Al Warcock comes from the humblest of beginnings, roots that belie his meteoric talent. <\/span><\/span><\/p>

The Poet, as he has come to be known in contemporary poetry appreciation circles has become the defining voice of modern poetry. Without exaggeration, he is the personification of his craft. <\/span><\/span><\/p>

Al was born in the claustrophobically small South East London town of Bexley on the edge of the border to Kent, the \u2018Garden of England.\u2019 He grew up on the verge between the beauty of nature and the encroachment of what was new and forged of the human spirit. Perhaps this goes some way to explaining his effortless grasp of the nature of humanity and his ability to express it through modernistic interpretations?<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Like so many creative geniuses, he found himself an outlier, a social outsider who knew he never truly belonged with the herd. The bitter tang of his uniqueness was a driving force in his creative evolution toward the mighty force for prose that he is today. <\/span><\/span><\/p>

Having found his voice he began creating works of modest stature but he was noticed. How could anyone fail to see his brilliance, we now look back and wonder, of course?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I start as an animal, pecking the ground.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I climb to the top of a very high mound,<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Of ground and I hear a sound, or noise,<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Or something… It\u2019s the shit I\u2019m walking atop<\/span><\/span><\/p>

And it sounds putrid.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

The waste of a thousand vented spleens,<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Ruptured, inverted with spasmodic force.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Violent eruptions of noise and stench,<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Brown and wetness, served up on a plate,<\/span><\/span><\/p>

With a side dish of anguished cries.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

There\u2019s a little blood too\u2014just for colour.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I\u2019m a chicken.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I don\u2019t care about any of that, though there\u2019s a<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Troubling hint of poultry in its pungent bouquet.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

My brain is the size of a pea, and if it gets cut off,<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I\u2019ll run about like I\u2019m having the best of days.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

A single, fatal overdose of the happy-drugs,<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I guess. I wouldn\u2019t know. Why would I?<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I\u2019m a chicken.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

My life is about scratching in the leavings of man,<\/span><\/span><\/p>

The spatterings of last night\u2019s culinary delights.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

My own delights wriggle and jiggle and squiggle.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I don\u2019t even know if squiggle is a word.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

How could I?<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I\u2019m a chicken.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

A worm! Result! Hardly a tasty snack,<\/span><\/span><\/p>

But I have the intellectual capacity of a sandwich,<\/span><\/span><\/p>

And would be moderately better off without my own head.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

What the hell would I know?<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I\u2019m a chicken.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Someone grabs me from behind.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I flap my wings furiously because I forgot I can\u2019t fly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Stupid chicken, I think to myself!<\/span><\/span><\/p>

A man-beast looks at me with fetid breath.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

It\u2019s not a look of love for a precious pearl,<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Or a woman perving shoes in a shop window.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

It\u2019s a look that says that the time you took<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Planning the rest of the day was mistook,<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Time that could be better spent any other way.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I don\u2019t know how useful chickens can be.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

But because I am a chicken, I\u2019m not thinking this.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I\u2019m just flapping my stumpy wings, impotent, sterile.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I deserve what\u2019s coming. It\u2019s not like I was going<\/span><\/span><\/p>

To change the world with my chickeney brilliance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

The greasy fingers around my neck tighten.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Does he want to fight me for my worm?<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Does he want to be friends?<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Next thing I know, my head is not where it was,<\/span><\/span><\/p>

But my body is still. I feel the urge to run.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I thought I\u2019d be better off without my head<\/span><\/span><\/p>

But I think I might have been wrong.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I was probably wrong about a few things,<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Now I think about it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Worms frankly taste like shit,<\/span><\/span><\/p>

And that\u2019s not even the half of it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I\u2019m dead now, but I watched with keen interest<\/span><\/span><\/p>

As my fluffy bits were pulled off one by one.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Looking at myself all naked, I realised I had let myself go.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I look a bit like that actress, if she\u2019d done more cardio.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

It\u2019s embarrassing, watching my body violated like this.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Other chickens looked fatter, plumper juicy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I looked sad. My heart wasn\u2019t in it, I guess.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Red and yellow stuff is added. I don\u2019t know what it is.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I was just a chicken before, but now an appetising dish.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I guess a curry is smarter than a chicken, but not by very much.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I know people would argue that curry ain\u2019t smart<\/span><\/span><\/p>

But get your head around this…<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Next time you\u2019re hungry are you gonna order a curry<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Or a goddam chicken? Yeah, curry is the smarter choice.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I\u2019m being upgraded. Something better. Something tasty.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

We have the technology. Can\u2019t be bad, I think.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

It\u2019s new to me to be able to think.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I don\u2019t have a head,<\/span><\/span><\/p>

But I have herbs and spices and they smell like happiness.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

That\u2019s how thinking works, it\u2019s all so clear to me now.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I\u2019m not excited to see worms and bugs so that\u2019s good too.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I\u2019m a curry, so there\u2019s still a lot of bugs around<\/span><\/span><\/p>

But that\u2019s just how it is.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I can\u2019t see any worms, so that\u2019s something.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Right?<\/span><\/span><\/p>

There seems to be a lot of heat. I don\u2019t know why.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I\u2019m just a curry, you don\u2019t see many of them winning chess matches.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I wonder what happened to my head?<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I wonder if I\u2019m dead?<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I wonder if I\u2019ll be served with bread?<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I wonder what else rhymes with \u2018shed\u2019.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Not \u2018worm,\u2019 that\u2019s for certain.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Being a curry was alright, but it didn\u2019t last long.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Before I knew it, I felt myself coming apart<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Reassembling somewhere dark, and wet, and smelly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

There was a gurgling noise for a long time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I made a new friend.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

His name was \u2018sandwich.\u2019 He was once a chicken too.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

He came with a pickle, sharp as a knife.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

He spoke of the wheel, the circle of life.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

How everything that once was would be once more.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

All of this has happened before.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Remember?<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Before I knew it, we were sped on our way.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

There was a rumble from within.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Then there was a terrible din.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Pickle flashed me a crafty grin,<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\u2018We\u2019re on our way out, we\u2019re off to the bin!\u2019<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I had no idea what he was talking about.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Sandwich panicked. \u2018It\u2019s the end of the game!\u2019<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I think being stuck inside a small-intestine<\/span><\/span><\/p>

For that long had made him go a bit crazy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

He didn\u2019t even like worms.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Weirdo.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Then a horrible splashing sound.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

A terrible rush from all around.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I was heading quickly to the ground<\/span><\/span><\/p>

And ended up in a filthy mound.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

There was rupturing, bleeding and screams of rage.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

The stench of chilli, cinnamon, and a little sage.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Suddenly there was light from all around. I was free.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Then I was wet. I went splashing down into a filthy bowl<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Of brown water with bits of blood in it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I used to be a curry. I don\u2019t need to put up with this.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I was laying on the ground, just a kind of brown entity now.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

All the good had been dragged out of me<\/span><\/span><\/p>

And my once beautiful herbs and spices had been turned<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Into a smell that would roll your eyelids back so fast<\/span><\/span><\/p>

They\u2019d cut your brain in two.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I laid there thinking what differently I could have done.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

What mistakes had I made? Did I really have a choice<\/span><\/span><\/p>

In all of this? Was this fate? What was fate?<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I was lost in my ruminations when… Splat!<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Goddam chicken.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Watch where you\u2019re walking, you filthy little twat.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

You can\u2019t argue with a pickle.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
