the four corners of a box


we will melt down.
drink glue, make some fire for you
a little voice in the corner, the left behind daughter
we will burn up.

admission


You know of my plans, and that I execute a current phase at the moment, but my studies will only be for a few years. I have prepared well to enter into an acute shortage area post-study, which offers flexibility of location, in short, an ICT teacher. It is a career path that offers satisfaction, monetary reward, and benefits through short to long term, with secured appreciable pension. My area of hygiene lapse (in earlier years), thru the current study phase, offending teeth will be repaired, and greater confidence thru no longer constrained by the usage of grins rather than smiles, will offset my somewhat dour personality at times.

my piano has been drinking




so in a few days i'll be gone. im desperate to go.
im thinking about running around in a sheet, lying on a hard desert floor, drinking sun, painting on strangers, riding to the sight of mountains, singing out loud. but i cant really imagine what lies in store.


The key question isn’t ‘What fosters creativity?’ But it is why in God’s name isn’t everyone creative? Where was the human potential lost? How was it crippled? I think therefore a good question might be now why do people create? But why do people not create or innovate? We have got to abandon that sense of amazement in the face of creativity, as if it were a miracle if anybody created anything.

50 years




"I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days - three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain."
John Keats (Bright Star: Love Letters and Poems of John Keats to Fanny Brawne)

it felt mental

decipher. but not too much so. ponder, until it shows. until you get the face you deserve. wonder. where does it all go. fluids to alter, sounds to transport.

if you've got troubles


the simple reasoning,
wisdom you pay for later.
you just knew too much...
much for the palm hungry chapter

(to bed, to fake sleep)

i was murdered.
did i have to know?
is it rebirth, is it true?
how do i get
to be inside
you

Top tip: Don't do it. There are way too many photographers. Try to draw or get politically involved in something that matters. And unless you need to make art to stay alive, you shouldn't be making art.

when we are happy we are always good, but when we are good we are not always happy

i hear voices singing


a great poet, a really great poet, is the most unpoetical of all creatures. But inferior poets are absolutely fascinating. the worse their rhymes are, the more picturesque they look.... he lives the poetry he cannot write. the others write the poetry they dare not realise.
