hitting on last night´s wine
the book falls from her hand
what is she reading?

she says,the more it snows,
it goes on,
the more it goes on snowing..

her head like a magic wand
sleeps on the table..
her knuckles scrape the lino..

carrying on the theme of accumulation
positive begets positive
when roo swims in the dangerous whirlpool

to save a life-
eeyore dips his tail but too late-!
pooh, finds a stick (because it was there)

thoughtless action it´s reward..
a cake and a *** of honey
the donkey hestitates..
di nada di nada
and perhaps that is true
our day to day behavior
eventually accrues

and becomes what we are..
but surprise like oo
when we glance in the mirror
like something new..
di nada di nada
this is profoundly false
war-
the love walz..

feed the birds
and memory of course
when for the first time
your baby grips your finger..

all for nothing all free

stars above-stars below
i love you..

nothing but to fly
the magic sky through
turn lead to gold and
i love you..

di nada di nada
but love will accrue
blue and red and i
i love you..c..
if we don´t pay our musicians
and artists then we´ll end up
with a load of has-beens and
glorified karaokes´..

(o dear, lily has donned her hat
of controversy..)she says she is
feeling nutritionally-challenged-
hungry..

what is for breakfast?(i recall
baked-beans on toast
over an open fire..in the olive grove
a car seat our pride and joy..)
(boredom
the moment in anticipation
or unawareness..)

as the poet lu yu wrote:
the clouds above join and separate
the breeze in the courtyard leaves and returns
life is like that,so why not relax
who can keep us from celebrating?
i)

boredom
nothing as beautiful
as a flame

is it the relentless advance
or the colours
or the pain..

ii)

my mythology is dodgy
but when your man gave us fire
the gods chained him to a rock

and vultures devoured his liver
same time same day for eternity-
