CONSPIRACY THEORY
for
& from Peter Dent
It
is my own conspiracy. I am responsibly
indebted
and will leave you questions
and
answers that are correct in theory but
cannot
be apprehended in any real sense.
Speak
soft with a fair hand, be neither lame
nor
doing impressions of anyone we know.
Trouble,
as is all too familiar, simply unhinges
colour
from the mirror of our lives. Each person
is
an avant prince of something and we should
relisten
to their quiet classics, even if they are
a
pillar of salt in my canon. Perhaps plays could
be
performed sans actors, poems without words?
A
dictionary is useful but answers are thin
on
the ground; I prefer kindle or vellum.
Anyway,
let problems subside into good health
but
in the meantime please take note:
no
two things can be done at the same time,
especially
if time zones do not intersect.
I
now move at the pace of the premature,
irresponsibly
wounded and wondering.
