Andrew’s a bit of poet. He’s not like one of those dramatic, scarf-wearing, standing-in-the-rain type poets. He just likes to play with rhythm and word density. He writes amusing verse sometimes. On the main page for this very website is a poem Andrew wrote which is meant to sound like the King James Old Testament poetry, in fact.
Anyway, he now has a formally published poem, except it’s not really a poem. More like… free verse meets haiku. It’s on the public transport system (along with many others), but it’s also on the web, along with with an extremely amusing autobiographical paragaph.
I did take him to task somewhat over the way he used the word “contemporary” in the description. I think he could have chosen a better word, and I don’t think the way he used it was quite correct. He defended his choice of word, of course, but I still think he was wrong on the internet (which is why I must correct him; can’t have people going around being wrong on the internet now, can we?)
I will complain slightly that I was originally the one who came up with the idea of nursing homes filled with tattooed people with pierced eyebrows, but he’s forgiven for stealing my ideas. Fact is, we’ve been together so long now and our minds are so intertwined that it’s hard to tell who thought what first. But I’m sure that this was originally my concept. No matter. I’ll steal something from him and get it published one day. That’ll show him. Or something.
