[New-Poetry] Carol Ann Duffy gets the laurels

[Judy Prince]

Thanks, Uche.  Oh well, if all you need is to dodge Hydra heads, easy enuff.
 Work, you see, is simply God's [substitute any word you like for God]
excuse for glorifying our talents [of course that means showing/helping
others to glorify their talents].  Yes, ALL of our talents.....and in the
same job as you now labour so reluctantly and desperately [finances, you
know, seem so um REAL, when we know of course that they're no more real than
the reality-logic of the "animal spirits" (ie, animus) that drives investor
folk to bleebup and blastdown the Dow et al every work day].
I'm not talking a shy, embarrassed, sneaking poetry-gorging moment or two at
the screen.  No, indeed!  I'm talking about your risking all by Being Poetic
Always at your workplace.  Use it or lose it, Uche!  Only you can do an UCHE
POET thang all the time.  Only you can do an UCHE POET thang therefore at
work, in your UCHE POET style.  Inimitably UCHE, you see.

ENJOY!

Judy
