is this a café, now ..
I was simply being polite.
ok, so it ain’t ..

blooming heck
a luddite, I’d smash the
internet tomorrow if I thought it would do any good,
but you can’t stop progress,
so maybe just ignore it
and read a f’cking book ..

The Marquess Of Queensberry rules
I loved oscar wilde
he was flawed, floored
by his time in court, caught you,
queensberry smiled

not averse
who reads browning anymore
of his pied piper of hamelin and I’ll take
to the hills, without the attendant rats
or children, of course

early morning cliché ..
I remember her sitting
on the corner of the bed in the dark
slowly pulling up her tights and shivering
in the cold light of day
comes work
on the corner of the bed in the dark
slowly pulling up her tights and shivering
in the cold light of day

not utterly composed
I have to wait 7 hours, 19 minutes and
38 seconds until posting another poem
I haven’t written yet (and yet)
you are convinced that I shall have by (no pressure)
then ..

escapism
caught a bus
went to the shop
bought a bottle of scotch
and a newspaper
full of bad stuff
but I still bought it
for the football

what’s the bloody difference ..
everyone has opinions
they couldn’t possibly believe if they
thought about them;
but then, everyone,
everyone, everyone of us is ‘them’,
to somebody else ..

a contemplative, conflicted, gay, unhappy man
siegfried sassoon was brave, not just
in the war, but in his head, and I
wish he hadn’t liked fox hunting
as much as he did, but I like to think
“it had little to do with the killing,” I like
to think he’d have said

upon trees and growing old
I loved your leaves, but come
the winter, when you
were stark and naked
and bare, I loved you still more
