Nobel Prize Winner

NOBEL PRIZE WINNER? Nasal, sand paper gritty voice. Why did he win the poetry Nobel? “The answer my friend” may be “blowin’ in the wind.” What were the Swedes thinking when they voted, what were they on?. Probably sat around saying “everybody must get stoned.” Some probably opposed the vote How could it be unanimous? The yeas said “don’t stand in the doorway, don’t block up the hall.” The chair tried to contact this great man of counterculture poetry. No response. The notice on his website taken down. Surly, snarling, reclusive. His thought might have been “Go away from my window…… I’m not the one you need.” Will he come to Stockholm? Will he stay hidden? Perhaps we should ask Quinn the mighty Eskimo.
