I wish my poems weren't about you
...I often write in anger,
I write when I am hurting.
So many poems are focused around the word "you".
I hate it.

I’d just be another defunct Debit Card
That was no longer valuable.
A monthly salary that no longer need be paid into the bank.

Two Weeks Before Christmas
...It isn't looking to me at all like Christmas,
There's been no ice, nor sleet, nor snow.
I've heard no jingle bells in the air,
Or caroling on the square,
Or seen anyone anywhere
All bundled up l...

...Confused by DVD interactivity,
Lost in soulless Internet chat-rooms,
Spied on by precision satellites,
Tracked down by mobile phone texters,
Hit by multi-media bombardment,
Tied up with twisted ...

Years Later
...Many years after leaving London
I return to the city
it is still dreaming of better days.
I am burdened with landscaped memories,
recordings taken with out-of-date electronics;

The Arrival of Sound
...Once upon a long time,
The silence blanketed my world
Like snow covering an arctic forest.
The nooks and crannies of my days
Were filled with the wispy webs of quietude
