there is no sense in what we do
we often do not have a clue
our mere existence is overdue
and we must admit we never knew
People
Pancakes on a Sunday morning
homemade
flower
milk
and eggs
mixed
for power
hair
messy
Missy
she will devour
a few
every Sunday morning
at any given hour
A feeder’s dielemma
I dread
the day you die
as I cannot live
without you Lulu
the thought
just makes me cry
I dread
the way you die
I don’t want
to see you suffer
you deserve
another pie
A willing slave
I shall listen
I shall stay
I shall be (a) patient
I shall obey
I shall comply
I shall behave
I shall be weak
a willing slave
Born too early
a hundred years
too soon
I was born
having to deal
with the conservative thorn
created by humanity
I am ahead
born too early
but nearly dead
When not all of your fingers work anymore
I
me
myself
and
eye
always
wondering
why
Death row
strapped
to a gurney
this is
your last journey
off to heaven?
or shall it be hell
who is to say
who is to tell…

Little one
little one
on her arm
her nana
meant no harm
when she dropped her
on the floor
when granddad
opened the door
little one
broken in two
nana clueless
what to do
granddad said
I’ll fix her up
I’ll just get
some super glue
If you can’t find love
if you can’t find love
in love
you can still pass it on
to others
friends
colleagues
family
sisters
and brothers
Arts n Farts
potential rubble
a creative bubble
let it all out
let the wind blow it through
It may end up in a frame
it may come out with poo
Everyone is bored and boring
nobody is crazy anymore
except the crazy
nobody is wild anymore
except the wild
everybody does the same things
every day
everyone sits
in the same chair hooray!
everybody wants change
but fears it more
everyone plays it safe
except the reckless
everyone wants to be happy
all the time
but wanting to be happy
is simply fearing to lose control
everyone wants the best
for the rest
except the selfish
and the ignorant souls
everyone is bored
and boring
how predictable
how adoring…(not)
Reprimandation of a 16 year old
be low
and behold
when you’re high
you don’t do as you’re told
Dying for death
waiting
anticipating
he was dying
for death
he could
not wait
to exhale
his last breath
Confessions of a narcissistic mother
after reviewing my recent reflections
I can’t recall the alienation
of my children’s affections
Go Liath!
Go Liath!
be big
be strong
don’t lose
your head
or you’ll end up dead
Side effects
the other day
I got a jab,
a vaccine called Pfizer
the nurse said
there’s no side effects
except that I will be much wittier
but none the wiser
We can’t manage our feelings
we try to control
what we think
and what we feel
but we can’t manage
our feelings
even if our nerves
are made out of steel
