been writing for a few years now.it suddenly occurred to me..i was a south paw as a child and they tried to make me write with my right but i can´t..left handed was a sure sign of the devil..but with the advent of the screen i thought i would give it a g
cyril does this thing
in a force ten gail
he stays still..
he is christ
he is beautiful
he is me or how i
would be..once, i doubted
perfection but no-happily
to be proved wrong..
i begrudge him not
a few scraps and his annoying titter
and his endless
desire for more and more..
he survives..and so i play
my harmonica..

a guitar teacher is rather quaint
in this day of ai and bits
and what not..
she says, it is making us insane
be the finnish of us
this technological *****
the lead in our wine..but,
where would we be without
the tube-?
and the sounds that nutured us
and we loved so dearly
and thought
we would never hear again..
that is true..
as we grew..

a war once begun can be difficult
to end
it seems to aquire a life of it´s own
this applies to personel relationships
as well as the world scene
it goes round
mutual suspicion and confusion
remember..!
the past is unforgiving..
in the present moment there
is the old pain and hurt..
it is dull
uncontollable-intractable
we would rather die than concede
a single line..
there is fear..
principle-code of behavior-
i never said that-of course
we know i did-but or..
pull the other one..
artistic license..guitar lessons!
first one free..
i just go with the vibe..
that is life..

what is capitalism?
is wading through croc.
infested waters
(for their skin)-while, in
the next village there is a roaring trade
in
prosthetic limb..a bit cynical
lily..she says,she believes in
the teachings of christ..
cyril the seagull cries for more
we must all eat then
this is the problem..
one day food will be passe
procreation no more
let the last turn off the light..

lily, do you want to hear a joke?
(does she care?
yes-she does..)..
if capitalism is the exploitation of man
by man,then,socialism is exactly the reverse..
i got one-
we should return to the radical centre..
my centre is quite radical
it is the extremities that bother us?
that is where subsides the soul..or
resides-live poetry folks..
if,you want to know someone-if..
look to their hands..yes,it is all there..
and their nose..
of course..
ii
and their voice..
she wiggles her toes-
what about them..?
too many questions
last one-
what is socialism..

i mean no comment-no-one
says nothing (and go hang the double
negative..)
but there is only one thing worse
than being noticed and that is not
being noticed..
you may cry over the bad notice
and ignore the rest but i enjoy
writing..
and is there anything worse more
complacent-a thumb to **** upon
while you have a ***

i
nobleza-gerald brenan
respected author of south from
granada-says-they(the iberians or ligurians
and of all mediterraneans)-are
a family of spoiled children
who so many years quarrel
and break up the toys in the nursery..
they have a certain aristocratic quality
fortified by an oriental stoicism
this explains a lot,lily..?
ii
life would be boring, she says, if
we were all the same..ah,when children
what our parents do to us
the world will go on to do to us,
in spades..
but not always..

i hear music in my dreams
i don´t know what this means,lily?
it is usually average
but i wake happy and sing something
and consider revenge..
nothing is as it seems
and one fight leads to another
consume some mystical beverage
and play the guitar
i read today of the splendour of visigoth
architecture and gather courage
for the light hours..

i live in spain now
miriam as you know
in an andalucian village
(with it´s ubiquitous castle..)
i only meant to stay a week
but have been here 26 years
or so-such is life..
with my canadian wife
though not married i
think of us so..
(it is in the mind?)
a reformed alcoholic for 32 years-
the mornings are glorious
i work at my music and read..
the swallows have returned
and fly just above our heads..
i have changed so much
my own mother did nt recognise me-
literally-the change has been so gradual,
of course..
ii
so, i think back to the angel
for example-before and after
o i was miserable..
the word lost is inescapable
in fact, non-existant might be
more accurate..
the thatcher years..though through her
i felt hate..and travelled..so that was alright
there is a future..

my old lady (and i mean old
with polyglot wrinkles
not in her denims on the
rear of a hog..)found your biography
and brought it home to me
i had no idea who you were
but on page 173 or so
back came your memory..?!
they we were in the angel!?
guns and roses on the dukey..
the bridge odd angle
what do you want to be..?
i wanted to be a musician
and through the decades
i have had this dream
discovering in it
me..you went on to be
world famous..i like to see you
on talk shows..you are so charming
and funny..
how miserable i remember we..
though..
the grey winter skies-a one way
so the years ago..
