Douglas Scotney Poems

Perhaps ignorant of nuance,
just-call-me-Marie
fed 'cake' to the people of France.
...

'He's obese', of yore,
meant: 'he's full-up',
'he's eaten everything on his plate',
'he's complete'.
...

said 'Seventeen is enough
for infinity'...

saw infinite syllables
...

Dutch touch
won overall
with, as usual,
je ne sais quoi.
...

A gambling man with limits
beyond which he wouldn't go,
because a believer
(one who doesn't know) ,
...

If, as by ours,
things
are started by the divine mind
out of need to do something,
...

I'll leave it to you
to work out why,
but,
when comfort and logic
...

Did I not get left enough
to be left enough to clap a man
who says we ought to throw our frontiers open
to whomever wants to come?
...

We've conning badly in common.

When you're suspicious
there's conning going on,
...

are there in 729²
than there are in 729?

729² = 9² x 81² = 9² x 9² x 9² = 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 x 9.
