LIFELONG, MEANINGLESS MUSINGS MEAN EVERYTHING OF NO VALUE
aka
OFF THE WALL RAMBLINGS
After upscale meals, I know no relief
until I somehow pick my un-fancy teeth.
Serve me good food in my own home
and these same teeth leave me alone.
At work, when I am approached by someone
who wishes...

Lovebites In LoughtonSame faces
old men
briefcases
must be working
early today.
She's still doing the crossword
yesterday's news
feeding her answers
reading the clues
nothing changes.
Baby in a carry cot
not a lot of scope to wriggle
but
giggling anyway.
The tube map's the same
I can name every station
from Epping to Ealing
feeling old,...

Hard LifeCutting stones for building blocks doesn't
bring the whole food at the table. Playing
betting games force them to sell their
clothes and shoes. Saving money becomes
harder than collecting drops of rain during
drought.
Their children toil in the farms and streets,
because they have no school fees;
their daughters end up...

Spam and Craig"Proper Pam im-promiscuity carries a
tepid torch against the blank footlights
of a dimlit digital marital marquee---last on the
billing of a car-null double featurette like
a black and white bijou plotless rerun
hand cranked by an arthritic arm;
pit pursuant of
quicksand lust with a gray gaze monotony
able to hitchhike...

No LacesA line of loafers march in step,
through halls of granite and of pearl.
A rare and vaunted holy sept,
heels all clicking, toes unfurled.
Through halls of granite and of pearl,
briefcases locked by secret code,
heels all clicking, toes unfurled,
two by two, sixteen all told.
Briefcases locked by secret code,
the...

Living WithinLiving within-to-outward is an ideal feel-perspective when
attempting to faithfully navigate the deceptively treacherous
sea of human behavior. Those who initiate living, giving and
breathing life from within, know that peace, love and security
come only from their own core. Living-within-people accept
others...

The Truest Odes of WarSuch heavy artillery,
To whom shall we run,
To God have we come,
In pain and sad form,
To state our hearts' deform,
To stake our rights and reforms,
You know that where two Elephants fight the grass suffers,Do be well informed,
My youngmen you have been, deeply misinformed,
My insane Leaders and...

One Thousand Dead BusinessmenOne thousand dead businessmen
Zombies of emotionless regimen
Sharply dressed
Black suit and tie, freshly pressed
Leather briefcases, to seem professional
This march of skeletons is quite exceptional
DECAY
Burst into dust and wither away
Corruption and greed let them die
The next thousand corpse march includes you and I...

The Dichotomy-Two As One'Out of the office,
They pour at five-thirty'
In their shirts, coats, and ties,
Tired- but not really dirty'
In the parking lot,
They put their briefcases on the curb.
'Til they get their air-conditioned car unlocked.
Then-head for the suburbs.
Then there are the laborers:
Carpenters, welders, miners, and such.
Each night when they...

The DanceGot a belly full of booze and I
Feel like tripping the light fantastic,
Dancing with the devil in the pale
Moonlight, whatever you want to
Call it, I feel like dancing!
Doing the two step shuffle
And wiggle my get along, twirling
And twirling, fall down a bit but
The blood will...

I Am a Clutter JunkieFirst let me start by saying “I AM A CLUTTER JUNKIE”
A clutter junkie collects things any and all things, things that are unimportant and often cheap
Things that have no purpose or meaning.
Things that usually just end up sitting around needing to be dusted.
I have known...

A Matter of EtiquetteIn the Barley Tavern I’m in tune,
having a couple before it’s noon.
There was no-one there to talk to,
‘cept for the barman Ken, and who,
joined me to share one or two,
until a couple of blokes in suits,
black ties, white shirts and shiny boots,
dressed up and looking...

The Big One Eighttoday, sister, you are an adult
among the hurried ones in suits
attention cast to watches and briefcases.

upon the numeral of your age
without the feeling i have missed something.

the whole house has fogged up
