I took my pen from a pocket and, for no reason that I could comprehend, blacked out several letters in the headings and, with not a notion of Situationist or cut-up theory, but with an urgent and divine energy, The School Speech became he Scho peech, which, in turn, instinctively, could not become anything but hescho peech. And, thus I wrote my own idiot-ode to the muselis, a shit haiku, if you will, for lovers of alphabet soups.
*
hescho peech
becomes you
wear it like a spell
threaded beach-find
binds you
cones of pineal
hescho peech
burns bergamot
walks a country mile
bewilderment of bon mots
in the northern isles
hescho peech
unordinary
seldom is she seen
a shadow rose
on summer lawns
washing over me
hescho peech
a rhythm
an echo in the hall
letters learnt by repetition
written on the wall
hescho peech
reminds me
to ink, to love,
to speak, to listen
between the sheets
and through these journals
hescho peech
pens postcards
treasure found
unexpected
in the in box
tapping at the x

As opposed to having so many interdictions imposed on us, we should absolutely be encouraged to “play with your words.” Whoever encouraged you to do so deserves a lot of credit. 🙂

I remember being fascinated by the sound of the chalk on the board at primary school as Mrs. Morgan wrote out her sentences, sans crossed t’s and dotted i’s, returning to the beginning and applying them and returning again to render commas and whatnot, ending with a sturdy full-stop!

I remember similar scenarios, Nick, but I think my teachers placed punctuation marks as they went along. I also remember standing in front of the entire class, having to write on that board. Not always a pleasant experience.
