*Aug. 20, 2003.


Some of my best work
                                          Comes out of the blue--
Don't ask me
                         To Explain it to you!
I can't
             And I won't
                                    And I wouldn't want to.
Some alien poetic mind
                                           Causes my mind to perk
                                                                                      And I end up
Writing down thoughts
                                           From the seat of my pen.
I don't know when--
                                     I really don't know how--
And, I can't say I'm great
                                             But hey--I try.
So do me a favor
                               And just read the words.
Take them as they are
                                        And judge them for yourself--
                                                             Be you pauper or czar--
For I do the same
                                After my pen has ceased flying
And I assess the damage
                                               That the ink has wrought
                                                                             And my notebook bares.
So, please don't stare
                                       For meaning sought--
All I know is:
                                  These words came.

Next Arrivals by Robin Ouzman Hislop

Robin Ouzman Hislop's poetry is certainly in dialogue with some of the key architects of the 'poetics of indeterminacy' – both the Modernist strands represented by the likes of Beckett and Stein, and the postmodernist strands represented, initially,
