old bloke in the pub says
he’s drunk on the unfulfilled hopes
of his youth
but in truth it’s the scotch
You always count on her
so why not
make her a necklace from the
beads on an abacus
and make it official.
A kiss on the lips
a gun on your hips
who's in control?

She says
you do what I say.

collateral
yeah
there's always damage
and yet
we manage to survive.

I'm surviving until you *******
or until you're *******
but
I'm an awkward cuss.
After some serious thought
I have decided that work
gets a nought out of ten.

jeez
even I got more than that on the Richter scale.
She lived her life like this-since she was fourteen,
Could never tell reality from her daydreams
Until she met disappointment,
that's a good tell,
This isn't wonderland Alice-
its your personal hell
And you can blame bad luck, **** cards, the wrong genes,
At the end of the day
these are YOUR seams.
This is real life,
stitches need upkeep
yet you're so surprised
its not like in your sleep-
where you're adventurous,
mouthy, and tall
Not this anxious ball of anger,
tremendously scared to fall.
Fear is ever controlling when you let ot grow past the make believe
I have a hunch
said Quasimodo.

Judy
because Judy knew me
and Punch
was not best pleased
but
seaside outside
and the show's on the beach

I built my sand castle
counted every grain
now
the tide is coming in
I'll have to build it again.

Anyway
I have things to do
not sure what they are
but definitely things
and
yet again
I am scheduled to work
not until later though.
Wishing it would take longer to get ready for work
but wishing won't make that so,

I know that
you know that
time to close the door on the flat
must
remember the keys
turn off the gas
double check the lights are off
then I'll be off

some say I already am

*******.

have a great Saturday kidz, play nicely.
