Cosmologist Bri Poem by Douglas Scotney

at least here i see a Poet's Notes, ................not that it will help me, the REAL Bri, very much. ;) you make it sound like the guy is NOT originally from Earth. could it be? ? ========================================== and here is the message i sent you a bit ago: never heard of the guy (the Cox) before tonight. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - so i did a little reading, among which i found this that gave me a laugh at the end. you are forgiven if YOU do not laugh: Prof Cox acknowledges the confidence shown in him by the BBC, but he’s not lacking in confidence himself. “You make things for yourself ultimately and the biggest mistake you can make in television is to make it for somebody else. If you start to second guess what an audience wants, you’re on a road to formulaic television. So I’ve really no interest in people who say, 'Well we’ve had some focus group meetings and this is what we think.’ They should go and work on baked bean packaging. And even then they’ll make the wrong baked bean packet.” btw, your poem has left my head spinning like the Milky Way, which was also (and i think still is) the name of a delicious candy bar! i'm sure they contributed to my dentist's retirement fund. bri :)
