Genius Undercover
by David Wilding (1998 or 1999)
Am I so wrong?
Others seem to think so
What is it that I do?
Or don't do
What is wrong ...

Now, I know the answer
Very short

"Creative Genius"

Like a tiger

For soon they will know me
See me at fullest

Not started!
Won't finish
All this
Is just a taste
A sliver on the tongue
A mere tempter
For what ...
Is to come

'Downhill' - by David Wilding
- How long have I got now? And until what? At least one night At most another thirty years .... If I get there. Where do I go now? What will I do now? When I can't feed them, Can't feed myself, When winter freezes over And bills pile in ....
