grumpy and the dog
at the seaside-caption one-
a pair of bare feet-hairy and thin-

just look at all these tourists
coming here!
putting the prices up!

what kind of people like to pay
high prices?!
STRANGE PEOPLE!.. (that´s who)

is this our country or not?
money i suposse-
all is money..

love is..a cruise..and
i never been on one..
(a smiling face..)

lily something with black thorns
but marks and sparks..

blood in the walk-naomi

todd you are late..

if i was not so selfish
and greedy
things would be different

i would not be lonely
life might be full
and death dull..

what you expect is seldom
what you get
but expectation is art

wishing into come
magical and dissapointment
is learning..

i thought like a poem or
cartoon-lily-this is the basic plot
two characters-grumpy boots

and happy dog-one suffers
permanetly from dissastifaction
while the other-complaining

of what he has and what he
never had-(we see only his boots)
and his misanthrope -

while the other-his discontent
general and specific-while the other
his ranting endless-

while the other-***** in the street
usually diarrhea
and his smiling face-the end..

i woke today dreaming i
was writing a poem
what it was about i could nt
say..still it was better than the
one where i am on island s
urrounded by monsters or
when my guitar is stolen..

a wee misplacement on the right-
a stretch put right
and into the box!

spinning on a dime
after deft a touch
(we held our breath)

a moment of pure zen!
the ball and net were one!
the silence of the gods-

the beauty of stone
o where have we been?
the love of albion..

in the last of time
rapture abounding-
glory glory-ollie watkins..!
