We love to hear an echo, resounding and abounding, reverberating our words off walls and harbingers, replaying and soothsaying our views and opinions. We seek the places and spaces, and company within earshot of what we want to hear, filtered in subtle ways to sound like something new and fresh repeated over and over again, rejigged and re-rigged. 'Coo-ee', 'coo-ee' we cry! Is...

I've traipsed down a cobble of your path. If you're ever lost, forgotten or misstep I'll surely spruce up a room for you. It'll be on the mundane -humble side but safe-warm and welcoming like in a child's sunlit dream. I can cloak the well-worn floor with a pattern of your choice. There'll be no rent (of judgement). Only a gray shoulder to...

The corner video store With the neon lights, Was the place to be On Friday nights ... Only black VHS tapes In clear, plastic cases, Lined the 'HORROR' sections Of my favorite places From left to right ... Up and down the walls, There were bloody fangs ... And killer dolls Aliens and dinosaurs Monsters on the prowl, Giant sharks terrorize Wild, werewolves howl Next to white masked men Hungry...

the keys stick when I type, the ink smudges on cheap paper, there’s an old man in the corner laughing through his dentures at my words. he knows, I know— it’s all garbage, all of it. writing the same worn-out lines, spinning circles around rent checks that will barely clear. this morning, the phone rang, and I thought it was hope— turned out to be another rejection letter...

Songs from a life, sounds like the blues, microwave fries, pot noodle, stews, dead on two legs, only half-nine, saying yes, to the overtime, this months rent and the kids' new shoes. Paying forward, paying your dues, when there isn't much left to lose, longing for friends, weekends and wine, songs from a life. Cut price make up covers the bruise, somewhere hard cash, won't...

Couldn't pay my rent So I bought a tent Living off the land Never a helping hand Nothing new Nothing true Still missing you The life I couldn't face So bowed out in disgrace Didn't care who won this race Sitting under a tree The price of living free Under a sky so blue Nothing much to do Sit back and write Enjoying the sun light Lost isn't a bad...

Rent's four times more than just last year; for a single room that's cold, austere. Winter winds through vast gaps do blow, black mold upon the walls does grow. It's for my baby's health, I fear. I don't know how I got to here; the father daily drunk on beer. To make the landlord's profits grow, rent's four times more. Sold by some fancy...

In Beamish Street, collecting the rent, Was how my Tuesday mornings were spent. An arduous task at the best of times. Nell McFee, hubby in jail for various crimes. Sobbing to me as she had no rent to pay, Offering to make it up to me in some other way. With Billy Jones, I knew I would be in for a...

When devouring a hot chicken pie An advertised flat caught my eye, I would hazard a guess Judging from its address That the asking price wasn’t too high. I collapsed in a state of deep gloom When the landlord denied me that room, He said “Nothing’s...

I Justice from heaven: low threshhold Evidence on earth, different! Spirit witnesses against unbelievers Unless Jesus is the one we KNOW Since the Cross made Pure Lamb pay Such a huge price (Heaven's credit card) Allows payment for unlimited number Value the realtionship (with cardholder) Except U enjoy relations with Him, U can't Share in the justice he bought; slaves he freed NOTE: the first...
