Just like Bodhi

Like Bodhi, I am proof that the human spirit is still alive. And that might turn out to be my greatest achievement.

I need a title for my first volume of poetry ...

The Human Spirit

or

The Human Spirit is Still Alive

???

Probably not. Titles are difficult, man. Not for individual poems, but just for collections.

I don't know.

All I do know is ...

The human spirit is still alive. Even with smartphones, and artificial intelligence, and more and more fascism by the day ...

... and all the other rubbish ...

THE HUMAN SPIRIT IS STILL ALIVE - !!!

That's me. I am the human spirit. And I can't even surf!

'Mikey don't surf!'

Oh, hello, Voice.

'Hello. / Where's all the finance, boss?'

Ha, ha, ha!

Well, you'll be glad to hear, Voice, that Lucky is preparing a PDF for us.

'Brilliant!'

Yeah, yeah.

It's not brilliant, son. But it's cheap. Lucky is cheap.

Anyway ...

How did I get to the age of fifty-four without becoming so ooo ooo ooo beaten down by life?

Ha!

It's my secret. I won't ever tell.

However, maybe I'll be under the waves soon. I don't know. Will that be a tragedy?

I've got to stay positive, man!

The important thing is ...

The galaxies. At least two trillion of them. I must think of the galaxies, and lose my fear of the waves, or ... of anything ... you dig?

Life goes on.

The human spirit might actually become the dolphin spirit. That's something to hope for.

But not in the sea, no!

'No!'

I deserve a bigger prize than that.

You know, kooks, don't you?

'They know.'

I'm talking about outer space.

Flying forever!

'Nice one!'

Yes, yes ... it will be nice, I'm sure.

Listen ...

Rockets are for squares and losers.

Just saying, like.

You, you, you ...

You want to become a cosmic dolphin. That's what you want.

Think about it.
Work towards it.
Expand your mind.

Laters!

'Bye!'

Poetry thoughts ... emergency novel, music, etc

I'll be stopping all this soon - as you know, dear readers. Just not today, that's all.

This is a finance blog.

Anyway ...

I really think I've discovered the perfect length for a "great" poem. Forget the number of lines for a moment. Count the words, man! My big poem is roughly 40 words longer than Ode to a Nightingale, and roughly 70 words longer than The Whitsun Weddings. That's the right length. 580-650 words. Maybe 500 to 800 words, if you're writing quite a few of these things.

What about short great poems like The Second Coming ... ??? Well, sure. Anything up to forty lines, 150 to 350 words, is fine, I suppose. There's nothing is 34 lines, roughly 200 words.

However ... there's a difference between small greatness and big greatness, you dig?

Of course, I don't recommend the writing of epic poems these days. I don't even think you should write poems the length of The Waste Land. Eliot got lucky with that poem. And got lucky with Ezra Pound, too. Most very big poems are so ooo ooo ooo boring. Just look at Four Quartets.

EMERGENCY - !!!

Oh, I woke up this morning with the idea of an emergency novel in my head like Papillon. But I looked at my revised first page from whenever it was ages ago and it's not in the same league as my recent poetry. I guess I will just have to write a volume of poetry that sells like a successful novel. Yeah, yeah. How will that be possible??? Ha, ha, ha! I'll have to stick to my crazy plan. You know the plan, kooks.

Christ.

And the cosmos is still trying to help. With music, surprisingly. I've had two amazing dreams lately. In the first one, I was on this stage at a big open-air concert. The band was behind me, and I was walking around the stage - a bit like Jim Morrison or Frank Sinatra - and singing this pretty cool song. Words and music, yes. I couldn't remember much of it when I woke up. The strange thing about this dream was ... I was looking down at my feet, and I could actually feel my feet on the stage. Strange, eh? / In the second dream ... well, this pissed me off because I heard an awesome rock ballad, words and music, from beginning to end, better than any song I've written, and just the greatest song ever, probably, but ... I woke up and could only remember the verse melody, which I sang into my Zoom Handy recorder. So ... am I going to write this song? I doubt it. I haven't even touched my guitar for two or three weeks. I'm just really angry that I couldn't remember the whole song. Really angry! And the thought of having to work on that bit of melody now doesn't appeal to me. / And, oh ... I don't blame the cosmos, by the way. It's my stupid fault for not being able to get a grip on my dreams. Or I can't control my sleeping, I don't know.

