Great poem and example of making the reader read between the lines without any disconnect between the three stanzas of this Sunku...a good lesson for me....

Without the title it would be difficult to discern the meaning of this poem. Good thing you put what the Japanese symbol means. This one also displays the flexibility of syllable count allowable in this poem...............stan

Think about not precise meaning of words but associated memories and feelings then you will guess what is it about

With the title's definition I'd already figured it out

Yep that is me,
Often too late
Seldom in time
A Quine of repeats,
A killer of rhymes.

I've just been re-reading "Sophie's World", I think I told you, and this reminds me of the vast gulf between the cultural/social/ spiritual mileux of our ancient values based in polytheism and classical Greek rationalism, which led to the Scientific method and that vile, goat-fucking Ibrahamic tradition (Chritianity, Islam and judaism) that all but replaced it.

We move upstream, against the current, never crossing the same river twice and those mad Arabs told us there was one god and he fucked up our creation so drowned us all once then sent his son to die for our sins (yes, the bastard believes in human sacrifice).

Perhaps I'm reading too much into this but

'please not again'

cheers,
Jess
