Mutant Comments

This weirdie comes indirectly out of a Forum discussion here: a tribute to that 'difficult' poetry which (as with all avant-garde stuff) you're not sure whether it's worth giving time to - but turns out in the end to be unforgettable and even life-changing...

I was a little impatient as I read this, Michael...a little like a college lecture that tells me more than I want to know. I'm guessing that is what you were aiming for...and the ending was absolutely a gem. I loved it at last, that mutant/freak. Thanks for playing with my mind. Raynette

This is a mysterious and haunting piece, Michael. The final stanza packs a terrific punch.

The poem really comes together at the end, cool.
