Choice lines:
Dulled by autumnal melancholy, I pause:
Inertia creeps over me, like fog. The sky is
Leaden, the drizzle-haze the sand-man's clasp.
The quiet blanket of the air, still, damp,
And lit by lamps, echoes to distant traffic.
The rank fishy waft floating
Down the long straight of King Street,
Shops selling hallal-meat and spices, or
Broken-down bric-a-brac, yellow-paged novels,
Slightly-chipped china, outdated computergames
Archived away, in honeycomb hives
Of catacomb corridors, as statutes,
Judicial and official enmesh me,
I am an academic.
Myriad daydreams and galaxies of emotion,
Vocabularies of affection and alphabets of feeling
Swirl in my head, word-torrents on a
Waterfall of conflicting desires and dreams.
In other words: verbose shite.
