so do i..

they came 2000 miles to
be here but they were not welcome
a problem-what do they want..

but now the crops will rot and
the hospitals closing and other stuff
of which i am ignorant..

what do they want though-well
they want a home and security
to be treated like a human being
same as you and me..

i spoke with some people
i once knew
it was good to do..

we did nt speak then
and had not much to say
but it was nice to hear them..

surprised we had survived..
there was some fear too
what the future will hold..

the poet is the serial killer
asked why just one to many times
sustenence for a drink

the mad hand at the tiller
the bird and the lime

Michael John May 26
the marble has gone and
alone-who wants to be alone?
we will believe anything

Michael John May 25
you know where it is,
some strange foible
between f9 and f10

o my heart it is!
endless circle..

some fallen star..?

the future it is
the most fearful
it is the unknown
yellow with blue arc..

this marble is supreme
Michael John May 25
this marble is supreme

there is this morning
Michael John May 25
there is this morning,
a marble upon the keyboard,
i observed with horror,
a yellow one-with an arc of
blue-what is it doing there?
frozen and paranoid,
getting old-in the playground
there was only joy-care
was a future..
Michael John May 24
at this rate i thought
i might be of interest perhaps
not to others but to my self

a lost elf..a creel and a rod
not much but the less you want
the happier you are..?
Michael John May 24
i figured i was being ripped off
first by low wages and secondly
by high prices-a lost elf..

not much to be done about
that..but i tried to educate myself
for all that
see thinking is free..

you want to be paid
Michael John May 23
you want to be paid
for your work
and i want to be paid
for mine

you will not be cheated
and i will not be cheated
simple is nt it..

and yet in these silly lines
there is so much..
war and hate
hate and war etc..

this morning-it is usually
my guitar but this one was
my car or van to be particular..

there is so much to dream about..

dear crow

dear crow

a sad alien does´nt bare
thinking on
(they´ve been watching us on
spanish afternoon television..)
surely, they are not real
how would they be..

swollen and ghostly
to feel nothing
no see-no line or something
bijou tears and no gravity
with little spaced hankie
no love to take off..

post card from a blue alien:
arrived by the stone
some sort of gathering

we blended in-everyone
was friendly..tried e..
there was poetry

the sun rose and there
was splendour so
young and old..

met a black crow
he said hello..
missin home o..a..
sad alien swollen and ghostly..

i am not one for history
and as my father said
on an almost daily basis
you can prove anything with

statistics..but when i read that
50 percent of young people would
be happier without the internet
what does that infer..?

were we better off with a circle
of stones,then, with all this technology..
i,mean,imagine the peace and quiet..

i would miss youtube though
swings AND ROUNDABOUTS
if aliens were to come..
would they be sad too..?

what is arrogance surpassed?
minion,my opinion..
we will gather around the stone..

cry or laugh
what i think-you don´ t
have to pay..

it is free-where space man landed
to the gods of fertility we
sacrificed..

i will read and reject the oligarchy
once more free-high on this world
happy the feather..

you are arrogance surpassed

hello crow!
Michael John May 16
hello crow!

freedom of choice
not only for the boys-
let us be generous-

let hunger and homelessness
be a crime-comensurate with
double parking on a

bank holiday..let hate be an
abomination-boredom too..
pride in

our love and education-
let there be equal pay
for men and women..

let the huge gulf ´tween poor
and rich, dwindle-
let life be a holiday

and not a life-sentence in
moaning and complaining..
let the children be happy..

let there be thimbles
upon the street-let us be safe..
silver and gold is not all..

ii

i have been asked to read
at the pagan gathering
by the stones..

hope to see you, crow

hey lily...!

long time no viddy..?!
(a clockwork orange-)
no words ryhme with orange-

why not?imagine a future
where violent gangs roam
a strange language

and drugs are the cure..
freedom of choice, a man
worry me feather..!

caught you in the park
we are to choose
god says..

choose your burger
choose hull
choose phillip larkin..

choose freedom
violence is always wrong
choose  choice and choosing..

your blackest raven
on the wing
purple shining..

faith a tree..

but it is not..the pavement
hot-polystyrene caught ´tween
earth and heaven..

to write is to live
Michael John May 14
to write is to live

it is to give

to write is with

to write is dull
Michael John May 14
to write is dull
angel or fool
it is awful..

to write is to listen
Michael John May 14
to write is to listen
perhaps an inner sound or
dew as it glistens..

to write is to love
from the devil or
from above..

to write is distraction
maybe, the whole or
a fraction..

to write is you
or me and viva
la difference, so..

poetry is food and food
is poetry-the soul will shrivel
if it is terrible then so

throw a silver piece dude
into a bottomless well
and go no..

no..without it..universal
love and time so
genius and the fool

hand in hand
shared-crude tool
why, say people

o subtle little stand
some twaddle
death and renewel

the loving land
a quick cuddle-
her or his hand

try and keep track
like a diary book
like a distant f

dinner in front of
the computer
carrot soup and

quiche
poor or rich
does n´t matter..

kidnapped by aliens?
on you go..
tell us you woke up

with a sore ***-hole..
and more power to you
make it good though

don´t rush..don´t they say
god is in the detail
(i say and too often

i know..)and i go on
i know..finnishing is tricky
motion is my thing..

travel i liked travel
now,i am frightened to put
my head out..

memory will do that
i realize now -but with all
the ***** cognac i imbibed

tis´wonder i can remember
but with the computer and a
nice cup of tea..

i was death and now i am life
well change baby..
viva la differences

the bat cat and rat
the chinese i admire
don´t you

i felt universal love
to strangers but now
i want to **** them-

such is life change baby
old and grumpy..lol..
i was so dumb

i thought got to do
something baby
apart from drinking..

i was going from alcoholic to
chronic..a book by..it is called the grass
arena..

john something-i have to move..john
healy..how a drinking man became
a chess champion..

saved me bacon..i picked up my
guitar and said right..
and then i thought what about painting

and so on..i thought i was good  but..
therapy..penny whistle followed
violin and mandolin

heal me..save it..baby..
reading..i think i have covered crime
and punisment quite extensively-

in other poems i know
my girl friend hit me with it-bam..
it hurt but i read it..

and dostoyevski..what a guy..
from their i got into the russians
when i think of a book

some memory is attatched
and love and redemption
sonia and rodney..

his lovely mother and dunya..
mr luhzin
