Charter

I am an individual - but only just. I don't want to be so individual as to own, on average --- % more than 80% of the rest of us. I'd like to be one of us and one of them along with them and all us others. I don't think I am very different to any other humans. I don't want to focus on one of my very very minor and probably ephemeral differences (that I am married, have children, this or that 'qualifying' state allowance, work, don't work, am or am not a catholic, black, white, skilled, unskilled, educated, uneducated, etc).

Without using political language, I can assert that I want my overwhelming SAMENESS with others upheld by my political representatives through the achievement of and maintenance of, firstly, equality - and of access to housing, transport, education, sufficient wealth to meet living costs and taxable joint responsibility. I want an equal opportunity to provide for my fellow human that is not based on my income but on my abilities - and to be valued equally and accordingly. My time is as free and as valuable as any other free human.

That's my charter. I offer it to you as ours and am willing to work with you, them and us to achieve it.

Peaceful co-existence is a pre-requisite and an ongoing essential at all times. All deals are off without it.

sad bee stings and a rejected knit

us, them, we and I.

there are not many times in life when we need to focus our attention
and yet we do it all the time. the rules should keep us alive. They dont.

The chance to play a blinder is but fleeting. The chance to bragg about it
goes on and on.. "i'm not philosophical beyond a broad committment to

keep things working.

Thus we do limit ourselves. I wouldn't plan a party 6 months before summer
in case i was dead or maybe at a different address.

I wouldnt even go to it Them.

the presence of something in only small or insufficient quantities or amounts.

people with ideas need to have them and give them away - they are rich in ideas
people with money need to have it and not give it away - they are rich.

people with money have no friends who are people with ideas.
They (the people with the ideas and the people with the money) meet but rarely and then seldom again...

This is a pitiful shame.

A Thought

let us see of what very large thoughts we can avail:


world domination is, unstintingly, the most obvious

but far too cumbersome without an excessive use

of force or some other political cajolement - No.

Not that.


An empire of one's own should suffice as grand enough

if it were not for the business rates, which, as everyone knows

are impossible, if not downright illegal as they ought to be.

Not that either then


something more appertaining to the reachable corners of mens souls

might make a better fitting intervention to which we could lend our names

alas, it is and we are too noisy to hear such soulful interventions above the din

Of negativity, so - no.


considering the difficulties associated with very large thoughts, we might put forward

that very large thoughts are, in themselves, useless and practically unfeasible to action

and as such, any very large thought caught in the act of marketing it's own usefulness

should be stopped at all costs.

That's it. 

What's Up?

We are the noisy people
and forget to look at trees
nothing takes our fancy and
nothings swaying in the breeze

we've not planted anything
to be disappointed by
and nothing will bring us joy:
red in the morning or night sky..

we get a sense, four glasses gone
of something else blissful. Wan,
but we dont know it, looking
for something in a plastic cup..

UnTitled

ive woken up at 4 am with an image in my head
i cant get it out of my mind and its got me out of bed

and plaintively speaking as my eyes fizz darkly
ive been quoting the bible - rather starkly:

lines about souls and flesh and the trades of eternal
damnation, salvation and of course, the infernal

knowledge: carnal - of someone we'd rather not know
in that way and sympathy - for the devil.

Having mentioned it now in this plainsong,
I can evenly go back to sleep

But the image that woke me up
is the thing i will just have to keep

Un-sacred.
