happy!?
when i was a little boy
i found i could play the guitar
automatically

the little girl next to me
was amazed and said she
would be my girlfriend..
but mixed reviews-the

gangsters threw me against
the wall and threatened me
to play and then they threatened
me to stop..

do not tell me time is linear
for i know it is circular
something in a minor
so i played under the stairs..

i would trust you
but i would end in a cavern
effed by the devil

there are times one
gets only one chance
so i was careful

to say yes might be
the end..happy..
innocence can be deceptive..

ii

a smile is just a co-
ordination of muscle
and teeth..

moments in every life
look to intent
the reality hussle..

no,
no,i never got over the
expulsion of trotsky from
the cp..

but the first day on the beach
(a sparkly memory)
i woke and a large

praying mantis was on
my face-jeez..
in the morning sun

the morning wine..
when i was young
i was in that blue sea..

hap i´m back!
and you can have a bath
f i am-

there´s a 20 per cent off
at the gas station-
bathe-you-dog!

did you ever hear of anything
so cheap.....
in these days of high prices

and higher profits..when
i was young i was a bit of
a radicle-happy..

we believed in people before
profits-but the in-fighting of
the left  

and the shift of the centre
to the right all pathed the
way for the discrepancy

between the rich and poor
greater than the victorian age
the billionaire..

i got on my bicycle
dissilussioned, i travelled
h:what about that bath...?
Michael John Jul 2024
well,not really dying but
the deterioration of body
and mind..

i feel i should have some
say in the matter-you know
enough is enough..

saturday,hap,off to
the doctor-to err is human
to forgive divine!

pope was one of my
favourites
when i was young

inspiration from a man
so afflicted
a brave soul..!

ii

a life of the daffodil
and the cold tap-
now where´s your lead?

i chewed f out of it
o look what have you done?!
i was bored..

iii

scene three-grumpy´s boots
on the couch
well,doctor, i am old and

feel nothing or angry for
no reason
i fear dying..

come on now hap
i have to go into the pound
shop-one of these days!?

h-yeah.. dystopia is a head
gp-we never had pound shops
when i was young-

h-o god!
and a young brando in
a street car-materialism was

the kindness of strangers-
not-look at cosmetics-!
all we had was brute-

or west for the more sophisticated..
now look at this land fill-
now,what did i want..?

ii

a home and a happy family
i suppose-sir...sir..!?
your dog is urinating on the floor..

happy?!sorry i lost it there..
outside..!your grounded mister-
h-que sera,sera..
