What are writing?<\/em><\/p>\n

A short story
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

What is it called?
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

John Keats Superhero
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Fanny looked at me<\/p>\n

John was poet
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

A magnificent poet
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

That is where you are wrong
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Have you really read his poetry?<\/em><\/p>\n

Every word<\/em><\/p>\n

And you have never spotted the code?
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

What code?<\/em><\/p>\n

Just check out nightingale
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains
\nMy sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk,
\nOr emptied some dull opiate to the drains<\/em><\/p>\n

\nWhat does it mean to you?<\/em><\/p>\n

Please tell me of your thoughts
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

It is a warning that a drugged warrior will contaminate the waters of London very soon and only JOHN KEATS can stop the assassin<\/em><\/p>\n

IS that your full conclusion?
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes that is the labour of my thoughts
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

But Keats is DEAD AND BURIED in Rome
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

That was what THE WORLD was led to believe<\/em><\/p>\n

He IS as ALIVE as you and me
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Let us give THANKS
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

TO the Lord for the life of JOHN KEATS
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

In a sewer underneath Hammersmith Broadway a Polish sewerage worker named Zbigniew is dying<\/p>\n

He has had his throat cut<\/p>\n

By an assassin<\/p>\n

Who has tipped a white powder into the near water<\/p>\n

He watches as the rats die grotesquely<\/p>\n

\n

The moving waters at their priest like task
\nOf pure ablution round earth’s human shores<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

What are you writing John?<\/p>\n

Another poem I am expanding on an idea<\/p>\n

But within the hour I must leave you my love<\/p>\n

As I have important business in Hammersmith<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Here lies one whose name was writ in water<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

To be continued<\/p>\n

But be WARNed<\/p>\n

Do not drink the waters of LONDON TOWN<\/p>\n

Until I have completed my arduous task<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
