I want to write a book about ANGER

I want to write a book about ANGER

A Poem by Thurston
"

Where I shout certain words for effect.

"

I want to write a book about ANGER,

about how anger CAUSES things.

I want to do this. I’ll show it SUBTLY

and in various stages.

I’ll do it something like Bronte did LOVE.

I’ll show anger in DEGREES.

I’ll build it past recompense

demonstrating how a moment’s ANGER

can warp a whole LIFE,

and give a man a fork through his lip

or an empty eye socket

or maim him all in a minute

to be endured forever. The book

will be MATURE and for adults.

It should be a masterpiece of informed

intelligent writing.

Want to write a book about anger? Bring it on. If this little menacing poem doesn't whet your appetite nothing will. Let's hope the book is easily edited into a screen play. In fact Thurston enter stage left! Audience increases 500% Drama returns to TV. Dire celeb TV dies an awful death. Everyone is happy. This write has sufficient experience in life to 'knock their socks off'. Sooner the better. BBC get ready!
