Tea And Biscuits With An Alien
Rudy is an alien. For the lack of a better description lets call him a grey.
We had a chat about philosophy, ethics, social engineering and genetic restructuring
one evening over a cup of tea and biscuits.
Me: Funny you should show up, i've been thinking about you guys, about what makes you tick.
Rudy: Yeah, we know, your questions are becoming more relevant, we are glad.
Me: Well, i'm glad you´re glad, now we can all be glad together.
Rudy: (sips tea) I sense hostility. Control yourself human, it´s worth it.
Your anxiety is typical, you...

Want And Directions
i come from the north
talking from the south
backwards going forth
quench thirst in drouth
while i bow to the east
kneeling from the west
famished still can feast
in laboring find my rest
Thanks to Ahavati for the idea

First To Be Last
Independent obeys and conforms
goes with the flow rejects norms
apprehensive and without a care
going nowhere to purchase a fare
Soft as caterpillar stings as knife
dead as a door nail vibrant as life
an intellectual thicker than a post
when least expected admits most

Caveman Out
When walking you drop a shoulder
a bit like John Wayne only colder
crash into furniture and say hello
stomping your ground like a buffalo
hi brute i say watch you and smile
hungrily forage around for a while
where is it all you tone like a gong
and what did you do with my bong
gone to charity i roar like a mouse
i think i want you out of my house
your caveman ways become a bore
and i've forgotten what i kept you for
a bit like John Wayne only colder
crash into furniture and say hello
stomping your ground like a buffalo
hi brute i say watch you and smile
hungrily forage around for a while
where is it all you tone like a gong
and what did you do with my bong
gone to charity i roar like a mouse
i think i want you out of my house
your caveman ways become a bore
and i've forgotten what i kept you for

Where do i think i'm going
where do i think i've been
how do i know a knowing
how can i put it back in
When can i just be being
when can all doubts go
what my eyes are seeing
what my heart can know
Who do i think that i am
who can see me for me
why must i give a damn
why i'm bound and free
where do i think i've been
how do i know a knowing
how can i put it back in
When can i just be being
when can all doubts go
what my eyes are seeing
what my heart can know
Who do i think that i am
who can see me for me
why must i give a damn
why i'm bound and free

Muscles
His sullen searchlight eyes caught me
felt so safe in his strong arms so free
showed the woman in me felt her feel
and thanked the stars for making it real
Our next date takes place within a week
omg i can't believe it am so excited eek
in my tight brown slacks i pretty my face
and my thoughts were all over the place
We sat for a while he fixed me a drink
it tasted a bit strange a cocktail i think
asked me to feel the muscle in his arm
i smiled and complied what's the harm
...

But i don't
i fear you but i don't
avoid you seek you out
i'll see you but i won't
within you and without
i'm below i'm above you
loathe you and want you
i hate you and i love you
you kill me i haunt you
avoid you seek you out
i'll see you but i won't
within you and without
i'm below i'm above you
loathe you and want you
i hate you and i love you
you kill me i haunt you

Harbinger
On a northern island alone in the rough
days get longer and the weather wetter
seeing winter dueling with sun is enough
to keep me waiting for something better
but then today you arrived on the breeze
your soft dee deeee so sweet to my ear
Lóa i whispered you cute summers tease
praised be your name now spring is here
days get longer and the weather wetter

to keep me waiting for something better
but then today you arrived on the breeze

Shit On A String
i dreamed i wrote some shit down
on a small piece of lined paper
It was a crappy poem i think
i crumpled the paper into a loose ball
and tied a long white string around it
walked to the balcony and peered over
threw it off and watched it hit the grass
then i cut the string with small scissors
Not sure but think i just set my shit free
on a small piece of lined paper

Pubbed
i met her last night in a pub
& exclaimed she was a sub
greeted her as one does to another
but she wasn't one of those
& as she led me by the nose
slyly introduced me to her brother

Imp And The Idiot Translated
Fjandakornið hýmdi á fjósbita
froðufelllandi af einskærri kæti
hann gæddi sér þar á hálfvita
sá hamaðist með allskyns læti
Imp on his haunches on a sty beam
mouth foaming from sheer delight
enjoying a good meal out of an idiot
who below him shouted and cursed
froðufelllandi af einskærri kæti

sá hamaðist með allskyns læti

mouth foaming from sheer delight
