SPRING WASHING

HAPPINESS DOESNT HAVE TO BE IGNORANT THO IT MOSTLY IS

put your daily paper down
&
clutch your plastic zen
&
smile like theres no fear
&
discard the how and when
&
breath inside your belly-mind
&
breath out again and then - 
                  
be happy on purpose
or
as
close
as
you
can
get
in the flat burn of this undone world

once youre there
youll find a reason - hide in a tree
                      chase a bee
                      dissolve the me

cos 
what 
the 
hell 
else 
do you do ?

when negativity dont get you thru ?

BIRDS QUADROPOP

the all-night birds
are loosing their rag
in
the
orange 
city
twilight

~

i see a bird
i watch him fly

i
will
never knowingly
see
him
again

~

the dawn racket is 
HUGE
the birds are 
HAPPY 

without 
coffee
or
the mall

~

birds 
broadcast 
their simple headlines

with
no
agenda
slant

or
money
