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
