Lewis Dalton is a poet from Yorkshire, UK. His work is the result of talking to the homeless, alcoholics and the unfortunates about their life to that point, as well as his hope for new, unique writers to appear. Until recently, all his work was offered to the individuals he wrote about, though now he has begun to keep copies of what he writes. In Sept' 2010 he will begin university in Manchester or Oxford.

Art Fag (November 20, 2009. Issue 11.)

Appreciate a bag of jumbled letters
to an audience of idiots, like yourself.
Understand what means nothing to anyone,
as to blossom into an old, fresh spun web.
Discuss the work of a drunkard; of a wife beater;
of a cheater; of the town whore who lies to you.
Discuss the shit that has always been labled art;
discuss it and adorn yourself in popularity.
Is it good to be loved? Do you think of it alone?

Or are you as she
who wants he
to be hers
by being his
untimely demise by her
caressing of oblivous ideas that his
body craves yet
hers is his,
til it's theirs.

Appreciate anything that is not the norm,
that wasn't born with a silverspoon.
Understand the fact I know you lie to me
in order to get a hard cock of a rad guy in your stinking gash.
Discuss how you fake an orgasm as to heave
a thousand collectables into your attic.
Do you understand? Do you love my art?

I fucked you because you were there.
I wrote this becaue I don't care.
I got rid of you because you're not there.
You just pretend to be, but all you are is pussy.

Now comment on the genius of the honesty
that is created in my poetry.
On how the lack of metaphor instills honesty
that is created in my prick.
