Greetings Faux Poets and Writer Ghosts!

Welcome to your lecture 3 teaser episode.

The most subtle and surprising places, people, muses and inspirations, our writing affected, possibly perfected, on those inexplicable innovations, we have reflected, such strange insights from films, scenes and places unexpected.

Master Chief John James "Jack" Urgayle (From the film G.I. Jane) reciting the poem by DH Lawrence titled Self-Pity:

"I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself."

You can achieve two feats: you can invent, or improve upon, you can create or correct, you can make or master. I will not even pretend that my poem, very much inspired by this one improves upon, corrects or masters Self-Pity, but I did have the courage to take a work of art and take it in a different direction, color it in different chalk, transform the takeaway. What was a solemn, introspective, profound poem is now humorous, darkly sarcastic, but no less true. Plus, I believe my title to be far more original than a hyphenated term that is rote and derivative by comparison

Impolite Primate (by Falsetto Prophet)

I never heard an animal apologize.

I've seen a gull drop a crab,

then peck out its eyes,

a badger's blood-stained claw, 

spoors of its slashing spree;

I've heard primal caterwaul,

but not one apology.
