This site is under construction because I am absurdly idiotic. I have had since May the finished product in hard copy but not the means to publish it and have it appear accurately. I am afraid that you will have to wait a tad longer for the graphics. Here is the emergency version.

hoo be i a sma brash bairn
cripped into tripping mony
a unwheeshit bellow
brayed
oot beyond beyond oot
frae i oot oot frae i
into the wondrous wind of
fragrant song
a sma brash bairn be i wi'
brain fair smashed mais nae
a dunderheed for a' dat
for a' dat for a' dat nay a
vacant noddle but o ho hum
ho rees a skippity seesawing
malaise triste
& buoyant blue
bubbling whaups of wheeling
daze gurgling gentle
merriment ae morn frae most
ae morn ae ae
parce que frae most dawn
mourns wabit singed
unsweet mawkish blitz
gi'ing harsh hurts more cred
than vanquished unpeeled
childhood laughter
wondrous wind
unwinds the sharded yarn
herebe lain i'to webs of
uncertain clout
horseshoe nails grow mighty
oaks from here where i am
singing say i with
determined roar and the sma
brash bairn hoo i be the sma
brash bairn wi' the cutey pie
crip mute lips cowers in fear
of apathy
artists be beggers begging
