Without sounding obvious the average Joe on the street lives under an invisible ceiling\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

He or she is not aware of its existence as they cannot see or touch it.<\/em><\/p>\n

But they can feel it\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why do you say that Alice?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They can feel it because when lets say a mathematical problem becomes too great then they retreat\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

If one takes the study of mathematical knots or the knot theory into question then you will lose a great number of people<\/em><\/p>\n

I am not an expert but I know my way around as a cab driver knows all the side streets in London<\/em><\/p>\n

That is because that as far as I am aware I do not have this ceiling<\/em><\/p>\n

Perhaps this is an arrogance but I have a great understanding of many things<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is where I will halt this conversation my dear reader<\/p>\n

Alice Lister lives in one of the more fashionable suburbs in London<\/p>\n

You might see her as arrogant<\/p>\n

But what would you think if I told you she is a\u00a0 respected academic<\/p>\n

Bluestocking in an Ivory Tower<\/em><\/p>\n

Ugly and fat as fuck<\/em><\/p>\n

Are just a couple of the less than flattering messages she has received recently<\/p>\n

But in real life Alice is considered quite attractive<\/p>\n

Rather like a young Catherine Deneuve<\/p>\n

But with darker hair<\/p>\n

And she is considerably taller<\/p>\n

Than the French actress<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In 2010 I was punched in the face by a guy who thought that I had insulted his grip on a subject<\/p>\n

I noted whilst bathing my bleeding nose that the ceiling that I had mentioned was clearly evident because of his violent response.<\/p>\n

My assailant did not reason at all and just lashed out just as an animal might do when cornered<\/p>\n

His reaction was primal<\/p>\n

Although he apologised almost immediately I asked it he took anything away from the unfortunate event that it should be that he does try to understand his ceiling a little more<\/p>\n

Violence promotes violence and is in most cases a negative<\/p>\n

Also why punch a small man who wears glasses<\/p>\n

Was it my appearance or just my mouth that fucked him off<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am a poet and in the process of writing\u00a0The Golden Book at the End of the Alphabet<\/em><\/p>\n

I have not finished it<\/p>\n

I am looking forward to meeting my poem<\/p>\n

I am going to send a copy to Alice<\/p>\n
