Good Morning Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stevie<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why have you called this piece <\/p>\n\n\n\n
West Carpet Land <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because technically I live to the west<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of Carpet Land <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have you ever visited Carpet Land <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you know anybody who works there <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Part one of this interview is over <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do you think it went <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is all that I would have wished for <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You said in a recent interview <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That you were sick of the world <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not the world only the people in it <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If I had my way I would buy Carpet Land<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And hide within the store <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I do like the scent of new carpets <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you thinking of hiding <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am hidden already <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You have said that you feel that we are sleepwalking towards oblivion <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are as the fools are in control of our ships <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are heading towards the rocks <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And although there is a lighthouse <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has been extinguished <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I cannot believe what is being said at present <\/p>\n\n\n\n
People are rewriting the history of the primates <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Primates do not have a history to speak of <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a natural order to things <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is obvious to anybody <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who opens their eyes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you saying that races differ <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you saying that some races are superior to others <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It depends what your understanding of superiority is <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many people are likely to find your views offensive <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is because they are fools <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At present people tend to hunt in groups <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why do you think that is <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because they consider that to hunt in groups protects them <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Does it protect them <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Obviously otherwise they would not do it<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is a lemming instinct <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Follow the group <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No matter where the group leads you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall it is self destructive <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It surprises me that what I might consider intelligent people <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are not really that intelligent <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What would you consider a perfect world <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is not a perfect world <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How would you change things <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Understand history <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do not try to rewrite history to your advantage <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That achieves nothing <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Understand the present and as I have noted the order of things <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The order of things <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Morning Afternoon Evening Night <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That does not change <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two and two will always makes four <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is that simple <\/p>\n\n\n\n
People complicate things with their own stupidity <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Much of it is because they are limited <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And realise that they are limited <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are invisible people <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who want to be remembered <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you invisible <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But you are a well known poet <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One can be well known but invisible <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the greater shape of things <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am only part of a calculation <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The future <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What about the future Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no future <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As it does not exist <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will never exist <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You might arrange a birthday party <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To take place in a months time <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But until it takes place it is no more than an arrangement <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And then it is history <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One can plan things <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But one cannot travel forward in time <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nor can one travel back in time <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What about Viola <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What about Viola <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She is a time traveller <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Viola is a fictional character <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you a fictional character Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I might ask you the same question Stevie <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
