#nuisance
new arts are born from thievery, despite my forsaken property-
the call I heard, then rose to serve-
was stupid with tenacity.
Four stanzas worth of couplets, engulfed like flames, the page,
This digital bleakness, in which we dwell
'stained white with expressionist rage.
And yes, sometimes anguish comes, and then sometimes, sorrow stays-
But even now when I think of you-
trouble goes away.
How these days mimic the Night,
In their dizziness- at freedom's height
Tethering- do they placate or testify?
Mysticisms demistify.

One day working Pre-Covid when I had to travel to Dublin everyday to work
I was feeling kinda tired and said to myself
"Yknow I gotta take a day off tomorrow, I'm knackered"
So I tell my Boss and he OK's it, says it's no problem
So next morning I get to lie in, have a really good rest
Eventually I get up, get dressed, go into my kitchen and put the kettle on for a cup of tea
I can see outside it's a lovely morning, the sun is shining and the birds singing
So I decide to go out and get some air
When I open the back door that leads into my garage where my car is
What do I see waiting for me...A feckin' flat tyre, the wheel completely flat
Now my car is relatively new, I've only had it a few months
I never even looked in the boot to see what kind of jack there was
And now when I look I see that it's a different jack to the one I had previously
And also the spare tyre is what they call a 'donut wheel (is only a temporary wheel to be used until the main wheel is mended)
And the distance between the car wheel and the garage wall is just over a foot
You could hardly swing a cat
I think to myself "What am I going to do, this new jack is a bit funny
And I got no space to work with, it's awkward as hell"
Then I remember the car came with a five year membership of the Automobile Association (the AA)
I think to myself I can give them a ring, sure they'd come and fix it
So I go back into the kitchen to get my tea and I'm thinking "what a feckin' nuisance, spoils my day this"
Then suddenly my doorbell rings, now I don't get many callers
And I think "Who the **** is that?"
I go out and it's Jim the handyman, he does odd jobs for me, cuts my hedges, is great at carpentry and DIY
He says to me "I was just passing and wondering could I make a start on cutting that front hedge of yours"
I tell him in reply "Sure! you're very lucky I'm off work today, I took a day off, I'll give you a hand"
So while he goes off to get his tools, I close the door and think
'That's strange him coming today, he would have known I was working (that it was a 'work day for me')
That I wouldn't be at home
There's no way he should have called'
So I go out to the garage to get some implements
I open the garage door and go down to him
Of course I happen to mention I got a flat tyre
He says to me he has an electric car pump in his car and that I can use it
He says it'll pump the wheel temporarily and that I can drive down to a nearby puncture repair shop he knows, he even gives me directions
So we work at the hedge for a few hours, then we go across to the local Diner, I treat him to a breakfast
When we come back he says he has to go off now
He tells me to pump the wheel with the air pump
You start the car and the pump plugs in to the power outlet of the car
You attach it to the valve in the wheel and it pumps the wheel... cool
I give him back his pump and thank him and then he heads off
I then drive quickly to the puncture repair shop before the wheel goes down
There's a small local supermarket beside it
While I'm waiting on them to fix my wheel
I nip over and get a coffee and a chocolate bar and a newspaper
When I come back I sit in the waiting room
"Heh!" I think, 'this has been a strange...funny day, I still can't get over how he called, there's no way he should have called... no way. Funny that...

I wouldn’t hurt a fly,
Besides that one fly,
That flies around my eye,
In the middle of the night,
This fly needs to die,
And leave me alone,
Alone while I cry.
Fight or flight,
This fly’s got might,
Dodging my swipes,
And buzzing alright,
A noisy, buzzing kite,
Flying all ******* night,
As if confined to my brain tight.
I’m not alright,
I’m not alright tonight,
I don’t really want to fight,
This fly on such a lonely night.

it has become
the daily accessory
hated and loved alike
sign of bad times
and limited mobility
by some
equanimously accepted
as yet another fashion piece
for others
a threatening symbol
of prescribed orders from above
for many
just a necessary nuisance
that will go away in time
we certainly need to change
our reflexes upon the sight
of persons masked
before Corona
at least in our latitudes
masks were a sign of robbers and bandits
now it’s the good guys who wear them
the bad guys who don’t
and … how can we be sure of that?
a real challenge to find out
just from the movement of the eyebrows
whether you face a friend
or not

One memory refuses to fade
How you touched me like you didn’t want to
How you succumbed to my request like you merely pitied me
How you kissed me like it left a bitter taste afterwards
How you looked disgusted afterwards
Those memories never depart
It was at that exact moment I knew it was over
I realize I was unwanted
I was a nuisance

