separate ways

ok my blog and facebook notes and anything else i write will now be going their separate ways...i.e. you wont be getting the same thing posted in two places, the time for that is past...
what will be the difference now?

the blog will have the more structured thinking stuff
and facebook will have the unstructured stuff that makes you shake your head and know i havent changed....

anyway no need to explain...the difference should be obvious...hope you keep reading both!:-)

Sucks and Blows

Sucks and Blows 11th August 2007

So what if it works out fine?

Stick this up your positive outlook

Right now, right here it sucks

It sucks and it blows

At the same time!!

Don’t lower your voice at me

That will not calm me down

Don’t shrug your shoulders like you are better than me!

You better shut it before I assess your options

I said it sucks and it definitely blows

Don’t touch me

You touch me and I will sunny your disposition

So help me I will kick you in your brighter side

You don’t get it

Ok let me help you understand

It hurts, right here

It hurts in the place where I cannot fix it

It hurts where you can’t kiss and make it better

And when it hurts, it sucks

It sucks and it blows

At the same time!

So don’t be telling me to calm down

Excuse Me Miss

-- i almost wrote a blog entry about what happens in my life, then i got distracted by what happens in my head---

Excuse me miss didn't we meet yesterday, a couple of weeks ago
At Mark's poetry recital, over on 42nd street
Oh you dont know a Mark and never been to a poetry recital?
I must be mistaken then, please excuse me miss

Oh excuse me miss, did I meet you a week ago, a couple of months back
At the cafe over on 5th, with the live band
The soft rock band that made you feel older than you were
But happy that you were there
Not you? It was dark and i might be mistaken
Forgive me miss

Excuse me miss, didn't we met the other day, about 20minutes ago
We spoke about poetry and music and I rudely walked off before introducing myself
My name is Mark and if you are interested, I know a place on 42nd, I go there every month
If you dont have the time, then that is fine
We could make it next week, my brother plays in a house band on 5th

---i have no idea what happens next....options range from a chuckle to a dressing down...no physical abuse allowed---

Mr Depth

There are two things the world knows about me
I am not a racist
I am not shallow
So why are you smiling?
Are you a racist?
Are you shallow?
So why is it funny when i say it?

Look, I am color blind I make no distinction
The world is a shade of cream and it suits me fine
This we know and this i need not defend

But i am also not shallow
I am blind to physical features
I look to the heart
Pure personality is what interests me
Define pretty? define cute? or better yet hott?

In my eyes we are all simply plain
Rolling meadows of faces
No hills, or gullies or ravines
Just open grassland of unending plainess
This is how i see your face
This is how i view your body

So rest assured when you talk to me
its what beneath the surface that counts
That is why they call me Mr Depth
because in my mind you are plain and colourless..

Scenarios 2

Be prepared, ever ready
Be prepared, ever ready
Ready for what and ready for why?
For anything of course and just because

Because some day and one day
In a confined space they shall fart
Be ready, one deep breath and breathe no more
five, ten, twelve and fifteen more
You can save them the embarassment and you the awkwardness
do both

And because somewhere and anywhere
In a public place you shall be undone
Be ready, one quick step amd spin around
Quick hands and sharp mind and zip some more
You can smile with confidence and act with quickness
do both

Furthermore because maybe and just maybe
In a moment you can be called
Be ready, to listen and to hold
A soft heart and open arms and tears galore
You can share the sadness and be their strongness
do both

"Your Honour I Object!"1

Your honour I object!
On all grounds I must protest
I deny their right to speak freely
I assert my right not to listen

Think me a barbarian, backward or repressed
But your honour i must object
They speak before thinking
and it is nonsense upon foolishness

Yes they are human as I
Yes I am not inherently any better
Yes you must protect the minority
Yes your honour

But your honour there is a reason they are the minority
They are weak of mind!
Illogical in presentation and elementary in understanding
So object I must And in contempt I will stand
No i will not settle or sit, do your worst!

Sorry your honour,i beg your indulgence
Ten days your honour!?
Your worst is truly bad
Is there no forgiveness? What about my rights?
Just a moment bailiff and I will resist no longer.

Tell me your honour, answer and buy my silence
Yea everyman has his rights
But how can a man deserve his rights
When he will not lay them aside to take up his responsibilities...

I rest my case

A little pleasure

Sliding in
and letting go
Just a little pleasure

To and fro
here and there
just a little pleasure

with reckless abandon
and without a care
just a little pleasure

no more to say
and all things aside
just a little pleasure

falling into bed
and crawling into sleep
is such a little pleasure
