The conversation around lenity's post (87) piqued my interest and decided to see if could track down the McKean piece "Entr'acte" its a little disturbing but interesting, you can see it here along with interview and a boat load of McKean work -  its about 3/4 the way down a fairly long page :)

The OP seems like something of a pirate but anyway post 74 and 75 are poetry.  Look forward to going back and reading all the poems and, perhaps posting a few things - folks here don't seem too picky about what's put in which is nice.
