I am so HOT...

I feel like I am
melting
from the inside
out.
and sneezing. always sneezing.
fucking hayfever.

Invincible

every time my mind
thinks
I am invincible
my body is there
to remind me
that I am
not.

Braces

like all good pieces of clothing,
utterly pointless
but
undeniably cool
if you've got
the balls
to wear them.

Watches

despite owning
a perfectly good watch
of my own
I prefer to try and get
the time
from other people's
without them noticing.
I don't know why
but it's just
more fun
this way.

Brand Allegiance

people with
the same headphones as me
are my kind
of people.

Note To Self

do not
under any circumstances
try to write
meaningful poems
when drunk.
it just doesn't work

It wants...

to be summer this morning. The sun flashes like a crisp strobe bulb, firing off at half second intervals as the trees, leaves glowing with bright White light, fly past the train windows at great speed. The atmosphere is that which you can only get when cold air meets blazing sun. Calm, clean and uplifting. It's the kind of atmosphere you can actually feel entering your lungs. You can just fill up on it. On days like this you can truly look up to the heavens and appreciate how immensely awesome this little rock really is. Until about lunchtime anyway, when the sky will darken like a drop of ink in a glass of gin, the winds will pick up and I will wish I had bothered to bring my coat. Good old British weather, gotta love it.

The Radar

I dropped off it.

The reasons are myriad but suffice to say I was engaged in a perilous battle with a workload the size of Jupiter and days with only 24 hours in them. Guess who won?

Still, this period of silence does not mark a period of stillness, things continue to move swiftly even if out of sight. A shedload of poems are racked up and ready to roll out twice day from now on, the firs release is almost typeset and ready for the world in he next few days, a few more releases are under way and a fair few submissions are being sorted out and prepped for release. All those people who haven't got a reply yet, I mean you, you'll get an aplogetic mail soon ; )

So yeah, sit down, strap in and grab a glass, we're rolling again!

Yours

Detachable

one of the many reasons

Moleskine notebooks 

are so damn fabulous

is the 20 or so

detachable pages

at the back

for throw-away notes 

or maybe even love

letters.

but they don't detach

easily

no sir,

they don't.

IF

irrationality was a sin

pretty much every last person

on the planet

would be going

straight

to hell
