latterly, my wife ..

at the nightclub she wore
a slinky black dress
and had a great pair
of legs and
I couldn't think of anything else ..

love his attitude ..

bloke comes into the café
covered in blood.
I ask is there anything wrong
he says no,
the food here's pretty good ..

collapsed amongst streets  
he had known all his life  
this would be how it ends ..

tough, says the    
waiter ..

clever, but dull, I'm afraid ..

and if samuel johnson was to  
write 'lives of the poets' today he'd be  
hard pushed to find  
something of interest to say ..

why do the statues never move ..

why do the statues never move  
you, with your critical eye,
seeing only a dead general upon a horse,

or maybe some long dismissed
politician, I dunno why, but you're very
literal, of course ..

no escape ..

a head full of clouds  
occasionly they break  
but when they do it just    
rains ..

everything's wrong ..

the ducks on the pond this morning  
provide one with a little escape  
from the quite possibly not so great beyond  
a mistake ..

I can't think ..

like lightening in the sky
I see only in flashes
before the darkness and the  
thunder closes in ..

just passing the time ..

in the library looking
for a book that might
not have been written yet
it's well worth a look ..

oh, not another bloated, blonde liar ..

the only uncertainty over brexit is    
how much of the country it wrecks;          
laughingly, I thought, you'll be voting for    
boris johnson as prime minister next ..

the down trodden path ..

all I did generally occurred in the past,
since at present I'm doing nothing at all;
then again, in the future I'll most likely be
dead, ah the life of a well trodden fool ..
