Along a weed blossom lane - a rift in time
A rift in time
Split a man in two
Two men emerged
On opposite sides
Of an iridescent fissure
The second man
A young man heading north east
Not knowing who he will become
After the wilderness of youth
A spiritless well paid career?
Failures and success
Ebbing fulfillment?
Marital acquiescence
Fatherly responsibilities
Accepted…run from…shirked?
The first man
An old man heading south west
Smiled as he forgot who he was
The fog was kind
Wandering to the grave ...

Customer profiles
We are all capable of being assholes (Me especially). But if you are working behind a till you can't escape them.
The Good Customer
Comes in, picks something, brings it to the till, pays and leaves. May say thanks, but thanks is only necessary, if the till attendant has packed their bag or carried something heavy.
The Lonely Customer
Comes in, takes a long time picking something, stands at the till and begins to tell their entire life story, from birth up until the present. Then begins on the present state of affairs. After a long one-way conversation, in...

Hawthorn Mayflower
The stump remains
Where once there was Oak
She was somebody's daughter
Once
An invisible wandered through the crowd
Clutching a radio in both hands, unknown station
Drifting out on long waves
While the visible queued for handmade icecream
Great tubs of chocolate sludge
Somewhere a mouth is smiling
In a crowd of lifeless lips
The smile was real
It burnt through the ribs
A solar flare of all the heart needs
To keep on beating
To keep on living
Where once there was Oak
She was somebody's daughter
Once
An invisible wandered through the crowd
Clutching a radio in both hands, unknown station
Drifting out on long waves
While the visible queued for handmade icecream
Great tubs of chocolate sludge
Somewhere a mouth is smiling
In a crowd of lifeless lips
The smile was real
It burnt through the ribs
A solar flare of all the heart needs
To keep on beating
To keep on living
