We are trying too
but
that doesn't get through
to you,

Mozart continues composing.

I have my clothes in the dryer
which are taking some time
so I try a
higher setting,
is
that getting through?

Wednesday evening
I'm thinking of leaving
it soon,
remembering
that the Moon and I
are old friends.

Almost vegetative
hoping something will give
wondering how I will live
almost vegetative.

The mind
has a mind of its own
which smuggles itself in
under the cover of darkness,

but there are
flashes of light
tunnels that end
bridges to build
friendships to tend

and so
we go
on.

Seen the movie
got the shirt
and
read the book
by Kurt Vonnegut.

I've read lots of books
escaped into
lascivious looks
by beautiful females
and to be honest
by males too.

Been wooed chapter and verse
the curse of the old
the cure for the young.

Saw Ben Gunn
heard him tell of Billy Bones
chatted **** with
Davy Jones
and
all in the reading
leading me to a merry dance.

I used to watch people but now I watch walls, walls are solid and walls seldom move,
walls don't give you funny looks and walls don't give two flying ***** about who you are.

I count bricks too which is another one of the tricks I do.

Peculiar?
maybe I'm just regular when I should have been a medium,
but I got sick of seeing ghosts so regular I am.

Sunday,
said it before and I'll say it again, Sunday is the same as any other day and if people want to get down on their knees to pray so be it.

I might stay in tonight, I said to myself because I know that I will stay in tonight which gives me the illusion that I could have gone out, I'm getting too old for this malarkey and believe me malarkey was my middle name in the olden days,

just juddering now and somehow still doing.

No one's fault it is Baltic outside
just the weather and the Winter
enough to make your blood freeze
and your bones splinter
but no one to blame
no one to scream at

disappointed that you can't point a finger?
you
may be entitled to compensation.
