wells believed when we
had enough then it was
apparent-the door in the wall..

i mean,death as a reality-
ontology-part of metaphysics,
apparently..

yes,spring was always
hard for me
the winter was no picnic
neither
the summer was dull
and autumn ******..

that is a convoluted title
her latest water colour
in three colours
put it on the fridge..

i
i

what i like
is yesterday
or today is a level sea
see,i am as good
as you-in theory..
the white and the black..
unless of course and
i laugh at my fancy
proviso-you are better
then me-hey,i will not
look back but roll like a
calf in clover, that is
this moment..

ii

the door in the wall and
ontology-breakfast reading
with my egg and soldiers..

i prefer the middle road
now i am old
still lost in colour..

that was more than i had
a clock called sad
i wept and sang


home on the range
tussled with c
dropped lsd

drank and laughed
lost in the flowers
and beautiful holland..

and of course perfection
is a dodgy conception
you could end up believing

in god..or you might think
i am god..and i will create..!
when i stopped drinking

i felt very good and bad at
the same time,like a tulip
or a devil..

or maybe that was the acid..
which i believe they now
use to treat alcoholism

and depression-i like to
think i was ahead of my time
o but keep a job?

i
i used my music to
quit drinking and depression
when substance abuse is
in your soul..

it takes something to replace
it takes time and understanding
it is a re-assesment and embracing
the reach for perfection..

so, they came at me again as i
knew they would but ready this time with
a fake knife in the pocket they being so
much bigger then i and again they
went on their lonesome way and the police
came and stopped me and i had to turn out
my pockets but of course there was nothing but not
satisfied he searched me and found nothing
feeling sorry for him i made to explain with
some rather homophobic language i will not
repeat here i was only fourteen and i said something
like i was pretending and he said do i want to register
a complaint about this and the marble egg that was nearly
thrown through the television at whose home and amid visible
shock we agreed we would let sleeping dogs lie a rather
nice expression..

ii

do wonder why tics
and tourettes and depression etc
is so popular..

pftb quite common
and quite mild
to some stories..sure..
