Connie was a looker, forty years ago.
Connie's still a looker, she looks like cookie dough.
You'll often find sweet Connie, talking to a mirror
Sayin, "Mirror mirror on the wall, please shrink my saggy rear!"

Chorus:

I came to say, I cannot stay, I know I must be going, in the royal unreal realm 
of simple selfish self, shedding/shredding of the u/me/my shydom charade of people poor of word, thought, premise...

I felt a bit like Humbert, or John Proctor, 
an ageing vulture drawn to fresh young flesh. 
She was a pretty, witty Turkish doctor 
(so, not exactly plundering the creche!) 

She seemed to like me,...

Microlight


When they appeared, we were like, “What …the?” motorcycles
dangling from multi-coloured wings, animated comic book scene
blond wisps racing at leisure in deliberate mid-morning breeze
rainbow spectrum gone haywire, in the azure June sky
they were flaunting metallics,...

QUIRKS

I once had a friend long time past 
Who was wont to always break his fast
On cornflakes not with honey and milk
But pickled onions, gherkins and their ilk

Now if that’s not a quirk I’ll eat...

Below the gray blah canopy
Suffering from bad attitude
and seasonal psychosis
The human race sprints
No finish line required
and Everyone wins gold
Music blaring
Bikini tops daring
Exposed guts not caring
Rooftop gogo dancer staring
At me
Ok, maybe that's vice versa
Its a poolside,...

Sung to the hymn of “The yellow rose of Texas”


I was cursing down the road
 tired and all a lone
just a passing through ole` Oklahome

So I shut down and pulled in-
to this old run down...

Dear granny, we shall always remember you each day;
	You’ve fostered us, and so much of you each can say –
	If but life was a crystal, we’d seen through it this dreadful fate,
	And learnt to espouse...

Bill O Reilly was campaigning
to free Bradley Manning

I've been me ,
A meepy child accused of crafts .
Tangled  in my sleep , 
For waisting time ,
Loved the errors at cloud nine .
And still I made it with no trial.

At grandma's we played with 
mud
Ate sweets that gave us cavities
And my cousins were my best 
buddies
Granny would make pap, white 
and soft
Served with wors
(sausages) that made everyone's 
mouth water, even mum.

We'd gather around a...

Terrible dreams three days running, today's was an unbearable doozy. I woke up in a hotel room and had lost Tsuki and Yukiko. I had to get dressed and go out in the world searching...

I sit awake listening to you snore
It’s a scene I’ve witnessed many times before
I’m used to it so I just ignore
After all these years you still deny this flaw

In the moonlight your face looks blue

All through the year it's been coming
the months, weeks and days countdown
then in that final month of the year
all the pressure makes one frown

It's the fastest paced month by far
everything's a gogo in December
all pointing...

It’s like waiting for God,
oh so much. Yet why,
oh why so long?
Clocks move so slowly as I watch,
yes, watch my wrist, too, oh so long,
so long the clock, the watch,
the clock, the watch.

Yet strangely, irritably,

I Read someone's words
All Agreements in tow
They made my heart cry
My Minds start to bleed
No one to follow
No one to lead
The words began to spread
By land, sea and air
Every known creature
Far and wide
Above and below
Wet...

“SILENT ONE” – inspired poem
I
Musicians unite for a cause, no cause celebre
But small nursing homes not on maps, or Frail Care facilities -
Magically coaxing ancient responses and memories, 
Ancient civilizations, loves village by village, bequeathing...
