HALFSIES DAY

now i havent
done the mathing
at all properly
but
around
about
now
i have spent a much time alive
in this century & millennia
as in the last

& i dont know what to do about it
so i am calling it Halfsies Day
& putting it here

PIECES

& we hold 

the piece of them 

we are left with

like a rushed bout of swapsies
in the hall before the lesson bell

& i hear their healthy guffaw

That  Made  Time  Do  One

when i see stuff & things

they would have loved
to be alive 

to laugh at

NEWS WILL EAT

you better

spend some time

looking
somewhere else

you fragile sun of a gun

or that news
will eat

your soft heart 

alive

NO BELL TO EVER RING

to be ill
all the time

an everyday sicknote

well its like 

being sent to the corner
to stare at the wall

no chair allowed

the world alive

behind you

MINDFIELD ON THE RUN

 

i never asked 

it was all a mindfield

where no baby heart should tread

i stayed in the veil

smoking on the far side of the bed

metaphorically alive

& on the run

TRILOGY POPTARDS

1.

say well done
and
pat me on the head like a puppy
thirsty for the loving cup

cos
when our meat fails
our chance is gone

if
it
was
there
at
all


2.

happiness
is
a good feed / sunshine

sadness
has
depth / longevity / romance

and where they meet
is
the
peace 
inside

elusive and rewarding - even before phones


3.

dont call me old
dont say next stop 50
dont say middle aged
     or 
     make me tick the 35 - 45 box

dont say
        ooooh he dont like hearing that
     or
        ooooh touched a nerve did we

just say
        that
            i am alive
        and
            thats good
        and    
            well done
            
            You Are Doing OK 
            
            today
