I have not been to Earth for nigh on three decades now,
out here only the renegades prosper while I am
nothing but a toy for curiosity’s sake,
inter-stellar has always been there but,
too long I took to understand the dopple -
and double trouble and their persistent game of psychology.
I am so tired now, even the self soothin...

Cascading Lies of Cruelty
Cascading Lies of Cruelty
You trade children here,
the dopple for real and, mum and dad are
not to know.
You trade children here like
angels and demons exchanging souls
over a game of cribbage or, poker,
the bar tender alive with lust for profit
as the cocktails and scythe eye forsake -
‘the very life itself.’

“What is the meaning of these, ramblings;-
“The meaning in this waffle, this drivel and dialogue???”
what is the portent and calamity,
fiction and faction – these slow mundane
laborious stalemate enquiries?”
I am to lose mind or, patience,
gratitude or, satiate?

This All Dies
This All Dies
Schools do not like the creative
temperament that be driven to break the mould,
yet, if the money smells nice, if it seems
right and fattens the purse;
it is a temperament that ‘can’
be acknowledged so - and so,
‘the language of vice is introduced and lo,
they are sponsored, not groomed!’
Oh to bathe in ...

I report the theft of rail ticket and hoyae keys from my tent and i am sectioned by police.
I have also been sexually assaulted under sleep sedation.
I found out Systagenix in Gargrave are experimenting on the children of Gargrave, Skipton - taking boxes of toys into the school - each one bar coded and smeared with systagenix detriment. They are now trying to force suicide upon me ...

Where Les Dawson Were Taught
Where Les Dawson Were Taught
Sometimes, pain is not to be mentioned,
even when young, when children – there is a
special notice inside that says…….
…… ‘don’t act dumb but don’t let on!’
Humility, is something that gravitates to
wealth within human kind, and none know
more-so than those of northern quarters -
(if not quartered themselves for abundance ...

There Be An Obstruction Where the Dopamine
Should Communicate Freely
Aye we’ve been there before ‘our kid,’
all those wishes and dreams when young with
where and what we would do with skills -
living amongst the concrete, where
the occasional body has you puzzled
all life;– ‘was it really suicide?’
You kind of promise yourself
that one day you...

I have somewhere to be,
a place, a destination – perhaps a
concert to attend or even, a park.
I have somewhere to be and
have undertaken all checks – the petrol,
the spare tyre the oils and lubricants
and have the satnav knowing my
journeys end.
I am keen and fired like
James Hunt, perhaps Jacky Stewart

The Shout

It has been long in the heart but -
never really noticed in the eye,
it has been a life long courtship that persists
it stays silent, quiet, unsaid and unrecognizable,
like a child you employ to do house cleaning on estates;-
‘every misunderstood wound has one, and all
are misunderstood wounds in Manchester -

There is something to be said for a

there is something to be said

The beardy man lay semi clothed upon the Moray Firth Beach,

but the wains nae mattered the cold,
two and then, no complaint but only contentment,

Does it matter so much to you?
Is it the here here or hear hear when
registering the depths of pain upon this World?
We had a life here,
it might not seem much to you -
now we understand the laboratory of World
you have created and not, ‘sanctuary!’

A Hopeman Song
Such a day as today – I could live every day
as I gather speed on the hill,-
my sweat making towels of clothes -
I conjure a ramp at the bottom to leap
into the cool waters,
but then,
I am getting old and so,
I brake and take a wall to sit.
There as the Sun casts a shimmering mirror;

What Did the ‘D’ Really Stand For?
It is an abhorrent lie – a complete and utter
bare faced lie and said in your face over and over, again,
we are not advanced or civilized or even close
to the societies of many a winged species,
‘and that includes the dragons on periphery of vision!’
We are so deceived that ‘my time’ of birth
has many with...

These Four Walls
The pot is bubbling contentedly,
my rice softening as this shoebox dwelling -

I can hear and I do note the steam
now covering all surface known shiny,
I sit listening and note the modulation
be quickening, the bubbles faster and faster
as liquid disappears.
Here I am, noting with stubbor...

How can new life be a champion now?
How can it be his world of wonder?
How can the day in which we try be rewarded
with contented sleep and dreams of wondrous fantasy??

‘Is this all you want of people?’
Someone said something to me about ‘family,’
about how they felt as if insult upon them,
I took a good look around and thought,
we are all part of a family here,
even if cloaked from knowing each others origins,
we are all pa...

Is it a Meryl that strips, upon rumours of rape,
the Sun Dogs are high again, always high, ‘again!’
As is an Auricle a human being, so too, a hospital,

the bodily confusion from the roulette above.

I was there many years ago, there where the earth had me smile at the elephant presence everywhere, everywhere as soon as the aircraft doors opened.
I was there so long ago yet, to this day, I know a Kakai Kilonso riff that has me sense,
"he ain't dead yet!"
I am though, returned long to a prison of which they secret of my sentence as if, 'they d...
