We were...

I'd finished work at ten PM and got in my car
It was dark as I drove home and in the sky noticed a star
Could be a planet I thought, as I drove along the forest...

Agostino Tassi

(The Accused now gives evidence,
coming fresh from the vigil torture,
which involves sleep deprivation.
His arrogant, careless manner
doesn't win him any friends.)


I think the Court will understand
if I’m a little under par.
The vigil thing!  I...

One person, homeless, in soiled clothes
stands at intersection of two roads, stares continuously towards the road 
where palatial houses with beautiful flowered gardens are lined up.

Mesmerized imagines himself inside those bungalows
servants in queues, to serve...

Put your toe inside 
my mouth, I wanna 
feel you squirm, 
there're lessons to 
be taught tonight, I 
feel you're gonna 
learn,

to let yourself be 
serviced in the 
many ways that 
come, I love bare...

Woozy the witch fuelled up her chrome studded besom 

Which was parked in the garage at the Cromlech at noon

She polished dusted and oiled the vintage broom’s motor

And applied magic spittle to fix butterfly wings...

Spent all day cleaning up my car for a trip to Broken Hill.
Serviced, oiled and greased. The petrol tank is filled.
Left Adelaide for the open road; sun setting in the west.
An orange sky slowly dies;...

When at last you have become aware deep down yourself
and of the people whom require at last some mental health
be serviced, come to services
and you have at least one personality disorder
characterized by abnormal
and maladaptive inner...

Paper Targets
You shoot at people as if they were paper targets
Not caring who you kill, maim or injure
Your outrage has been well planned
Not a single bit went wrong
You serviced your guns
Collected hundreds of bullets
Dressed the...

The mechanical components, the valve that pumps my heart 
The reactive nerve endings that serve a sensory stimulus 
The tear ducts that latently only lend lubrication 
The silly little practical necessary body bits, pieces and...

Wounds Into Scars

It takes not a wise man to know
What we resist
Will persist

So goes the healing...

Crack open an eye on Saturday morn,
and reach out to give him a cuddle.
To find he's been up since break of dawn,
and crouched in a black oily puddle.
Began with the Polo, a fast one I...

Spring in all its splendor has arrived - what a pleasant relief!
The grass has greened and the trees have begun to leaf!
Robins have returned and cheerily serenade me at the break of dawn.
Alas, those pesky...

You know death dun scare me nun
Unknown things not known about
Invisible forces not attainable
Don't believe in ropes but yet and still they did hang us
Must forgive them ALWAYS them folks who use to and still...

Spring was ushered in the other day by a glorious, warmin' sun!
The robins seemed elated, but for me another cycle had begun.
Just days ago the lawn was brown, now it's turnin' green.
Alas, I must begin...

Midnight rays to all, no selection from the moon
brief hospitality served by this erotic tycoon.

Emotion bargained without a glimpse of a soul
the comfort is so bare for the physical act to roll.

A fishing net generally...

SANTA’S CHRISTMAS EVE

‘Twas the night before Christmas and Santa was low.
He could barely raise a feeble ‘HO HO!’
He sat and he shivered from head to toe,
As he thought of that ride through the ice and...

Inside the fierce beast, beats the heart of a king
No challengers come forth to contest his throne

Leisurely days spent dreaming of his pride
Ingesting meat taken down by his females
Knowing his reign ends when age betrays
Enjoying...

Ten men in all
They formed his crew
Some were short
And some were tall

Half were on the left
Half on the right
Working together
They were tight

Padded for protection 
Helmeted for safety
Robed in commonness 
They were shielded to win

Two of...

Big red buckets and yellow elephants
Standing on mice wearing pink flared pants
Oil filled puddles of many rainbow hews
And crocodile upholstered chapel pews

Armies of platform shoe wearing dogs
Wearing wigs made from living frogs
Thick carpets made of...

Sweet Lies

I listen to everything you say. 
“I love you.” 
You are important.
Do you know that? 

Did you know that when you looked away?
Did you forget?

Too late to remember, 
so you just let me believe…

THE SECRET'S OUT 
 
The Mullumbimby blokes new bull 
Was looking kind of poor. 
He shunned Ray's Jersey milking cows 
And serviced them no more. 
 
To buy this so-called champion 
Poor Ray had saved...
