Dan is a weak swimmer
Dan wants to live
surrounded by the largest waves in the world
Dan is a liar
Dan wants to be loved by
everyone
Dan has weak legs
Dan wants to get stronger
Dan has a bad memory
Dan keeps drinking red
wine
Dan doesn’t want to copy
Bukowski
Dan can’t help but write
the way he does
Dan is scared of black
people
Dan is scared of white
people
Dan feels pity for the
hundred year old Indian man who lives across the rd
Because he can see
himself when he looks at him
Dan hates his name being
written or spoken over and again
Dan loves too much too
often
Dan feels too little too
often
Dan wants to get paid for
his poetry
Dan hates journalistic
and professional writers
Dan idolises Gallo, and
Dali and Billy Childish
Dan wants to meet Robert
Anton Wilson
Dan gets on with women
better than men
Dan needs to get more red
wine
Dan is a potential
murderer
Dan is full of ideas and
hope for the world
Dan wants to just stay in
bed a bit longer
Dan wants to turn over
after the alarm clock cracks his head
And sink into blonde hair
for 2 more beautiful hours of sleep
Dan is a scoundrel
Dan has confidence that
things will be ok
Sooner or later.
