psychoceramics: Kook poetry on the Web

This is the poetry of Bob Allisat, who is reputed to be a major net.crank.
(I don't have all that much info on Allisat myself; anyone care to fill me
in on history and so on?)   Some of you will have seen some of his poetry.
For those who haven't, let's just say that it appears to be on the fine line 
between experimental art and lunacy, perhaps in the same twilight world as 
the images of Paul Laffoley (http://www.mainelink.net/~imagewks/lafley.html).

A sample poem follows:
