POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
writing poetry doesn't make me a poet, who hasn't written poetry at some time or other...
you won't be ringing, then...
we met for coffee
I went outside for
a cigarette
apparently you
found this rather rude
and you left
the note which
I'd given you with my
number on it...

Hitchcock was on to something...
it rains in our house
it does, oh it does -
it rains in our house
and it snows...
it rains in our house
and I think it's because
the plumber was
eaten by crows...

I don't know why, but
I was beginning
to think
that she was becoming
bored
whatever
gave you that
idea, she
yawned...

morning rush hour...
she said you'll never make
a good impression dressing
as you do
on the train...

"abandon all hope..."
this morning
I left the house
full of optimism
and joie de vivre
it was only when
I got to work that
I wished I'd brought
it along...

so it wasn't them...
I had a job in a factory
didn't know what I was doing
and I left after three days
I was seventeen and nobody
spoke to me and it was just like I was
still in school, you know..?

I thought so...
she didn't know I was there
she was arguing with somebody
on the phone
she threw it onto the table
and ran upstairs...
I knew I shouldn't
I couldn't help myself
I picked it up
it was just as I'd suspected
there was a large scratch
on the veneer...

nonsense, she said...
she made me a pie -
I asked her what was in it...
she said there's a fly,
a carp, a cat and a linnet -
I said oh I can't eat a carp...

the ins & outs of it all...
she said she'd fallen out
of love - I couldn't
blame her, being quite
clumsy myself...
although, I can't help
thinking, now, that I rather wish
she hadn't fallen in
the first place...

what choice have I...
what do you mean,
what do I think
I'll leave behind me
when I die...
everything...

a road to Damascus...
I overheard her talking
at the bar
and the laughter when they
saw I was there
and I thought she'd gone
rather too far
until it struck me -
I just didnt care...

grey...
out walking
this evening
is grey
grey buildings
grey rain
bows
drained
rows
of veins
flow
with
grey...
out walking
this evening
is grey...
grey clouds
in our
eyes
and I smoke
telling
lies
and you
choke -
and the flies..!
