Wooden Footbridge

Almost half way
to Avalon
was a footbridge.

Out of the forest
the end of the road.

Now I hate
what has become of it.
Look, and smell
what gravity and time
have done.

It was not a lot
a Wooden footbridge
Our children
once used it
to avoid the traffic.

Let me continue
down Avalon.
There in the marketplace
is the Edgewood Inn.

Mister Patel
in his office with a smile.
Roofers and good time girls
roustabout for a while.

Cross yourself
according to
Preacher Goolsbee's
prayers.

McMurray's barber shop
comic strips and tobacco
on my way home
from dance school

Especially for children
Go and interact
Edgewood School
Next to the transport.

December 8, 1974
Boy called Bob
Pencil hanging
He died at this level.

I was there there last week.
Look at that
wooden bridge
It was selected.

Get rid of the weed
And the gap between the water.
Keep it in the dark.
never
Now let's move on.

Sorry Dockery, you're a born loser, not an ounce of creativity in your fat ass.

Live with it.

(You ever wonder why the cops and your wife's parents knew where she was but didn't tell you, the husband?)

To take but one example:

"Out of the forest
the end of the road."

You have strung two thought fragments together, but have made neither a sentence, nor an intelligible statement.

Do you understand why neither the whole, nor its individual lines, would qualify as a sentence?

As always, your "poetry" comes across as the incoherent thought fragments of an elderly, senile drug user. You ramble on in half-formed thoughts (and half-formed sentences) about God knows what. You throw in specific dates that, place names, and mentions of high school friends that have no significance to your readers. Edgewood School may mean something to you, but it doesn't to anyone else -- and any memories it may conjure up for you fail to translate to the rest of us.

Do you realize in your drug-addled, creative frenzy, that one of your sentences comprises a single word -- without capitalization or end punctuation?

Stick to writing troll post with "borrowed" two- and three-word rejoinders. At least that way you've got a shot at being understood.

There is neither a subject nor a verb, Donkey. You've merely strung to thought fragments describing possibly related scenery.

Are you trying to say that the end of the road came out of the forest? That makes no sense. The *end* of a road doesn't come out of anything.

Language is a form of communication. When you're incapable of using words correctly, you cannot communicate your ideas.

Words matter.

"Thank you for the hickey on my dickie, General Sticky
I don't mean to be picky, but you're smelling kind of icky.
Roll me over, Chickie Baby, and you'll earn yourself a quickie,
And thank you for the hickey on my dickie, General Sticky."
-- Will Donkey, from The Shitholeville Mythos