And, yeah, yeah ... I've dreamt various lines of poetry, too, which I can't remember. Music is easier to remember.

I just ...

How the hell did Ramanujan manage it?! All those mathematical formulas, you know?

Never mind.

Laters!

With the world being the way it is ...

I should only write poetry. I don't know about you, dear reader(s). I really don't, I'm afraid. But I ... should only write poetry.

Everything is chaotic.

It's a good thing I've only got eight poems. If I had twenty or thirty poems right now ... they would be too rough, and only add to the chaos.

You dig?

However, I will need thirty poems soon. At least thirty.

If only I could shut everything else out of my life. I need to concentrate, man! How can we concentrate in this world?

You, you, you ...

How do YOU(!) concentrate???

Or are you all over the place?

I don't blame you if you are.

It's not your fault. It's not my fault.

We have to blame the elites. Yes. They're the ones who made these modern smart phones. If we couldn't afford to pay for the phones ... they would definitely be handed-out for free. Think about that.

Just refuse to buy them! Just refuse to pay your phone bill! See what happens. A free phone. No bills ever again.

(A lot of you get free phones, anyway. Don't you??? But I'm not on a contract. I'm clever.)

The elites want us distracted.

Uh.

But I may have no choice soon. Freedom! I may have to live in a cave. So be it! I will write in the mornings. I will write in the afternoons. I will write in the evenings. I might get a bit of kip at night. I will never surrender!

On the beaches, yes. On the cliffs, yes.

Every poem a polished and concentrated miracle!

Every poem a spear thrown at Darius!

And I might hit him a couple of times, too ... which is more than Alexander did.

Laters.

Robot fox

The hot stink of fox? I doubt it.

'Do robots smell, boss?'

I don't know, Voice. But they might get hot.

Anyway ...

WHAT ON EARTH IS THIS ALL ABOUT?!

Anyway ...

Fox Robotics Ltd, in collaboration with the  University of Surrey and the  Agri-EPI Centre, along with three prominent farms - MA & MP Stockwell Barnsmuir Farm in Scotland,  Lutton Farm in Peterborough, and  Secretts Farm in Surrey - has been awarded a grant of £998,639 for their ground-breaking FLEXBOT project, from DEFRA and Innovate UK.

£998,639 ... ??? That's a strange number, ain't it?

'What's strange about it?'

Well ... what's wrong with £999,000? Or the cool million?

Never mind.

Revolutionising Agriculture with FLEXBOT.

Yeah, yeah.

Listen! I like real foxes, man. I got real ones in my garden, and I trust them. They come out at night. I don't want fucking robots in my garden, you dig? Not while I'm sleeping.

The FLEXBOT project is funded by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs ('Defra') through the Farming Futures Automation and Robotics Competition. The Farming Innovation Programme work in partnership with Innovate UK, who are delivering the programme, and  aims to benefit from the significant experience of Agri-EPI Centre in coordinating and enhancing agricultural technology practices and helping farmers, integrating the significant robot vision & AI capabilities of the University of Surrey, to enhance Fox Robotics Ltd.'s cutting-edge technology, with a particular focus on refining the navigation capabilities of their autonomous all-terrain robot, Hugo RTTM.

Hugo the fox?

Whatever!

Hugo RT™ was designed with horticulture farms in mind, with all-terrain capabilities and autonomous navigation, providing invaluable support to farmers in their day-to-day operations, but has applications in husbandry, fruit, flowers and other agricultural contexts.  Hugo RTTM's versatility spans various tasks, from off-season work like mowing grass, transporting soil, and handling delicate seedlings to the demanding in-season tasks of transporting harvested produce. The unique feature of Hugo RTTM lies in its ability to perform these tasks without the need for human intervention, thus optimising efficiency and productivity in agriculture.

What?! I mean -

'Oh, this is crazy! Go to the voices, boss.'

Well, we've got five of them, Voice.

'Five?! Yippee!'

Yeah, yeah.

Fox's  Chairman, Christian Gordon-Pullar says:

Ha! He reckons he's the chairman of the fox. The boss of the fox! Have you ever heard anything so ridiculous?

