It’s summer, hurry up. Let’s not waste a minute. Where’s the sunscreen, where’s the party, who’s knutching who? The sky was crowded with bright, balloon stratocumulus clouds, hanging mountain-like in the air. How can something that big just float in the sky? Either the Greek gods are holding them up, or they defy reason. So, we’re in Athens,...

TIC Competitive repetitive compulsive movement sound Nervously unknown to me I rebound TACK Like a ship I sail I change my course the boat's head through the wind TOE A digit of the foot just three phalanx bones honed Gridded nine square I am A seeker alternating turn complete row Is it jest or just a game, games Diagonal Noughts and crosses Diagonal horizontal Lethargic I take the...

You reach down And place your hand in your pocket And feel last year’s railway ticket Knowing you are going nowhere No ticket to ride the glass in the living room window murky or the world outside just dirty as you look for anyone who may smile friend or foe a Jehovah witness One who’s lost in the wilderness with no doors to knock is...

Tic-Tac-Toe
TIC-TAC-toe, TIC-TAC-toe, And we are at war with ourselves. We are like little, scary dwarfs We sit, all the best in ourselves is destroyed. TIC-TAC-toe, TIC-TAC-toe, And they draw crosses on our backs. Our sins are sometimes so great, That we are walking a mile atonement. TIC-TAC-toe, TIC-TAC-toe We shed blood reluctantly. We are innocent of being traitors And we perish, flying into the abyss. TIC-TAC-toe, TIC-TAC-toe We...
