Cro-Magnon Poetry: Habitus

Habitus

Only one in a suit
First day teaching at a new uni
Only one not in a suit
PhD graduation ceremony

Pierre Bourdieu's habitus DOES exist
Encircling and excluding us all

What is Cro-magnon Poetry??

It is poetry without pretention, without slavishness to form, or fashion, or profit. It doesn't use words like 'littoral', it speaks a plain English, it resonates with any normal people who read it. It is crude, unrefined, political, humourous, sad, whatever this cro-magnon is feeling the day I write it. It will probably never be 'discovered' by publishers or paid for, it will likely be stolen and submitted by lazy students in writing class. It is the by-product of a life lived, and has to be let out.

I hope you enjoy it.
