I tip my hat, die twice and still, 'pariah',
they say. "He is the last defence of the old order
and close to the wall for symbolic dying.
The media will hate him forever."
I've been here now for fifteen years. They came often
at first but it's been five years since the last.. It's not safe to have friends
beyond those dry, serious and almost always skinny types
who write for the department of Sociology, or Cultural Studies
and they can hardly be called friends. It is sad that the truth
has to be written in such baffling codes as this and that helping out a friend
can put an end to inclusion - not to mention the job. I go to the pub twice a week.
Other than that, it's the internet - where I'm not me.
I sell walking sticks on an American craft site to ex pats and anyone with a bit of a gimp. The complete stranger and the man in the street are my friends. Everyone else knows to keep a distance.
I go no further than the forms.....
