I live in fear

I was paid in cash & food.I enjoyed the conversation.I  mowed the lawn.I dug a hole 1 feet deep.I weeded. I turned some soil. I moved the compost. I used a spade to clear the edge of the sprawling lawn.I tore out nasturtiums 

I live in fear of the day some one on the bus, seeing me as elderly, offers me their seat. ( Feeling none of the excitement that i did on discovering my first pimple.)
I will bus less:
i will circumvent  this possibility.

I'm Under the Flight Path

Of  a Refrigerator.

House Of Cards 9 Netflix, 2013)

My dislike of this series could be blamed on my watching it too quickly: but really it is netflix fault for making it. Spacey chooses to bypass any reference to Ian Richardson; and instead retools the less entertaining aspects of " Stefano" in "Days Of Our Lives". Robyn Wright doubles the veracity of her 1 dimensional performance in Santa Barbara & the sets are the only thing not made of cardboard. It's an all adult entertainment : you can tell by the references to fellatio and cunnillingis. I'd add spoilers, but this is already well and truly spoilt.( Unless men on their deathbed getting hand jobs is your idea of a good time.)

A Man Needs A Dog

Proud. Smart.
Those who don't, don't know.
A dog that understands no.
As you tickle the tummy of the leashed, electric pet. To walk away when you need porn to release the stress of a day sitting on the couch.
To understand nuance.

Test for the Acid Cricket

"Oh my God", he's caught it- let's go straight to the replay."
"Yes, it's a lovely day under the 3 suns and by the dancing ants for acid cricket. Watch him fly up with those amber wings to take that one, magnificently."

( Replay rolls)

" Jesus H. Christ., he's dropped it on the replay." 
" What a quandary, he has caught it in real time and then dropped it on the replay."
" Yes, Mic, looks like it's a decision for the 3rd Yellow and Orange fluorescent dragon."

honestly

i love Kylie, because she makes me only the second least musical human being on the planet

A Little Business Venture That Didn't Work Out *

* From "The Lonely Passion Of Judith Hearne", or" Judith Hearne" , by Brian Moore.


spinister put the needle in the broken record
spruce up
a barbed bouquet of irony

washed down with a wee dram
a wee sup
a wee nip
a little holy water*
names my familiar

steak, my hart


sunny side down
eiffel tower tombstone
falls on you.


atoms and intuition, dissipation

bound.

South East Asian Trip , 2011

I discovered my authentic voice

 I discovered my authentic voice: it's pseudo intellectual.

Not Me, Not Ni

I have returned from the mouth of madness to cut down the tallest water cooler in the building with a parrot.

I say it best

when I say nothing at all…..

I prefer to remember Michael Vaughan for his laconic bumblings with corsetry in " Last Of The Summer Wine."

Dog Shit

Happiness is a warm bag of dogshit.

Adventures in The Skin Trade

...cold stiff people with time to kill sat staring at their tea and the clock inventing replies to questions that would not be asked justifying their behaviour in the past and the future drowning every present moment  as soon as it began to breathe… time was dying all over the room.

Dylan Thomas
" Adventures In The Skin Trade."
from reading on 2nd February, !952

Dog On beaten uP ChaIr

drying, out.
piggybacked
on childhood joy.
past the gurney
an opiate dream
of the person
with the fearful 
voice
a friend, away-
close anew

piggybacked
face on stubble
and holding
Dad's strong back.

Pt. 2

Sleeping roo
no ruse
rise horizontal sun
 low peek of
 adelaide hill.

lei, lei, asleep, asleep

garland my dreams
with your beauty

sing me again.
I love the sound.
