ABOUT WRITING

just cos i dont know 

  why i still do it
  is no reason to stop

just cos i dont know 

  right now does not mean 

  the reason is not SOUND

just cos i dont know
  isnt reason to lose trust

  in that me who did

  cos

he was onto something

  or 

he was ON something

  either way 

  strap in

  beacon lit

MUSTARD SEED

they say
the kingdom of heaven
is like a mustard seed
or similar - whatever

i am more concerned
with the door policy
the smoking areas

& when they stop doing food

cos i cant eat a parable

~

& A&E was busy this weekend

cos so much reason 

was bleeding out

from all the stabbed up sanity
butchered in the london streets

ABOUT THE WINDOW

the godlight of spring sun
finds the windowsill plants

& paints there 

laser-like outlines

of blue & gold & white & yellow

around the points of leaves

& the swoop of stems

& the wings of petals 

& up the plumb of pots

& its life & glee & art

& the reason & an answer
& it  g l o w s

like heaven glows

in books & stories & tv 

OLD MERCURY

apex flab
twitter jag
churns up old mercury 
in 
the
reason residue
of serbian cafes
troubled gut 
worry horse
caffeine mills

truth takes cover
behind sanitys  
cloakroom 
foyer 
alcove 
pedestal

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 ?

NIGHT MONSTER

despite
age
wisdom
voice and reason
i
still hope - almost pray
in
the 
dead of a restless night
that
coming
back
from
the 
fuzzy bathrooms dark edges
no
nameless monster
grabs
for
my
naked hurrying ankles

night monster, ford beebe, 1942, from youtube.com
