Pragmatic tears of the highly functioning
To hear golden eggs crack
A born linguistic spoke today
micro poetic curtain
opens
I am a nuisance
because I am smart
I hear every eye blink
understanding each
wind source
Sometimes only
a dark room
gives me comfort
because light
screams
in sensory overload
There is paraffine
in my cells and
kerosene in my
throat
I live
the straitjacket
called
life

The Eccentricities of You
Precise by nature
Your fascination transfixed -
Within a realm only you can see
Bemused - I watch in awe
Your prowess of perfection
Unique perception
Causes my own mind to rewire its train of thought
Giving cause to question
My own reality - on all I see
Suddenly I feel renewed
Brewed from your enigmatic light
I am drawn ever more into your way of thinking
Sinking into your gaze
I am amazed
There within the core of all that drives your mind
I find the child inside
Smiling
Beguiling ...

catering life
The Catering life
It is sunny and warm on the terrace.
I sit with my face facing the sun. It is supposed to be healthy
vitamin D, and so on.
I'm not so sure, I have had skin cancer twice.
Once, I was a chef at a restaurant, and it was in the days when food was a simple affair,
a set menu and so on.
The restaurant on the first floor of the building (Pandemic closed)
they sell solid Portuguese food, not expensive, and suitable for the Fado
I like this place as it has big tables.
We don’t make food anymore. We ring and get it delivered...

Little Sick Girl Lessons 2
When I was little I didn't act like other girls my age
I couldn't sit still for long periods of time
I was terribly shy around people I didn't know
Only able to really carry on conversations
About these very specific topics that I knew too much about
Always changing the course of the conversation over and over
I wasn't "right" by the definition of girl
That adults kept holding me to
I was into fishing and camping much more than my brother
I loved carving things up into little figures
But that wasn't what little girls were supposed to like ...

losing Paris
Losing Paris
The village has been enveloped by fog for days.
The world is shrinking; all I see is our apartment.
And the misery of prisoners of the pandemic.
We are sinking into abjection, and we can´t run.
Do you remember Paris ten years ago, she says?
Well, vaguely I murmured, then she told me of us
travelling there on a bus that took forever.
She had visited family and friend, visited her
brother grave and enjoyed herself.
I had read poetry at a venue and met with silence.
I had gone to a theatre showing a modern play ...

Black And White Truth (NoPoo 72)
I think
In black and white
No shades
Grey means
Nothing
Only brings confusion
Clarity
Is understood
Ambiguous drivel
Just unnecessary
Bullshit
Give me
Straight talking
Truthful rhetoric
No hidden genda
Or sarcasm
An autistic
Of little brain
Finite tolerances
Dreading the mass avalanche
Of normal people
In black and white
No shades
Grey means
Nothing
Only brings confusion
Clarity
Is understood
Ambiguous drivel
Just unnecessary
Bullshit
Give me
Straight talking
Truthful rhetoric
No hidden genda
Or sarcasm
An autistic
Of little brain
Finite tolerances
Dreading the mass avalanche
Of normal people

Broken Blueprint
A push button society
Ease of use
No understanding required
Delivery assured
Set out
As a blueprint
Written by people
Who think they know
Flowcharts and diagrams
A checklist to tick
But nothing
Is that black and white
Clambering for clarity
Amongst labels
Isn’t easy
As labels assume truth

Against The Grain
Uninvited
Came kicking and screaming
From the very start
I was uninvited
Bled dry of emotions
A devil dog barking hoarse
Kept on a leash to prevent injury
Consumed by ignorant pity
Wired to the indifference of the masses
Taught to do tricks
That kept me in line
Weird draws to much attention,
Following the steps provided
Only brought more confusion
A walking wheel of torture
Going nowhere beyond the chains given
Stripped to the bone
Look the same as every other skeleton ...

essentially judged
with every breath
at every point of entry
bow down
compromise
the monopoly
on the rules of etiquette
remember
equality is just a word
to be beaten with
no matter
how you struggle
to be normal
it's never good enough
just zip it
repressed freedom
be quiet don't be quiet
get under the thumb
just squirm
your feelings never matter
it's courtesy...

Hologram
He twirls into the half dark
where a vast ocean breathes knowledge
a waterfall of words starts to float
soaring brightly, what if
"there is an existence beyond this existence
where advanced lfe forms are waiting to be found
beyond the moons of jupiter, Io, Metis"
His green eyes glow, a horus eye opens
"there is a slight difference between tortoise and turtles
quadrillion, quintrillion, sextillion, septillion, octillion, nonillion, and decillion.
why do we have nails if we dont use them? ...
