How we laughed at
Death on a hovercraft,

we were young then
nine or ten.
but now we're not
and death's got
the last laugh

If you think that you're 'over the hill'
there's a pill you can take
it'll make you feel brand new
and ready once more for the climb.

but you know it's all a bit Sisyphus
when
they call you by name, and it's
Narcissus.

No pills for me
herbal tea will be just fine
.

That obsession
could not be beat
it tasted so sweet
on my tongue,

but I should have run
should have hightailed it out
what in hell's name
was I thinking about?

There should have been a danger sign,
a warning
telling me of the minefield ahead
and there wasn't
that
doesn't mean there shouldn't have been
if there were, I wouldn't
be here in the state
that I'm in.

'No time like the present',
but it has already passed
and I see that nothing today
has been built to last.

Misery is a solitary endeavour.

So we don't dwell on what has
been and gone,
we look to the future and hope
to move on.

It was Monday before
and
it'll be Monday again
then
it'll be Monday again and again

I see a pattern emerging.

Not a sign, a signal or omen
that they were homing
in on me
using
infrared tracking
but they arrived
and I was backed in
to a corner

lucky really
I could have been tucked in
by a coroner
because
they had guns
and lots of
them.

The best laid plans of mice and mink that skate around thin ice then shrink into the water colours of a painting.

I am blessed be that She took me for better or for worse
Grammarly pipes in with a get off your **** and begin something new,

ah
a sculpture based on lemon curd and not a single word was heard when I realised this was madness.

It's okay
I'm out for the day, which is better than being out for the count, ask Monte Cristo, he'd know.

Books and the looks when you look at the books and wonder which one you should read,

read them all and escape
it's
never too late to learn.

To like what you do
does not mean that
you can do what you like.

There are rules to adhere to.

Which is a shame
when there is no one to blame
but yourself.
