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...

Obsolete Core Value(s)
The carrot, how we avert our gaze
loving stick, that beats back to caves
thumbs calloused, numb caught in webs
Currency or digital apathy?
Wood I plant some trees?
Had I the freedom of my legs
could the terminator save those seeds
Kenneth the frequency looks grim
Inwardly fading into dust particles
The lighthouse of Alexandria
luminous beacon for lost boats
Wo man, man's woe....
Family?
Morals?
Values?
come home to an empty nest
Feminazis dictating masculine toxicity
Why?
Those...

Gypsie Gitano Pikey Travellers and such
I come from those wandering footfalls
step imprinted on a thousand steps
Walkabout whereabouts
finding only places those wanderlust
types knowingly show
Walk this earth like it is ours
Seek the defiance to see
The borders are imaginary
step imprinted on a thousand steps
Walkabout whereabouts
finding only places those wanderlust
types knowingly show
Walk this earth like it is ours
Seek the defiance to see
The borders are imaginary

What eye(s) see
Firery exterior
iron mask
masking
Soft interior
Social camouflage keeps restless thieves at bay
Understand why
You..
At times feel unworthy
unlovable
Self love is fucking hard
when you haven't been shown the way
It's ok T Durden, don't beat yourself up
too much anyway, forgiveness a powerful key
To me you are beautiful
kind compassionate understanding
You know love
Look at your children
Look at the influence you have had on their lives
For me
You are my rock ...
