
to later walk into the flats
and sunshine i might:
should my mind be degenerate by then
ingest a hallucinogenic
and no longer feel a need to crave
pushing forward some agenda
it's not like i have a Quran to push
it's not like there's ambition involved

but if the intellectuals of Europe
are gladly not panicky about
the influx of the Muslim faith
not seen since the Ottoman's owned
all of the Balkans and Greece...
well: if we can be accommodated
into a faith that's unlike communism
and given that communism was
a Slavic endeavor and it failed
because of circumstances
that pitted the Germanic peoples of the continent
with their far fetched neighbors
neighbors no more
than the frequenters of the Airport of Dubai
then i do wonder

           what ill could come from teasing
the **** of Islam
when the apocryphal archeological unearthings
concerning Christianity are
not so willingly discussed or simply
dismissed just like
the Holocaust Deniers
and the Atom Bomb Deniers
might be the same denying
like these are not crucial writings and readings
that could allow for a revival away
from Synopsis -
if only people were willing to talk
about Jesus Christ in the tongue of the apocryphal
rather than banging their:

analogy i heard once
long ago...
should a grain of sand enter a horse's head
the horse will start ramming his head
into a brick wall "thinking" that might
get the irritable grain of sand from
his head...
  
   why then O people if you dare so
or wish so to be called
are you so anxious about not reading the
Apocrypha
and instead follow blindly within the confines
of the Synopsis -
which is just that...
a gesture of being aware of a text

O
               O
                              O

which is why i am teasing an embrace
toward Islam
given such a disinterest in the Nag Hammadi
library
imagine what could come if
some apocryphal texts concerning Muhammad
were saved and later burried
before the Mongol sacking of
the Library of Baghdad

             imagine: somewhere buried in now
Iran...
it's as if God is Truly Dead...
not simply: God is Dead
but rather: God is Truly Dead...
since such disinterest or outright hostility
toward the texts of St Thomas
were not given enough traction
and if they have been given traction now
by now i'm no longer interested
i'm looking into proselyte sensibilities
embracing the Islam were drinking alcohol
is permitted
and from the texts of al-Mas'udi that
is very probable
that they drank or rather to refrain from
drinking
is purposed for the narrative of:
from Dune
on camel and on the lackluster discovery
of...
O but the time will come
and all this writing will be ash
when there is no longer oil to burn
and at first it's only in the back of
some minds
before it becomes a reality in the back
of "our" minds
and then some excuse for breeding
geniuses
or is that really what is expected
some cult of the savior
because that's actually spoken of
openly that all can live their lives
until some genius reinvents
the purposes and utilities of... water!

   whether there is an Islamic invasion
of Europe whether Europe was
Christian, threatened by Islam
last time i checked we were pagans
and Christianity was sort of forced upon us
and sure as **** my Darwinistic impulses
steer me away from this religion of
petty sacrifices where genius comes
to die...

                     i feel less threatened having
embraced the path of the TAHWIL...
and not out of spite or intimidation
or fear
but out of a need to keep the mind at rest...
since the Christian apocryphal writings
were of no interest for the people
who ought to have been most interested
a current claim of taking interest
is no real wager to make me change
my mind...
at least Islam
unlike Judaism is somewhat all embracing...

O i'm pretty sure
there will be no embracing gesture of:
welcome to the "club"
therefore if this is a conversion then it is subversive
and not really a conversion
but rather a: mind accommodating
a mind

a wandering mind accommodating a
non wandering mind...

something to settle with: focus on...
Christianity came to Europe
just like Islam comes to Europe
and there's me thinking about relocating
to Hawaii...
so... rift: catch my drift?

             when living with the fringes
of existential expression
because van Gogh's sunflowers might
offend therefore dash canned tomato soup
all over the canvas
what of the artists in Bedlam
using tips of fingers as brushstrokes
and their own feces as paint?!

                        it's seems daft but under what
Dictatorial not...
will a potential President of the United States
like thinking politics or not talking
or writing:
i have no investment
but what makes him no dictator
i didn't say ****** i said a dictator
when the other dictator is a dictator
by a subtle following
i don't even know anymore
that's why when i accustomed myself
to wriggling in the lowercase
whenever a word, usually a name of a place
a time or a person appears
in uppercase
it all feels so crass...
         so: i'm not even going to bother myself
with the cosmopolitan busy bodies
of parties and drool and 'unk of Dr Ribbit...

thankfully no paper was wasted
when writing this
nor reading this
therefore my escape from the editorial hell
of... rejected upon testing readership
interest...
not rejected out of spite
simple economics
but i'm using a medium whereby
i can allow myself the same jovial don't-care
attitude as tabloid newspapers
allow themselves each day...