"We are delighted to be able to participate in the FLEXBOT project and to help steer and lead such an illustrious group of collaborators on this exciting journey and very grateful to be selected for this Grant in light of the excellent competition. The aim of this collaboration is to enhance technology that aims to simplify the adoption of robotics in agriculture by mitigating the complexities associated with advanced technology manipulation and will empower farmers to harness the benefits of robotics without the need for extensive technical expertise."

Foxes don't have bosses. Just saying.

Anyway ...

Gary Livingstone, CEO of the fox, says:

Unbelievable!

"We are delighted to be have received the Grant from DEFRA and INNOVATE UK. It is envisioned that this initiative will not only encourage an ecosystem of add-on suppliers but also lay the groundwork for collaborative efforts that employ mobile COBOT platforms, thus propelling the traditionally fragmented Agri-Tech industry towards standardisation."

Yeah, yeah. 

Henry Acevedo, Founder and CTO of the fox, says:

"The FLEXBOT project represents a -'

NO - !!!

I've had enough of these guys. Seriously.

'Go to Ted, boss.'

No, Voice. No more voices.

'Ted is all right.'

Is he?

Okay.

Ted? Come on, son!

Ted, big fan of real foxes, says:

"With a sudden sharp hot stink of fox, it enters the dark hole of the head."

Er ...

Well, okay.

Er ...

Is there anything you want to add, Ted?

Ted?

'He's gone.'

Well, fine.

'At least we got a hot, smelly fox to finish with, boss. That's something.'

Yeah, I suppose.

My first volume of poetry???

I will stop writing about poetry soon, but not yet because ... I don't want to write about finance, frankly, my dear.

All right?

Anyway, I've been thinking again. I like thinking sometimes, especially about the future, the green light, etc, etc.

You know what I mean.

Anyway ...

You know I need at least thirty poems. I really need them before Christmas. I've got eight.

Er ...

I don't know.

Listen! A lot of them can be short poems ... as long as they're high-quality "supporting" poems, and not filler, you dig?

I mean, we have filler here from Philip Larkin -

As Bad as a Mile

Watching the shied core
Striking the basket, skidding across the floor,
Shows less and less of luck, and more and more

Of failure spreading back up the arm
Earlier and earlier, the unraised hand calm,
The apple unbitten in the palm.

It's not terrible poetry or anything, but ... is it needed? These days, like.

With the robots and all.

But here is a great little poem from Larkin that I have read countless times, and memorized, too -

Cut Grass

Cut grass lies frail:
Brief is the breath
Mown stalks exhale.
Long, long the death

It dies in the white hours
Of young-leafed June
With chestnut flowers,
With hedges snowlike strewn,

White lilac bowed,
Lost lanes of Queen Anne's lace,
And that high-builded cloud
Moving at summer's pace.

It's amazing how this poem captures the essence of summer in only twelve short lines!

Now, I have three short poems. Maybe I could get fifteen? Out of my eight poems, I would say that four of them are "great". Maybe I could get ten??? Who knows?! After Christmas, I could slowly build towards forty poems.

The thing is, I need to sell a lot of books, too. A lot of books! My life being what it is. / Thinking of living poets in recent times, only Larkin, Hughes, and Heaney sold a lot. I mean, when they were alive, like.

So ... it's the great big-ish poems that really matter. Actually, I can't stop reading my There's nothing poem. It's only thirty-four lines, not really big ... but bigger than twelve lines, obviously, but ... BUT(!) -

OOO - !!!

Do you know what I mean?

OOO - !!!

You must know what I mean, kook? Surely? No, I don't think you do.

Honestly, that poem is beyond being "great". It's genuinely "OOO - !!!" ... and that gives me hope.

Let's be honest, come on ... you only need one OOO! in a career as a top poet. I've got at least two. The other OOO! being the BIG 156-line poem, you dig?

And two of the poems that I put in the competition, the other two out of the four "great" ones, might actually be ... ooo ... it's hard to say.

Anyway ...

I hope you understand me. Not that I care all that much. This is my diary, son. Maybe even my "private" diary, daughter.

Christ!

How lucky are you, eh?

How privileged!

Laters.

'Bye! Ha, ha, ha!'

Oh, hello.

'Bye!'

Yeah, yeah.
