bonus material! this random playlist pairing: 'ball of confusion' by the temptations, followed by 'sphere of no form' by biosphere.

Ha! very nice, Mr. Killick! although I have a reflex reaction which is a little suspicious of the whole ideaa of a found poem, leaning more in a constructivist direction (if that is a word - I know it's a word, I just mean in the sense of nailing the pieces together yourself, sanding down the edges, etc.). Do you have a defense for the legitimacy of your chosen form on this occasion? perhaps you feel you don't need one... as you are perhaps already aware, Elliot said that poets were poor interpretors of their own work (or words to that effect).
no i don't have much of a defense. they do, however, bring another layer to the enjoyment of the musical artform and how i absorb it. the titles of paintings and music are an interesting study from a text point of view. i always remember our vanished friend eric mould telling me about how he got into writing poetry because he found the process of coming up with titles for his paintings more interesting than painting.
Great poems Andrew, love it!
