It pays the rent.
My friend, a fellow-Irishman
who lives in England
has found the perfect part-time job
for a misanthrope without ambition
as shelver of books in the library
of an emporium of erudition.

Vivre heureux, c'est vivre caché. (French proverb)*
Having always been unemployed,
my life has mainly been
(and continues to be)
immersions in remarkable books,
of which there are hundreds
- though I always skipped over the sex-scenes,
which made the Marquis de Sade
very easy to read.
*To be happy, stay under the radar.

in front of a camera
rather than leer.

Unrecognised.

we devalue things
as soon as we mention them."

Onus of Entropy.
Anus of intellect.
Rebus of rationality.
I feel
that I'm sinking
slowly below
the weight of futility.
