The covid marshal
It was a Sunday
early afternoon
maybe quarter to one
In the local shop
standing at the meat counter
thinking about roast chicken
all the trimmings
When all of a sudden
the mood is interrupted by two
high vis vest wearing covid marshals
"Excuse me where is your mask?
According to government mandate
you, are required to wear one
or face a hefty fine
According to the government website

Magiks Of Infinite Possibilities
Oh ye of little faith
Forgot what it means
Hu man being
High in the heavens
Being of light, stardust
Have you then lost
Your way, your mind
Forgotten the magic, infinite possibilities
Where is your belief
Why is it you even exist
YOU
CREATOR
YOU star
Did you forget
The world a stage
Time to shine beautiful one(s)
Forgot what it means
Hu man being
High in the heavens
Being of light, stardust
Have you then lost
Your way, your mind
Forgotten the magic, infinite possibilities
Where is your belief
Why is it you even exist
YOU
CREATOR
YOU star
Did you forget
The world a stage
Time to shine beautiful one(s)

Masked Initiation
Awoke from a coma
perhaps a feverish dream
Strange flashing images
cases on the rise
do your part
Lockdown quarantine
Green
Yellow
Red
Tested tracked
Safer apart
Empty silent
places devoid of laughter
not even a church mouse choir
Physical connections
thing of the past
Where are all the smiling faces
What happened whilst we slept?
perhaps a feverish dream
Strange flashing images
cases on the rise
do your part
Lockdown quarantine
Green
Yellow
Red
Tested tracked
Safer apart
Empty silent
places devoid of laughter
not even a church mouse choir

Motes to pearls (Día de los Muertos)
Time
Logical passings
Non linear
Experiencer
Escapee
Chronus table
Feast for maggots
Smorgasbord for crows
Nanosecond noose
Minutes tightening hands
Grass fires purge the land
gust howling hilltops
green leaves soak cleansing rain
Long since dead
dust particles circling the wind
reforming again
futures past
genetic memories

Comfortably Serene
That warm buzz of
stoned n cidered
one gets the medication dose
eyeballed measurements
Well lubricated space suites function best when slight caution offered to winds

Goodtime~Hooligan!
Enjoy the nothingness
expansion
everything
that permeates all
This physical plane
thrilling to fly
five steps a time
gets lost trying to find
a leyline to rhyme
Silent though the mime
still the sun shines
on closed doors
Moon beams reflect
refracted footfalls
Sirius once walked with Orion
long before
fire formed clay
Lightening water pools
dropletts for the cave of consciousness
Train of thought derails
froggy mysteries
one of lifes many riddles

We've Been Down This Well Trodden Road
This does not sit well with myself
I asked Opa about Fascism and authoritarianism.
Did Nazi Germany happen smack bang in the face, or was it rather little by creeping step. Scarcely noticed..
Till a false flag Reichstag, sets of a police state powder keg, before you know it knock knock its Hanz from the Gestapo.
Nobody expects the inquisition.
He has yet to reply regarding that. Although his memoirs he emails are close to the war years.

Duol Oroboros Essentially
What's infinity
Baby
Place an eight
On it's side
Spin it round
Like two dancing snakes
Chasing tail
Perfectly in sync
Circling motions
Timeless
Immortal
Meet Someplace in the middle
Love
Like beacons of light
Guide the way home

Dot Matrix 010110
Ode to the cracks
that we fall
as choo choo money
train derails further down the tracks
Songs no longer sung
crime to even think freedom
nothing more than condemning chains
mind your will, do as we wilt
Illusions of choice
not of ones choosing
rather devil in a red dress
Rescue the damsel in distress
Scraps bones crumbs
fought over
cest la vie Mon amie
show some gratitude
Ball n chain rolling on
sometimes snowballs
avalanche mountainsides
lest you forget all that seritude
that we fall
as choo choo money
train derails further down the tracks
Songs no longer sung
crime to even think freedom
nothing more than condemning chains
mind your will, do as we wilt
Illusions of choice
not of ones choosing
rather devil in a red dress
Rescue the damsel in distress
Scraps bones crumbs
fought over
cest la vie Mon amie
show some gratitude
Ball n chain rolling on
sometimes snowballs
avalanche mountainsides
lest you forget all that seritude

Letters from the gulag homeichapelago iii
Bobby Friday
I will always have a fond place in my heart for Bobby
Back in the carefree days, when we would wander the city streets till the dawns hours.
Going on mission dumps, opening the ashtrays with his key, or as he put it, "City pays me to collect dumps, this my job". Still amuses me peoples reactions to this, his usual response to those laughing and shouting, "I love dumps, dumps for life" .
My response was usually, "are you going to buy us tobacco?" Fuck off then“.
Diving in dumpsters, another favourite of Bobby's, it was like a treasure...

Letters from the gulag homeichapelago ii
Fascism rears its head
I was out on my state sanctioned walk
Three police cars pulled up to a couple waiting at the bus stop
One police officer got nose to nose
as he slapped the cuffs on the guy
no face mask, no social distancing
I could hear the woman sobbing
We are just waiting for a bus
Later I saw police handing out fines to people come back from the shops
I guess it's a crime now, that basic necessity of being able to buy food.

Letters from the gulag homeichapelago
It was good seeing Bobby friday
even if at the required 6ft social distance
We laughed
shared a joke about times, day by day forgotten
Reminiscing of the bbqs we used to share in the park. Deceased now of family, music laughter
Bobby mentioned the sisters are defying orders and remaining open, so as to still provide food and basic needs for the vulnerable. How so many of us fall into that category now.
I remarked on those doing the same thing here. Both of us agreeing how wonderful humanity's defiance during this is.
We both wish fond...
