     And he’s reading his text
  With no care and I’m vexed
       A long letter...what’s next?
Origami folds into fan…

It had to be a dream
But so, so real
It did seem

And it did feel
Like everything in sight
Had it's own appeal

Oh how bright
Was the black
Of the night

Then the attack
From all around
Front and back

Unbelievable was the sound
Of pain's own cry
Even through the ground

Fight or fly
No! run and...

The year1762 a tale of murder or mystery they boast
 A teenage girl, drunken parish clerk, and maybe even a ghost
About hordes of aristocrats and wealthy men assembling
 Crowds rivalling Covent Garden, Theatres were now descending

To a house near St Paul’s on a road named...

All the students were very aware
There were nits crawling in her long hair
Perching on the next seat
Trying to be discrete
I got itchy and had to move chair 

based on a real event

Have you ever had a major itch
Deep inside your brain
Where your whole face does a Chubby Checkers twist
Driving you erratically down crazy lane

You need to find that special something 
To cram far enough up your nose
And if you can't get to it that way
There's that...

Fact of every day life, is in all one thought process
everything you hear, is about wars killing 
spending multi-millions on weaponary 
to then create suffering little children 
Crying poor, in their mothers and fathers arms
thrown to the wolves,they who are defenceless 
meek and humble innocent...

Clawing, scratching, screaming
A heart's endless scheming
Can you hear me? No!
Can you feel me? No more!
Do you see the pain drip from my eyes to the floor?
Remember my taste?
Oh what a waste.
I can't un-remember anymore.
Look to my hands, see their desire;
Choking out words to quell their...

If It Bleeds After Scratching It

If it bleeds after scratching it, then you went too far.
I see a parade of dead people walking by me in this old dream.
They are eating bananas and I recognize their faces as friends,
I hear their familiar voices, and I...

When I left he was in his lounging chair

TV way too loud

The glow of discontent on his face

Made me want to cry

 

The only peace now in his life

Never left his side

He sat there scratching Baxter

Life just passed him by

 

In his day he was...

Have an itch in a naughty place
Should you scratch on the subway or while you shave
Could be dangerous
Singing in a church chorus
Or during a romantic setting as you romantically gaze...

The scratching wakes me up
Ridiculously unsatisfying
Yet notoriously put there by shingles
Or excruciatingly painful allergen.
A scream for help

Time is in my way
Sorry I sid not sneak my Excedrin pm into hospital
Morphine is not cutting it.
Each time more insistent 
On a more potent drug...

I skiddle down the hardwood hall;

Scratching, sliding, bump and fall.

Grooming himself

Pampering himself

All curled Up?
On the purple velvety mink blanket...
