Tywinn was a miniature Schnauzer

But he barked at the gate

So she drowned him instead like a louser

Not to perch, scratch
Brood or hatch, but to
Get laid by a rooster &

I could be at Dove Cottage,
a clay cabin on Innisfree or
in the Provence of Pagnol,
life in my van is the same.

Camus declared that there is
no creativity without secrecy,
his grave at Lourmarin in the
Vaucluse is testimony to that.

Hemingway said that Paris
was a moveable feast, and
he would know, because the
demons dined with him also.

Similar to Virginia Wolfe and
Sylvia Plath, but we can’t all

So you need to ask yourself,

We went barefooted to

to go in between our toes.

Later on in life in London
it was scars and scrapes
from shovels and picks &
the Friday night fights and
drunk til Monday morning.

Unlike the gigantic mountains

Kahlil Gibran’s “Fear” shivers

where ships are unable to exit.

There are no off-ramps, nor, any

to Poseidon, and his perimeters.
But, some escape, by evaporation!

I am a 74 year old homeless Irishman, I have hypothyroid cortisol issue, heart failure and generally, failing health. Regarding the immigrants (and rants) I have no opposition to people of any race creed or culture settling here. If the Irish are prepared to permit
The English into the country after 800 years of subjugation, humiliation, deportation, excommunication and famine, then they should not be anti Blacks Indians or Arabs. Let us be honest, the Irish took on all of Britains inherited hatreds, even of Russia.
We are a tea drinking nation that insists of chips at Indian and Chinese restaurants. Ireland is a narrow minded nation, in bred and
insular. Yesterday I was at the Patricks Day Parade in Ballincollig Cork and saw Black Children with Shamrock, wonderful, I say.

Brain Cogs

When someone refers to
brain cogs turning it hails
from the Descartes quote
of 1650 Cogito Ergo Sum.

Brain Fogs

This term came much later
from the English physician
called James Tunstall 1850
Cogito Ergo Sum ****** up.

from an Irish philosopher

wind near the motorway
and refuse trucks in town.

Find a place to shave and

to busk for fuel and food
somewhere to park out of

And Winter, all changes dark

Mornings cold as a dogs nose,
stiff with the rheumathism of

Ireland was/is the only
white nation in history
to be colonised & they
imposed their language.

But we took all of their
racism, prejudices and
dislikes without forcing.

This is why we despise
Blacks Russians Arabs
Chinese & Indians, but
we love the P.O.M frites.

We have the audacity to
demean the culture and
cuisine of the latter two
by insisting (as our past
masters do) on portions
of chips with curry & rice.

What a disgusting insult
how embarrassing it is too.
