The internet needs someone to scream. When modems stopped, we began.

Today’s poem is called ‘First Date’.
First Date    We’d so much in common, that was clear from the start:  a marriage of souls, like de Beauvoir and Sartre.  The connection was instant, almost irrational:  simply simpatico, fully compatible.    You confessed you loved winter, north Yorkshire, and cats.  ‘Me, too!’ I responded. ‘How amazing is that?’   You were wild about Wharton: you loved Ethan Frome.  ‘His best,’ I said, thinking I’d read him when home.     You praised a revival of Pinter’s Dumb Waiter.  I nodded along. I should google that later.  The discussion then turned to things that you hated:  Pulp Fiction, you thought, was quite over-rated.    ‘You make some good points,’ I eventually said.  I could always hide that poster under my bed.   You spoke of a loathing of poetry that rhymed  and I said yes,  that stuff’s awful.  Brian Bilston
