I don't know what this thing should be called in English. It's not very good as it is and doesn't work at any level. There's a joke in here, though, that merits telling. The famous Finnish skijumper Matti Nykänen once told in an interview that he likes to read Walt Slade paperbacks. Now, snob that I was at the time, I laughed at this and joked about it with a friend of mine, who was even more snobbish than I was, if possible. We decided that Matti Nykänen was into concrete poetry and Walt Slade was an infamous poet who used only punctuation marks.
So, I decided that I do a Walt Slade poem. Here it is. I could've used more of my imagination, what little there was at the time (this is something like 1988-1989 and I was 16 or 17).
