Alice Fulton Always Makes Me Feel Bad
I am listening to this reading by the poet Alice Fulton and in doing so I learnt a lot about me. I am not a very sensitive person. There's nothing deep inside me trying to get out, stay hidden or explain itself. I suppose all I think about is me and the sounds I make, excuse me please. I am devoid of animal rights thoughts or dirty planet fears. I am pretty much a guy with a nice exterior who talks a lot. I can't imagine anyone without a happiness other than on the surface. I live on the surface of my life like any other parasitic creature. I am glad I listened to Alice Fulton read her poems but I think I am the guy sitting there in the room completely enamored by his own sweat.
