smiling in the rain
won't stop it raining,
but it won't stop you smiling
walking home from work
a certain smile
that's been hidden all day
young woman on park bench
as a sad sun sets,
i hope you're okay
the city takes
all the fun
out of riding a bike
little stone
- are you the last
untouched object?
saying goodbye,
hoping it won't be the last time
- but knowing it may be
storm clouds
your threat of rain
doesn't scare me
evolution!
look at
what you've done!
evolution!
thank you!
but you took your time!
home is just
a little place
you've become familiar with
a day spent without eye-contact
is a day
best spent alone
a day without eye-contact
is a day
spent in the eyes of god
thirty years of life -
look at what you've done to me!
smiling to myself in the alley-ways
thirty years of life
thirty years of realising
the cheerful sadness
thirty years of life
on this evil, cruel world
- i love my life
thirty years of life
thirty years of guilt
thirty years of luck
thirty years of life
- now what?
b-grade celebrity
you look so happy playing pool
in this shitty, little bar
drinking at the bar
an hour late for a cello recital
- i'm at peace
poetry -
stolen by wankers,
found by wankers
no smile
simply says
i'm happy
thirty years old
where am i?
how did i get here?
to realise the real world
alone, thirsty and tired
- coming down
at the bar alone
- equipped with three songs
lined up on the jukebox
after-dark train
fluorescent lights
and dark stockings
my life
questioned by many
answered by none
life is beautiful
- one day
you'll see
at the threshold
the lonely man
looks to the sky
i play god
- i never take
my own advice
i put the glass down
- and take a deep breath
friday night
is this confusion?
it's hard to tell
the difference these days
the poet never carries
an umbrella -
the poet enjoys the rain
drunken poet
drinking and writing
- your hands are full
2pm, sunday
the perfect time
for a nap
clouds drifting slowly
circling the earth
as dreamlike peacekeepers
