SIGN OFF ON THIS

SIGN OFF ON THIS

A Poem by R J Askew
"

Creativity is a place outside normal life. We can't be in both at the same time.

"

This feeling of ...

What? I say

This feeling of WHAT?

Nonegetherness

This real-i-say-shone

This realisation of being

Not

A what outside

Red chalk, black chalk, clump of bread

Tea-stained sheet of blank intent

He licks his lips, he's ready to win

O this mood!

Sperm gone, dead, passion drawn

Free to...

Be outside...all...that...gone, gone...gone buy good

With you

O youyouyouyouyou

My cre-a...

LOUDER!

Q loud tiv-it-eeee

Off on off on off

East Fife, four, Forfar, five

O watch my hand

Hear in your eyes

Draws a swift

Watch my hands

Hear in your eyes

O watch...my...hands

Draws a swift

Five-hundred and what's another year gone?

Noneotheryessing you

Alone

I am the universe beguiling form-o

Leo, Leo

Strip of black across the top

Wa-tching Swifts

Reversed out white

Buy

Buy

Don't forget the buy line

Because tomorrow I will make my front cover

Won't I, Nib?

And you will sign it

In the hottest ink

For me in my meta-cre~a~tiv~it~eee

~

I don't know that I prescribe to your theory of creativity being only outside "normal" life...in fact, I think "normal life" is an oxymoron. There is no "normal" life...there's just life...and a heck of a lot of creativity took place to put it here and even more to keep it here in my opinion. But I do like the jazzy way this goes everywhichway... so I'll allow the breach of my personal philosophy...lol...you always write some inventive things and I'm always thrilled to see what will come next.

I will ask for my first autographed copy....I'll want it penned in the hottest ink. :)
You write as if you are outside yourself! It's almost sarcastic...you know who you are and what you want to be....but the reality is made clear when you see the tangible world that surround you:

A what outside
Red chalk, black chalk, clump of bread

But your creative spirit is sssscreaming to be free!

Be outside...all...that...gone, gone...gone buy good
With you
O youyouyouyouyou
My cre-a...
LOUDER!

This was a brilliant and creative work of art!
