Defense of “24 hours in the life of a sic kunt”

 


Defense of “24 hours in the life of a sic kunt”


I feel a lot more comfortable with my Yin poems than with my Yang ones.

But this is a Yang one.


I wrote a book called 24 hours in the life of a sik cunt. I don’t feel like promoting it. Particularly with Trump pretending to be one, rather than just the profoundly limited thug he is. 


The point of the book is to allow space for the mad ‘open’ adventurer

& for the protagonist to realise the phony nature of his self concept (sic kunt). 


Nevertheless, I’m nervous about its reception. I guess I wanted to create a wildman of the Left, which has been Wiggles-fied. 


It is a particularly disturbing age to live in when a politician upsets the status quo more than any artist or artistic movement.


I want to present a conscious hero-anti hero.

In a very unorthodox way

  In a very unorthodox way # (For Max Sometimes) In a very unorthodox way, I’m an Irish Catholic. Of course, in terms of Belfast politics that MEANS something. & while that maybe true – in Australia, for different reasons, as Fr Bob Maguire put it – when Mary first saw Jesus walking out of the tomb on day 3 of his death, she exclaimed “JESUS!!!” – the first time his name was used as a swear word. In that way of an irreverent joke, REVERENTIAL & ORTHODOX are not my way to the Sacred/Love*. For me – I’m not really into Theology – as Max Sometimes quoting me, quoting my mate Richard, quoting Bob Marley, quoting Rasta elders, said today “who feels it knows it.” & I believe that if I am to write my Mass/Symphony of Hope/Love, I must include at least one blasphemous hymn, else the vision depicted be simplistic, like George Handel’s Messiah. The Hope/Love represented or perhaps alluded to (if you prefer) must include genuine despair, dejection, transgression else it...

Love

  Love   Some people exude a loving energy Like Mary & you feel transformed From your woes & spleen & love is woken in you   They made no mistake when they named her Light floods you when you’re with her & though she struggles to find words Now she’s 91 years old She loves all the more Like the unknowable name of God   Like that Indian girl People would visit To receive wisdom & healing Just by her presence She locates the good in me & I feel so much better About being alive   She reminds me That I can play that role for others That I can let go of the grief, the hurt & let go of the rage   She reminds me of my mission To bring truth & light Through the darkness & show the path to follow For other lost people    & that the love she exudes Is as much a reflection of my love That I had forgotten I possessed     Published ...
