The Immaculate Conception
is a trick of deception because
all were conceived incubated
gestated and delivered (albiet
prematurely by a caesarian)
just in time for 2021 as people
were loosing their 2020 vision.

Added to that being Lockdown
Winter and a general depression
of the manipulated masses who
have been made to succumb and
will therefore be queueing with
up rolled sleeves begging to be
saved by BIG PHARMA who is
watching them at all times via
the anode and cathode ray tubes
which 99.99% of households have
therefore the opiation is complete.

Just inherited the family
home in County Cork.

Not exactly where I want
to be.

But, it is ok, though the
roof is a little dodgy.

I found the manhole on
the ceiling.

"Never look a gift
house in the attic".

If some poems were bridges,
let us assume suspension, just
as an example, the safety factor
of 9 (which is the code for such)
would need to be increased.

By increasing the safety factor,
the bridge would need to be made
stronger and heavier, thus defeating
the factor as the supports would be
under too much pressure due to length.

Since the collapse of the Bridge in Genoa,
I am conscious of these structures even as
I pass under them. Poems can be just as
daunting, especially long winded ones which
I never read and I never write due to attention span.

When time is killed,
the witness is always
    a prime suspect.

It was the first time I ever
wrote on a looking glass.

For a while, the title evaded
me, "Mirrored" seemed obvious.

But when I finished shaving,
it seemed as though, I, was 2!

The gloom of todays cloud has
cast a shadow on my resolve.

There is an autumnal light, but
yet without its vibrant colours.

The wind is playing a monotone
wail against the windows.

Hence, I find myself in a strange
place between thought and being.

Am I sensing a premonition perhaps,
or is this merely a global conditioning.

A ray of light has just managed to
escape the cumulus of captivity.

One should never feel blue
unless the sky has fallen on us.

Johnny SAAB, I want
you to Primus me
something, IKEA?

When you go for
your Scania, if they
discover that your
Volvo is an evolving
*****, act Nobel,
don’t just say Velux
to the lot of ye, as
you are likely to do!

Avail of the opportunity,
and ask them politely if
they’d remove your Thule,
and your ABBA’*** *****
as they are at it, but for ****
sake don’t call them turnips,
they are known as SWEDES!

In Bread We Crust, and not
Brioche, contrary to what
Marie Antoinette has been
attributed as saying from
the balcony of her palatial
home at Versailles to the
marauding peasant hordes.

At this time of year one
can see the ingredients
of bread by just looking
over the hedgerows into
the fields where wheat
in endless rows make
accommodations for the
sun by swaying to and
fro enabling each ear to
hear the winds whisper.

I hear voices in my mind.

                NO

  it is not schizophrenia,

   the committee in my

    head have manners

   and never contradict

     or intervene when

    I'm being talking to.

.          Au Revoir


   He wished me well

       a bon voyage

     sainte et chance


      and added that

       it was merited


    he noted sadness

shrouded in my eyes

    
though I'd yet to blink

   the sap of sorrow

The sky is a colander
perforated with holes

of differing sizes which
permit light and rain
to pass through.

Darkness is caused
by the blockages.

During the night, while
we are sleeping, it is

rotated three hundred
and sixty degrees.

By morning, all of the
sediment has been

displaced thus allowing
day to be slowly sieved

in with a bit yeast and this
is what causes the sun to rise.

             I want to give you a pause

           of my mind, the indecision bit

             that leaves a space vacant

               for confusion, that silent

             contemplation, as thought

               passes through process

            filters that have a different

                   diameter to yours.


           I want to give you a pause

           of my mind because often

          I’m overwhelmed and prone

          to despair at my inability to

           unlearn what nobody has

            taught me and therefore

              they are incapable of

               ever understanding.


          I want to give you a pause

           of my mind because the

          sprockets of my cognitive

          are not functioning in the

           same sequence as your

           chain which is why I try

            so often to freewheel,

        yet, you insist on pedalling.


        I want to give you a pause

        of my mind as I contradict

           Paul Cezane who said

       that there were no straight

       lines in nature but I’m both

      a lateral and vertical thinker.

   What about suspended spiders?


         I want to give you a pause

       of my mind and if you are so

   considerate not to park in areas

     allocated for the disabled then

         you have seen a sign and

      empathise with their affliction.

    So, now that you have read the

  poem here is the promised pause.

I don’t feel any different
to myself in the mirror yet
everyone else seems to
think so, but perception is
deception and anyway one
has to ask which version
of them is visible to me
especially when considering
that they are adept at playing
hide and seek, because they
have no idea what it’s like, to
be lost, for a lifetime, in a maze!

We are not as dumb as

Rabbits who sit in the

Centre of the road and

Get dazzled by lights.


But then again we are

Not as smart as we’d

Like to think we are.


Because even though

We are nocturnal like

The rabbits, we have

For some reason or

Other permitted these

Humans to domesticate

Us, lock us up at night.


They make us **** in a

Sand box that they call

Kitty litter which stinks

After days of ***** that

Only gets cleaned out

When it begins to annoy

Them. Dogs are smarter.


They won’t buy into that

Indoctrination, they will

Do a dump on the carpet

If they are not the out for

A lovely walk in the park.


I wish I was a ca-nine

Even if I only had 1 life !

What would you say if I sent word
that you had inherited a Million $ ?

Or if Fedex dropped off an Aboriginal
Boomerang at your desk with an RSVP ?

Or if I employed a singing courier who
sang the Elvis song " Return to Sender ".

I bet you would not be out of the office
until Tuesday as has been the case of late!

So you know, I'm the pregnant woman
with the wig and dark glasses waiting.

But guess what, you ****** bag, your the
father and the MRI Scan is showing Triplets !

It's Monday, you are premature by a day,
just like that ******* rhythm ******, Not!

In the wood of words
deciduous letters fall
off trees just as pieces
of scrabble and like a
jig-saw puzzle I put
them together to form
a poem or prose and
If there are not enough,
then I compose a Haiku
with a seasonal reference
In seventeen syllables.

Leaves are leaves because
they have the ability in
The Fall to part company
with trees, pages are also
leaves, of books, but because
they have been given extremely
long sentences, they are rarely
offered parole unless someone
verbalises the entire content,
beginning to end, eloquently.

Leaves are taking on the
hue of her lips, just now,

Kissed by Autumn.

Were I the wind, I'd blow
the scarves of Bohemia

Round and round
like the arms of a

Thousand lovers
and embrace till Spring.

In the currency of leaves,
servile trees, pay tithes and
bow to the winds of eviction.

Spent charcoal drowns in
red dome crematoriums.

Solar lamps can't find
their own shadows.

Clothes pegs stand
in redundant rows.

Avity is not a word

up as a precursor to

Bravity : Adjective.

who have just felt the gravity
of their decision to BR an Exit.

There was a lady at the milk
bar in Mallow Mart who's nose

of hot milk so as not to be the
