There is nowhere quieter
than to be wading through
the words of a poem even

Behan wrote his best works
at the bar of Broggy’s where
he famously confessed, I’m a

Ps
I am a alcoholic, dry 25 years.
Behan was correct, there can
be no creativity without drink.
My Guinness is now only 00%
Oscar Wilde said that he had
nothing to declare but genius.
