62/M/SPAIN 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..

cyril does this thing
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 guitar teacher..
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..

a war..
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..

what is capitalism?
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..

lily,
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 hear music in my dreams
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..
