Watching the futbol match between the national teams of Ireland and Slovakia. I managed to purchase a cheap seat and I am sitting up in the nosebleed section. We drank and cheered as the game wore on. The Irish national team emerged victorious 2-1. Suddenly I remembered my mother’s maiden name: McClay. A surge of ethnic pride surged through my being. I was hugging other fools in the stands. We emerged victorious in a qualifying match. I was hugging Celtic warriors and Joycean drunks alike in our victory
Moment of triumph
the true blood line emerges
ethnic memory
stirs up unwavering pride
party like an Irish Wake

But,I continuallee meeat a breirk wall,
Found mineself in a vercomb,vercomb of confusshaun;
Warndeer when I will be phree from thease,
I toyled and tryed daylee to be chairfool;
but thease stickmer refuzees to go lyke
a stagnant aqua fortis,
I arm sensesthief to exstream sirelength,
which makes me pheel moore dealjectead.

Gibberash spontainly rushed
From other poet’s pens regushed,
Cannot contain the jovial
That Joycean phrases frame so well.
Ditberner is the Guzzi dare,
Dare I to say I doubly care?
Constracted I to JJ.’s soul,
I half a line to make it whole.
I fear my brain will adlelate
My mind doth too soon arbitrate.
Read this I beg in smallish doses
Ere Poetry Soup gives in and closes.

Joycean Jewels
or does it come like a channeled thought,
from the ones we left all alone,
before being brought forth,
from the place too, we all go home,
deaths draught...
has bought,
when i get through,
with naught,
like an empty Kangaroo,
portmantu...adieu.
thank you Anne Lise...
