DetailsThe poem, its numbers, and the conversation.

Same old rancour (a yellow stream of consciousness)

Headshots, back slaps, one-track crit hacks tricked out and willing, winning, spinning-- let the games begin! (again?) Pratfallen, upset the poesies genuflecting hectoring, dragging your baggage beside, rag mannered, such a wag. Rattled prattling about oh!so!many!things! jerking and gibbering all over the page (the light, the dying, the drama, rage, rage) Another three-card monty-- atavistic vagrants piddling on the pavement.

I like pratfallen. To fall on one's buttocks. Very apt.

Hey there ecargo, I wasn't going to sign back to poemeranker but I saw you about and thought I'd say the hellos. Long time no speak, how's the kayaking?

Hiyas Ranger! How's it going? Still in lovely Wales? I'm going to be there in April (hoping to get some paddling in Pembrokeshire if time allows; crazy water there)--also hoping to talk Z into Eisteddfodd (however the hell it's spelled) later in the year. Who knows--we may have to track you down. ;-D

Kayaking's great--love the off-season. Gotta run, but hope you'll stick around a bit--I'm just back myself; we'll see what happens.

Hope you're doing well! How's uni?

I'm back in England until the end of the week (working again over the Christmas break) but I should be in Cardiff in April. Lots of friends to visit as well, so I expect to be much more well-travelled by July. Uni's going really well and I finally have some direction career-wise (hurrah!). It just requires the year to finish as it started and for the teachers' union to not bring about armageddon. Let me know when you're about again, we'll chat then :-)
