case28 (Alexander Case)

I was born in surf city, where the streets taught me how to think and speak, and the ocean showed me how to charge a wave. My parents sent me to school to learn how to write, but my teacher didn't like what she read,so she marked me with an 'F'. So I gave her an 'F' and everything started looking up.

Everyday I ate, wrote and slept, but my father told me poetry was no way to make a living, so he gave me a job and I worked like a dog. Now I had money. I got myself a laptop to make videos and bought a car painted with flames to win the girl down the road. So now I ate, wrote, made videos and fucked... and since then I've never slept.

That girl down the road became my girlfriend and very soon I never had any money, so I sold my surfboard and I stopped writing. Years rolled and life got complicated, so we moved away from the city to a small village by the sea. I saved my money and bought a new surfboard, immersed myself in the sea and the words came back to me like a tide. So now I devour life, I make love and create.

My name is Alexander Case

I am a poet
