A ball of fear
A ball of hate
A ball

Inspired by, of all people, Gertrude Stein, after having heard her reading of her poem:
If I told him: A completed portrait of Picasso
When I first heard it, I couldn't believe it - this was not poetry I thought! but it stayed with me, I can hear her voice monotonously repeating the words, and then, as I thought about this most annoying affliction, I thought of it in these words and terms - and voila - a modernist poem! merely inspired by Stein, not even close I suppose - I wish I could understand her genius and not dismiss it as diss!
