Hey! look
there are the strings
just dangle and pull them
that's simple enough

what do you mean
the puppet is not moving
what do you mean you're pulling and pulling
and the puppet is not working

look any fool
can pull strings
you must be super stupid
if you can't work a puppet

what do you mean doubts
what's doubtful about working a puppet
the only doubt here
is if you have any brains at all

next thing
you'd probably tell me
the puppet is mocking you
yeah! go on pull the other leg
its got bells on it

God save me
some people are just born morons
there there don't cry
just keep on jerking on the strings
you're a **** anyway  
bla haha haha

the ethereal girl
every night i douse
my essence and body
in lavender oil
to try and help calm
my adhd
just enough so
i can fall asleep,
and the melatonin
helps keep me asleep

I seem to forget nowadays,
I am afraid,
I don't want to lose my sweet memories,
And not recognise my children.

No power in the 'verse
can stop her,
her name is a channel
in all directions,
it's just an object,
it doesn't mean what you think.

"Two-by-two, hands of blue."

Simon says safe passage
is such a slender thread,
a watered-down exchange,
it streams into
the substance of things:
objects in space.

"Two-by-two, hands of blue."

A life of Serenity,
it’s not applicable…
cold and naked,
dipping her feet
into a pond of impossibilities
—what she sees is seldom what she gets.

"Two-by-two, hands of blue."

Before the writing,
collecting memories
silent endowments
pages without lines

Before the writing,
I traveled a dreamer
imagining truant
what tomorrow defines

Before the writing,
the words clouded over
passing in bunches
like birds on the wing

Before the writing,
the wind was my compass
direction e’er changing
intention to sing

Before the writing,
my spirit a bachelor
no phrases to husband
no verses to wed

Before the writing,
immersed in tomorrow
my freedom untethered
—to go where it led

(Dreamsleep: December, 2021)