I'm sorry
I'm sorry for loving you
I'm sorry
I'm sorry for missing you
I'm sorry
I'm sorry for needing you
I'm sorry
I'm sorry for wanting you
I'm sorry
I'm sorry for clinging onto you
I'm sorry
I'm sorry for wishing you were mine
I'm sorry
I guess all i can say is I'm sorry
Because all i ever was,
Was a nuisance to you.
I'm sorry
I'm sorry for everything
For being alive

I've been trying to be more social
To step out of my own little comfort bubble
But I guess I got carried away,
I just enjoyed what new things I've done a little too much
So I apologize to those I've now annoyed
I guess I got too happy and clingy
So now I know to not be social
To just stay hidden away and disappear...

drips of joy
some of pain
peel me you'll
find restrain
liked or disliked
I‘m all the same
aroma and sight
so guess my name
--"Hint-Hint"--
don't take these
words by surprise
you might shed tears
from your eyes
many have complained
that I'm a nuisance yet
who I am is who I am and
can't help how I was named
open your eyes cant you see
an "ONION" thats just me...

I have to leak out
and spill over the edges
I have to be a nuisance to the passive state of things
If only just to be defiant
And scratch at the eyes of the flat environment in which people toil along their timelines without so much as a ripple to show for it
I have to let in the wind, and let it howl around my corners
and sock hop with me
I too often get bored of the sunshine that heats up stable things that barely move
I need storms and hurricanes
If only just to have something to say one day when youthful isn't how I'm described anymore
And the creases in my skin circle and intersect like a mosaic tapestry
And they ask for a story around the dinner table
Then I'll leak out all over again
In a violent rage
That will be a nuisance to the passive state of things

She takes every second of my life
Making me his slave
I free myself from the powerful leash
But her voice is stronger than the chain
Like a cancer she spreads without stopping
Getting sick my heart and my soul
She burns inside me and I can't feel anything else
She burns violently and I can't see anywhere else
unearth the truth
Break the mirror of lies where you observe yourself every day
and violently cry.

They say it's too cold
Know how to put on a sweater?
You'll be fine
They say it's an obstacle
They hate this kind of weather
I think it's by design
Is it a nuisance or a blessing in disguise?
I've found the beauty in pausing our busy lives
I've felt the warmth of chilling out
and spending time with the people I care about
And I don't know
if you're in the know
but I'm into snow

I am a
nuisance
I bother
Everybody
No one
Likes me
Everyone
Hates me
I do no
Good
I do nothing but
Bad
Why am I still
Alive
When I deserve to be
Dead?

We are fleas that live in the ***
We think we own the dog.
We fight fleas that live in the head,
We bomb fleas that seem different
Only to us,
For the dog we are all a nuisance.
Fleas that create songs
And flags
To celebrate their portion,
Living in the *** seems better,
Some prefer the ears,
I choose to roam.
I dream with other dogs
Maybe cats.
We are fleas
That destroy their dog host.
Perhaps this dog needs a bath.

This ***** world is full of deception
Where people sell faith for pennies
Fake people play sincere is but none
Mockery opens just crease by crease
I do not know why people play *****
Why virtue fails and vice dominates
Good are imprisoned bad is but free
World is but a ***** which fascinates
All relations are sham ready to haunt
Step by step play but with innocence
Try to dominate reality with the tricks
This is what is called public nuisance

Being alone
is not that bad
A peace of mind you have at last
Sometimes
People are such a nuisance
That I wish to withdraw from them
Alone I can do nothing
But I could be in relief from other people's expectations

These voices won't leave me alone.
They praise me,
then make fun of me.
They envy me,
and then call me a ******
I'm not an *******
and I try not to be.
I don't try to be kool.
but that's the impression,
they seem to get from me.
Even when alone,
they plague me.
Even when my thoughts make sense,
they somehow crumble apart.
Logic attempts to guide me,
delusions get in the way.
"They don't exist,"
I tell myself.
Then what are they,
and what the **** do they want?

*Pardon me, but is something amusing you?
Must you mock everything I say and do?
Do you treat everyone you pass this badly?
Didn't anyone teach you how to behave properly?
One night, I could've sworn I heard you crying.
And yet you were still effing and blinding.
When in God's name will you mend your ways?
You're driving yourself to an early grave!*

I have braces on more than just my teeth.
The only difference is that they won't be coming off once things straighten out.
