i sometimes watch a cooking show and feed myself, finding old italians very funny with everything simple being a milanese delicacy, ambrosia of a doubly baked bread, sprinkled with water, a juicy tomato and some olive oil... mmm, yeah, am bro sia... where’s the salt? if this is ambrosia please give me a haggis in a bagpipe. by the way... the best sarcasm is found in a hangover.*

i still don’t know how a cat managed
to knock on my bedroom door
while slayer’s seasons in the abyss
stopped me munching on violins and cellos:
i got paranoid being the only person in the house
with that eerie sound of knock knock...
but i guess greeting him in the morning
with a head-**** utilised his head for the ‘being human’
initiation... only yesterday he managed to open
the door to the kitchen using the handle -
and like any man with his ******* outstretched
in defiance... he did the same, but with a thumb.

p.s. poetry and collage have a lot in common,
as does poetry and music, i still don't know
why philosophy started the fight, poetry has
nothing in common with philosophy to be
even remotely related for a boxing match,
it's poetry as music and collage, the classical stances
of philosophy are becoming more and more obsolete;
i guess someone had to point that out and side
with plato rather than socrates, but i have to add
one blatant innovation i'm working on,
no not the plagiarism of tristan tzara by william burroughs
of the famed 'cut up' method of writing poetry,
i'm talking Bach, yes, BACH, polyphony, multilayering,
spontaneity, and everything that tzara attempted
picking out bingo ball snippets of newspaper
articles from a bag like some ****** doing the same,
writing a abduction-ransom letter to a rich girl's family
enigmatically... also enclosing a portrait of the girl
done with crude pointillism in cartoon shock colours
with a signature that ræd: antoinette warhol -
yep, and some people will be famous for 15minutes in
a repetitive loop.

going to try counting poems,
thoughts, things....

one....singular...seperate
     alone......
but are we really
.......in my head....there are
so many other voices...alive
and dead....providing...insight
.....opinion......pathways....
derisi­on....
they are all up there in the penut gallery...generations
back......family friends...people i read about in a book...peoples....whose book i read....oprah and the self help gang.....that dude on utube...and the talking cat.....
all in there...waiting with baited breath...all with two cents or more..sometime a whole dollar, even if it is a day late...
my own personal cheersquad,muppet show
critics, have a go,quit while your ahead, be a hero, your nothing but a zero, live life till your dead, don't run with scissors, take a break,c'mon get happy
all this and more...rolling
round my head...like abag of loose marbles....
so not.... one....singular...seperate
           alone.....

more ..... many ..... lots
               legion

             vying for
15minutes on the throne
now...this may be
something.......or not
coffee...kicked in
so much for counting....
*linked to still...nothing

I was pleased to let you in ,I kept thinking I wanted you and needed you . I snorted,injected and absorbed you into my bloodstream because you aroused me. You keep making me drip every bit of you so you can give it to me again. I keep burning every time I sniffed you, my breath becomes toasty just to sense you inside. I hate it when you leave , I want stay with you more than 15minutes. But I had to wake up from my dreamy world since you only look out for yourself, while I’m a mess . We always have good times that’s why I don’t notice the damages. I was blinded by you , by Adrenaline.

ALICE
That night the mother heaved,
what was inside her was ready to emerge.
The day was gloomy, the skies were dark.
Lightening was cracking,
flashes of light here and there.
Deafening thunder that shock the house.
The mother was worried, what will become of this last born.
Just like in unison with the weather, sharp pains ran through her, sign that the young visitor was ready to come.
In less than 15minutes, another flower was added into the banquet.
Her smile like ray of sunshine,
as if to confirm,
the storm subsided,
the heavens cleared.
She looks a sweet flower, let her be named Alice

— The End —
