still must n´t whine-
there was a time!
we had cities of tent
card board boxes..!

champagne
and sports car
our growth industries-
we went to war

for some distant shepards..
we became america-
somehow,
i did not know..

hard to know what history
would say..but i went away..
to blue skies and very
small rooms..

i see our glorious socialist party
are cutting benefits, lily?
perhaps like the dear days of thatcher
they will make the rich,richer..

some are motivated by love
and some by hate
for some,now, is enough
while some just wait..

some,fly like doves
and some plummet..
some dance in the buff
and some don´t..

some are off the cuff
some just can´t..
some cut it off
while others arn´t

really bothered..bluff..
some never start
some are duff or naff
some will eat your heart

and complain-tough!?
some never part-
some eternal of
the poisonous dart..

and some say stuff
a lot
here and gone oof..
too hot..

like a liitle bit of fluff
in your pocket
alien life-
hurry it..

motivate

motivate

motivate-
a perspective pit
stand to attention!

what is worth doing
what has to be done
reverse it-

no,too cryptic-she taps
a pencil against teeth
that barely shown-motivate-

write it down-what we
want..wrong and right
why write..

ii

because the earth is flat
and i have something to say
i have to have direction

some kind of internal compass
if up turns out to be down
and round and round..

i will be ******..

to motivate-

to motivate-
to just do the washing up
with joy in my heart..!

a tate a tate,
with the love of god,
(etheral as sparrow-****..)

instead, i hear nina and
she is wild as the wind
(for clevor trevor..)

sparrow **** is a euphemism for dawn in case any one wondered..nina is a reference to nina simones rendition of that great song and clevor trevor is another song by ian dury rip..

i sat in a field outside ******
and watched the scandanavians
while they doused themselves in
the ice cold stream..

and then about four or five deer
came by and drank from the
afore mentioned..
it was fun one eye on the sky

where the the sun hid shyly..
a steep climb up to the road
before the farmer came..
there was a dolphin..

ii

i sat by a cannon
and examining the surf
in another town
i think a siren was near-

for from the little waves
appeared a dolphin
it did nt stay..
before troy it was gone..

old and young

old and young
that was a killer combination
you meet them
hopless with wisdom

they had to work
they had to drink
they had to do so many things
doing nothing..
