the f-word in a 4g age - new writing from this morning


Fillobal, Galiza, Friday, 2 March 2018


so were I to pose the question
can you maintain faith in a 4g age?
to whom would I pose this slow
speed question? and to think that I
have dated this question even though
it was most certainly asked in medieval times
when everything  all things all thought
and idea were in totality an emanation of God
so simply to pose the question implied
faith of a kind that is non-existent
at least here in the present of this
virtually besotten western world
which plays out as the future to some
exotic locales where faith is maintained
still as if it were early medieval Spain
but I return to my original question
and pose a question that I piggy-backed
earlier on to the original question
to whom do I pose my old and slow question
can you maintain faith in this 4g world?
to myself reflexively or to a young tech-
head expert in digital faith
or do I pose the question to you?

"so much things to say" - just finished this - took me about ten minutes to write - I wanted to break away from the highly structured dense weight of my last poem and write something loose and free, and a bit ironic - the first two and a half lines come from the wonderful Bob Marley song, "So Much Things To Say"
