Three mindsets

frame of mind

frayed of mind

afraid of mind

Boom Says Blast

 boom says blast

days gone past

far too fast

cannot last

firefly

will not die

hope says I

birdlike cry

never ask why

it's not the point

the point is not

is not the point

to have a point

or may be no point

indeed in deed

I'm deid

purpose and meaning

always gleaning

noise from a distance

fashions resistance

babies are Christened

waterpoured rinsened

all hail the persistence

soaking in knowledge

lie plates of porridge

or trekking to forage

allsorts of garbage

like samuel babbage

and dark green leafed cabbage

the pixie in lot number two

enjoyed murmurs of praise from the zoo

collapsed in a heap

at the wall it had dreeped

and found it was world war two

porpoise is extnct

on ther brink

of the kitchen sink

would cause such a stink

as if somehow to link

to the academy think

or the old blind man's wink

as the champagne cups clink

surreal like a seal

bred for its veal

as the vegans will kneel

to pray God to unkeel

the supporters who feel

they need zealots and zeal

and dance reel to reel

in order to steal

the racing car's wheel

In The Never Motion

in the never motion movement potion

blender bends a Belsen blast

beloved bled before bizarre

are we ever to river a sliver

of motion

a hint of regression

possession of legal drugs

a potion of notion of peace behind lies

paper

thin

think paper

paper this papal pontiff

pontificating

berating overstating

frustrating

God in Heaven

paradox parody perceive in political party pooper

to what end

no end

DAY

day

deus

te deum

daytime

night time

timeless flight

time ticks

talks

stops

day

becomes

day

day ends

day is forever

day

when day dares daze

Daedalus

dad

dad don't die

son don't fly so high

Day becomes

Charlie's Gone

Charlie's gone

Bowie's dead

Lennon killed a long time ago

Paul will go sometime

Fogarty too

and Dylan and Crosby and McGuinn

Don't you get it yet?

The great matter -

nothing lasts

How to Stop

 Notice

Just stop

that's how to stop

Stop anger

stop distraction

stop irritation

stop hatred

stop war

stop grief

stop

then create love

laughter

joy

art

beauty

life itself

How to drink green tea

 Put the kettle on

take a teaspoonful of dried green tea

and put it in the tea strainer.

Add a little cold water to your cup

as green tea should not brew at boiling point.

When the kettle boils

pour the boiling water into the cup.

put the tea strainer on top

and wait a couple of minutes.

Then feel grateful that you are alive.

Followed by joy at having green tea

Smell its gentle aroma

and take your first sip.

Life is miracle.

Let it brew inside you.
