I forgot to bring my
aide memoire
so I'll tattoo  your messages
onto my skin

please be brief.

You were relaxing
until the count came in
and now you're screaming.

Hand in the jar and you fumble
the cookies crumble
and so you tumble
but will you rise?

(This work never ends
not even for weekends)

that was a bit random
for a man on
a mission,
but at the moment  
it's too dark to see
if it's all good or just a
bag of tricks.

Do dovetail joints
use more papers
and
do they last as long
as a ****?

You don't have to answer
I'm not really fussed
just
asking for a friend
who's as thick as two
short planks.

I accidentally missed breakfast

Because I was much too slow to wake

Then I accidentally missed lunch

Because there was time I didn't want to waste

So I will sit hoping dinner will be large

Because my hunger is enough to devour even

My very own plate but until then

I shall sit and wait

A slip,
loosening your grip
and you become
one
with the Sun and the stars
as you pirouette
through a million quasars
making your way
to the core.

they build bridges so you can jump off them and some men do.
Some people burn them, a neat trick when they're made from granite or concrete,

This has nothing to do with Friday.
That is the bridge we haven't come to,
and a voice from the back shouts,
"Are you sure?"
and I say
I'll cross that question when I come to it.

It must be time for coffee
She said,
looking at me

Work is becoming wearisome and then some,

these old bones creak like rusted door hinges,

the mind is willing for so many things but it appears that willingness only brings less of what your mind wills for and I think that's known as Sod's Law.

I can live with it
She
patches me up
when necessary.
