Poetry is the dark matter of literature, of everything. When others edit, market, create cover graphics
or even celebrate verse for the poet, I think, they do a disservice to poetry. Amazon should not sell it, the school teacher
or priest should not quote it, and the old bum sitting on the pedestrian bridge
with an empty upturned “Thailand”
ball cap that his wife keeps trying to throw out, should not be allowed to beg
for versification compensation. It’s 80%
of the universe and we cannot describe it.
Let it gush and roil unfettered and be a fine madness. “You got a million to tide me over for life,
Bub? Thanks, kindly anyway”
Poetry from Thailand
Original poetry written in and about rural Thailand.
