Don’t cry, Woolf.

But that would be
easy for me to say.

I’m not feeling Plath.

Icarus left an S.A.E.
but no suicide note!

Bergerac’s nose, resemble la rose
Et Pinocchio’s, la baguette
Mais Depardieu’s et comme Les blues
Ou un croissant, fait par Babette

Don’t fly to Isreal
unsafe airspace
level 3 certification.

Cautious Canada
Geese going via
Suez Canal SOS.

M’Aidez  x  three.
Rhine Air to stop
All flights it’s real.

Pass this on,
Tell Aviv and
Everyone else!!

In the land of the free
and home of the three
monkeys, speech has a
very costly price tag as
there is a tax on echoes.

Je pense, donc, je parle.

There is never sufficient
saliva in one’s mouth to
swallow un-masticated
words and as we’re not
of a suborder ruminant
cud chewing species it
is natural to vocalise that
of which we are thinking.

         Talk is chirp.

  For Mahmoud Khalil

A tailoring term that
sounded like magic
when first coined.

A stitch in time saves
nine is a thing of the
past, chuck & buy new.

It’s a bit like to whom
do we go to with our
scarred minds?

Massage in a bottle, a
quick fix two *** mix
anti depressants.

But all ill health comes
from the intestine so its
my vagus nerve, doctor!!
