Can't help the PJ:) sheesh..that sounded so bad.
harris khalique has written far better poems. he lives in pakistan, not london, was there for some time perhaps, and is one of the most unique poets in both urdu and english for his simplicity and paradox. i met him twice when in pakistan. he is balding, warm and very sexy.
