Can you hear them in the corridors
slamming doors and making people jump?

I put in the earphones
but
can't hear myself think
weird?
not me,
the line, 'can't hear myself think'

it's an old saying which goes without saying but I said it anyway,
back in the day, Mum used to say that when we were playing, our playing usually ended in fighting which is what brothers did back then,

and now being sidetracked into a memory
I've forgotten what I was going to write,
how's your Thursday going?

Now the Water Flows so Effortlessly,
Like a Natural Spring.
My Eyes Become Wells as My Cheeks Turn to Streams, Slowly Drifting You Out of My Conscience.

The Disturbing Irony Tests My Temper That I Want Comfort From the One Who Hurt Me.

Then I Understood.

The most Loving Act She Could do, Was Letting Me Go. Hoping I Find Comfort in Myself.
In a thousand years time
I would sail down the Rhine
if it was still there,
something tells me that it
won't be

there'll be
no ocean
no sea
and
no fish for tea,

in a thousand years time
we'll have lots of sand
and
sod all else.
Sneezing not wheezing,
it's a breeze in the dark.

****
wrong answer
please redial.

what the nook and cranny?

sometimes I go funny when the
connections short circuit,
the doctor says,
that I'm a misfit,
She says
I'm perfect
the way that I am.
I was thinking about living abroad, and then I got bored with that thought, so I bought a bottle of *** punch on a hunch, scrunched down on the sofa, played my lotto, had a few drinks, got blotto, and then thought to myself,
"What about living abroad?"

some things go in circles
some in a square,
some never think nowt
because some do not dare.
Time is catching up on me
let's wait and see,
but I let it drop
the bubble pops
and I'm behind the times.

Feeling crushed
rushed
pushed into a corner?
take it easy
if you find me
get behind me
we'll chase the blues away.

There's a lot of Wednesday still to come
and I'm already feeling numb,
but
I'm ready to get out there and
toil away
Wednesday's not beat me yet.
