i have a plethora of idea
but i think of my last word
instead and this is or was
blank..or agnosia-

(which is a new one on me)
the strange or unrecognised familliar
when doctor p looks at a glove
and has no ideas as to

what it is..he has become abstract as
a computer..due to a tumour..
so when he mistakes his wife for a hat
and tries to put her head on his head..

he is a muscian,a teacher and a
painter and continued working until
his death..i will not say my life is hard
and try not to complain..

correlation:the relationship
between two or tragedy
adds lily-

the trick is to recall her
first smile or an old
melody-

your song by elton
-or some dirge
by the lake´s side

picnic..
lemonade and tongue
or cyanide..

well,i say i could not
live without her
and god knows it´s

hard to live with her
changes and choice
take your pick

i have a new book lily
i got it at the flea market
it is a compilation of patients
with strange psychosis-entitled,
the man who mistook his wife for a hat-i read the preface, and i thnk it is too complex for me..he is banging on about the
left and right of the brain..some rudimentary understanding
of neurology is called for..i don´ t have it..but i will try,i enjoy
a challenge..

she says what would you do if
you only had a short time to live
i would n´t change a thing-is
that a some kind of happy man..?

because i have no need
except to eat
and the elements at bay

keep..
some human exchange
would be nice

a safe enviroment in which
to be-a nice cup of tea
and a twix o

(habitual me..)
i need nothing
that is suffice..

***
a house was a home
but now speculation
the billionaires made 2

trillion last year-i
would do too-
no good denying human

nature..i would buy a new guitar
but would that make me any better
it any more fun..

force hits an immovable object..

(go on..)

peripatetic-to wander upon
one
to find one

d has come and gone
we will miss him
so grounded in dream..

he said,all is what it seems
love and beauty, a whim-
look and find..

that old double-negative

fighting (and one fight leads
to another)-we  destroy,preserve
or create-up to us-we get what
we give..

o middle of the road with
a bit of bob..on mine line nine
shared bread and wine
purple the very soul..

longer patron saint of travellers
******..

the stars..what is your pregunta..?

it for you..

on you go, my simple kind of man
try  not to swear
we are live-
in theory..

ii

you make me happy
like a lemon tree
sometimes, the lombardy

your refferences
obscure
see

an answer
no longer a
question..

rootless and parched
you bring the rain
you can

i can
why not
can..
