I am not interested in narrative formalism<\/p>\n
That demands a beginning a middle and an end<\/p>\n
I just found a piece of sea glass on a beach that is not noted<\/p>\n
For its sea glass as there are no historical records of industry nearby<\/p>\n
It was not even a mature piece of sea glass as the chemical process was young<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I could have thrown it into the sea where it would remain for an indefinite period<\/p>\n
Until one day when it would be found once again now mature and would be moulded into a necklace<\/p>\n
That would be the conventional narrative a less conventional narrative<\/p>\n
Would be that the said piece of glass would be shattered into dust by a jet plane<\/p>\n
That would crash on to this beach in a few years causing a great deal of destruction but no loss of life<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Possibly nobody but me would write a poem about the life and fate of this small piece of sea glass<\/p>\n
It is unlikely that I would be able to use more than three hundred words should I actually choose to write this poem<\/p>\n
I could write a description of the chemical process that creates sea glass but again this would be quite short<\/p>\n
This piece of sea glass will be displayed for a while and then as it is small I will very likely misplace it<\/p>\n
The only narrative is that I am really a careless person who writes rather good poetry and likes all types of sea glass<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
