When I speak
of things
as they are
it is for
the love that is

now this is where the foe system gets complicated, and therefore much more fun. I have banned Jack's writings from my computer which gives me much more free time to think about him.

Of his missing link here,I know only the following

Jack started a thread called "when I speak"

and Laurie replied as above.

Hmmm, I will take a flyer. Laurie is expressing the sounds of the Militant Wing going into action and, hopefully, shooting Jack. She is doing this not because she doesn't like him but because he deserved punishment for his post.

So my next guess is that Jack was not giving one of his usual spiels about how he met some woman who thought he was exceptional in an exceptional sort of way, but he was posting a poem. I don't think Laurie would shoot him for his personal problems. Indeed she is only authorised to shoot for good literary reasons.

I wish I had an idea how long his piece was but if I cheat and unblock him I might catch some of the words. I will guess that the piece was short (to save me time in reproducing), the form-book compels me to rule out humour but I am probably safe to presume it was pretentious and contained the creaking of Jack's efforts to be enigmatic.

My Guess is that Jack's went something like this

When I speak
lions listen
and the wind stops

When I speak
trees wave
hair waves
and the sea waves


When I speak
angels are anointed
with holy water


When I speak
the World stops
until the time
I, Jack Lazariuk, speaketh again.


I don't imagine I got it word perfect but I am 63.5% confident that I captured his main themes

Oh !!!

Maybe you should think twice Lauri
Before taking another shot
are you really sure that you want to have me in your sight ?

I haven't learned much but .....

Ah, Jack has replied. I presume it was to my recent post rather than a delayed reaction to Laurie shooting him

This time I am 84.2 % sure he wrote as follows

"Dear Michael, well done for guessing my poem so accurately

did I tell you that I met a woman today who said I was exceptionally exceptional.

Love

Jack

ps I am working on my humour. Listen carefully to this gag!!! I met another woman today and she couldn't decide whether we should go to the opera or to see Lennie's first comeback gig. I didn't know if I was Carman or Cohen. Ha, Ha, Ha, BOOM BOOM!!!"

He threatened me is what happened.

I guess when your poetry is made up of little slices of your heart (as opposed to intellect), the writer takes it personal.

I cryeth a tear of empathy...and beg Jacks forgiveness for having hurt his feelings. I'll send duct tape so his heart can be put back together again.

Such sensitives don't seem to have developed much of a senseofhumor. (more reason to cryeth tears)

you are demoted!!! what is the point of me banning some non-writer's writings if some writer writes what he wrote. can I make it any clearer?

Oh you thought that my poetry was a little slice of my heart and that is why you took a shot?

Is there something about my heart that you don't like?

I actually found what you wrote very sweet and it reminded me of some sweet events.

Last guess on the banned boy game before bath time.

Jack replied "I do have a sense of humour, oh yes I do, I do, I do, I do. You are being so horrid to me. Actually, just today I met a woman who said I had the most exceptional sense of humour that she had ever experienced, way funnier than any of her colleagues at the funeral parlour"
