...and then she said that she liked girls,
oh
just like me then,
and I don't like men
again just like me

we were hitting it off
but I think that I'd bitten off
more than I could chew,

she said, but Bro'
I like you though
and
I liked her

we shared lunch
and that's all.

President Turnip
approaches the onion
office

orange
in hand.

Hide but not seek
look
and don't peek,
some things we put away
and when that rainy day comes
we bring out the umbrella.

They give affirmations
have high expectations
and wait..

..and wait.

What went before them becomes a talking point on some forum where crusty academics dissect limitations.

I'm sitting in Suburbanville cutting pictures from magazines to stick in a scrapbook and thinking, I wish you were here.

Sunday
and still working away
no praying today
no new lamps for old
just a constant cold.

She tells me
that dreams can come true
but
only before midday on Sunday
and that
makes it all worthwhile.

Nighttime
or
Nightmare?

pictures
or
you weren't even there.

In a luxurious setting
getting the best
and a duckdown duvet
easing my rest
but
not satisfied

this is where the pied piper comes in
fluting his tunes
polluting the airs
more fukin nightmares

what can one do against a zoo of monsters  but feed them, pretend that you need them and then discard them.

Last seen

Saturday
on the lam.

Head it off at the ravine

Back to the land of one hand doesn't know what the other hand is doing, nothing changes except change and that change is being short-changed by the money men down in the city.

The Dollar and Sterling
when we need a
Grace Darling to light us the way.

Robbing Peter to pay Paul
puts food on the table
but tarnishes the soul

note: it could tarnish Saul too.

For those who didn't make it
take it from me
making it isn't the be-all and
end all
it only feels like it.
