Negative Space
the sign's meaning is
subsumed by negative space,
when meaning lies there ...

May Evening
Bats in the moonlight
eating moths on cow parsley --
end of May gloaming

The Dimming White Spot Fades To Black
The tool of propagandists, television;
the self important electronic nag.
Vainly disseminating information
and, trying to put your mind in their bag.
We found all their transmissions were informing
and fed on the truth that they were broadcasting.
Enlightenment came to us through TV,
bringing worlds we would not otherwise see!
But a web was spun of free information
and narratives from differing sources.
No one chose the horses for the courses
which gallop'd towards our new liberation.
TV the medium of idiots
now...
the self important electronic nag.
Vainly disseminating information
and, trying to put your mind in their bag.
We found all their transmissions were informing
and fed on the truth that they were broadcasting.
Enlightenment came to us through TV,
bringing worlds we would not otherwise see!
But a web was spun of free information
and narratives from differing sources.
No one chose the horses for the courses

Six Sigma
Our intolerance
to deviation traps us
in ... cold perfection.

A Rotting Shoal of Fish
Tickling trout to fish for and capture Salmon.
Planning, plotting, lying, deceiving, cheating -
but prevailing, not. By a Shameless, Nameless
Party who love hate.

The Twopenny Hangover
unaware of our

until the knot slips

Sleeping, sleeping, waking and washing, eating,

Armory and Delamirie
Canto I
A chimney sweep was walking down the street
in seventeen hundred and twenty two,
when something caught his eye. He took a seat
to double check and to plan what to do.
He thought he'd seen something glimmer and gleam
in the gutter. Yes! What came into view?
He saw a gem set in gold - what a dream!
His problem was to transfer the jewel
from the gutter to his pocket by some scheme.
He rose and walked but tripped and went pell mell
into the gutter. He got to his feet
