A need for glue: (1 Viewer)

[Erik]

Yesterday this poem popped up on my MPJ3-player during shuffle mode.
It struck me that Buk predated Dylans's song Everything is Broken (1989) by almost 20 years here. Wonder if Bob ever read it.

Searching the database I find "a need for glue" was only printed once in Pulse nr 4 1971. Does anyone have that publication? I would really like to see it in print... The two other poems in that issue have never been published again either...

Have a listen here.

There's certainly some similarities between the two texts, but hardly enough to draw any conclusions. It's interesting none the less.

Thanks Eric,

that was fun at first sight,
then it got freaky as I let it in. ;)

Both poems have definite similarities.

I had forgotten about that one video. I just sent it to 5 different people.

True enough - its actually an ok video

Buk uses an "uncommon" word in the first line: "echelon". In his early period he was still trying to be "literary".

Maybe he was ahead of his time:
