----Tell Tales---
Ryan O'Leary Sep 2024
Subsidence Control
   (engineers report)

As an ex grave digger
but more recently an
under-pinner, it is my
expert opinion that all
made up ground is in
a permanent state of
instability & anything
constructed thereon
will eventually reveal
fault fissures and fail.

Venice, an exception,
but due to the fact of
oak piles in alluvial silt.

Israel does not have
such earthly anchors,
therefore it is and will
always be prone to the
seismic shocks from its
illegal land occupation
granted by an empire
that since disappeared,
good riddance to them.

Ryan O'Leary Sep 2024
.     If I was a tree in a forest
      where all that was different
      were seasons and I being a
      deciduous felt shame.

      Empty crows nests is all I
      would have to show for my
      entire years work as all my
      leaves scattered in the wind.

      The evergreens are so up
      themselves and would you
      look at their roots, set in the
      exact same soil as ourselves.

      Those pines give me the pip
      standing there prim and proper
      not a branch astray, what a
      homogeneous bunch of jerks.

      One day they too will get their
      comeuppance and be brought
      down to earth like everyone else,
      the Stihl wind can blow at anytime.

Whilst pointing the

And the world is
Looking on at the
New season of yet
Another installment
Of Fratricide which
Is produced with the
Pop Up Shop theme
Candid Camera style
But not who dunnit
More, where next and
This is why it is such
A successful series
According to In God
We trust studios and
Audience research.
Rehearsals for upcoming
Shows are on going
It is now in the Guinness

Longest running show on

       separated by a horizontal
       equator, rather a vertical.
       As in the mind a dark and

If one were to strike while
    the iron was hot, then

Indecision would not leave a
space vacant for confusion

But as we have been taught
     to look before we leap

Yet never look a gift horse
           in the mouth

  We invariably fall victims
       of choice spoilage

   Which brings me to the
   solution of this dilemma

      When the road forks
     and there’s no pointer

  Choose one, pair it to the
one from whence you came

   Then ask yourself, do I
    really want to go back?

Words are woods, I go

   Every leaf, a letter, part
   of a deciduous anagram

   Bird songs are echoes
   in coded metaphors

   Clouds are blank
   sky pages, to be writ

   Fungi and pine cones
   are punctuation marks

   Tree trunks are in rows
   and rows of poetic prose

   Even if lost, I always find my
   way out, of the Black Forest.

     In A.A. it is rock bottom,
     meaning as far down as
      one can go, or low as a
snakes belly, the description
     that is occasionally used.

      One might use flounder,
     or some other ocean floor
        dweller to explain the
           depths of darkness
        minds can descend to.

        Not everyone gets to
       experience the despair
     of reaching their final set,
  or of sinking psychologically.

      and eventually manage
      to resurface, will always

------Ryan's Law------
Ryan O'Leary Sep 2024
.     I have made a discovery
      which, if it was scientific
      I would be hailed genius.
      Its classification of theory
      hypothesis or law would
      be without a doubt, a law.

      The population of flies is
      in ratio to that of birds, but
      measuring the former by
      the absence of the latter
      is mathematically not an
      équation that’s solvable.

      Area x velocity x distance
      = the sum of flies that hit
      a windscreen at a given
      time of day with similar
      sunshine & temperatures
      during same summer month.

      Sweden has less birds than
      other Scandinavian countries,
      those being Denmark Norway
      and Finland and that despite
      70% of the land forested and
      devoid of pest/herb/fungicides.

trying to analyze my findings to
discover the reason for this very

In the cycle of violence
Benjamin Netanyahu is
struggling in the uphill
trials against Hamas,
who have not once in
the entire tournament
worn the yellow jersey.

The Israeli pèleton has
not performed as well
as expected, especially
after Hamas surprised
everyone on October 8
with an ingenious tactic
which left the opponents
in total disarray, besides,
exposing their weakness.

The spectators applauded
as never before seen when
the Sous Chiens showed
their teeth and as the final
stage approaches, crowds
line the route all the way
to the Arc de Triumphe
chanting ‘’ from the river
they will see Bateau Mouche,
please wave to me ‘’ it’s in
