Steps
Must be Taken
I
must take steps
To
the Bressamer beam overhead
And
hang myself dead
Yes
Steps
must be taken
I
will kidnap them all,
Eventhe
pointless blonde one, who I am told is now appearing in
"Jack
and the Beanstalk" at a theatre near you:
A
man who no-one knows in a band that no longer exists in a production that no-one cares for in a town that no-one gives a flying
fuck at a rolling donut about
Yes,
Steps
must be taken
I
will also take the Dark haired girl
But
only because I am a pervert
And
would like to poke her with wooden spoons
spank
her with a spatula
and
prod her with a pestle and mortar
I
must take steps
And
wrap them around my assistants stupid head
And
then walk up and down them
While
she orders me bagels with the red telephone cord wrapped around her wrinkly turkey skin neck as she gobbles up my post it
notes
I
will take steps
Goose
steps
March
up and down the retirement seafront
Just
to rile the old fuckers up out of their lethargy and incontinence
give them a sense of initiative
to relive 'the good old days'
All
the better then If I dress up as Hitler and let them chase me in their mobility cars at 5mph
I
am not a Nazi
I
am just bored
I
need the adrenaline rush of the badly behaved
I
am bored with being nice
Hacked
off with Loveliness
And
swallowing my own venom like a rattlesnake with a hangover
Just
fucking ticks me off,
I
want to take steps
And
climb up your legs
And
ride you like a ghostrain
Woooo
woooo wooooo
I
must take Steps
And
reel in my unfounded boredom and misplaced activities
Writing
poetry with a razor on the wall
Bathing
in asses milk like a demi goddess of the underworld
And
now I see the eyes of my unborn daughter
Which
Freaks
Me
Right
Out
People
affect me more than they should
That's
not good
My
foundations were wobbly to begin with
And
now my tower has been totally shaken
I
admit i'm happy and can't control my emotions
There
is nothing else for it:
Steps Must
be Taken.

Comments: This is probably in the wrong page- I might move it. It should be in the lightning post but then its a vent
and i'm not to be trifled with today. I'm in a particularly *nasty/rude/pedantic/revelatory/happy/confused/elated mood
*delete as applicable every five minutes
Bored Now
Ha ha. That was funny
You do have a way,
Of not following through
With one word that you say
I'm Bored Now
Its over,
Come back when you're clever,
Come back when you're tactful
(So then, that'll be never)
If i'm offended, that's funny, as it's just what you do!
But i'm better at it doll- Shall I prove it to you?
You're arrogant lazy, pig headed and blunt,
Obnoxious, supercillious
'A bit of a cunt'
(And not the good part- man's prediliction for affections)
I wouldn't give you the time
Nor give you directions
If your mind were a map- it would only be blank
If you were a word- it would only be wank
If you were a cake- it would only taste rank
If you were a merchant- you'd own your own bank
Maybe it's clear, I'm Bored Now its boring
Should I put on pajamas yet? When should I start snoring?
Shall I tell you you bore me? Shall I tell you my thoughts?
If you were a disease
You'd be genital warts
If you were a sickness
I guess you'd be cancer
Are you getting the message?
You don't have to answer
You don't have to speak
You don't have to breathe
You don't have to live
You just have to leave
Exit- Fuck off- Go Away- Flee
I'm Bored Now
You're Boring
One- Nil
To Me.

Comments: Bored Now. I wrote this for someone who just gets on my tits with his random
fluctuation between not speaking to me/being in love with me/not liking me/insulting me/being nice to me/phoning/not phoning/texting/not
texting/emailing/not emailing and on and on and on and on- this has been going on for months and months. Bored Now.
Funny how men get it so fucking wrong all the fucking time.
That applies to all of you- sort-your-fucking-life-out
Fruit Salad and Wasted Sarcasm.
“I’m mixed race,” she says nonchalantly over her fruit salad.
It’s warm outside, today the sun is trying to climb over the pinnacle of some Strato Cumulus and having
marginal success, still it’s not fruit salad weather, but she’s young and impressionable; the excitable type who
bring out their halter necked sun tops on a half-arsed day of white sunshine in mid March. The wind is blowing, it’s
deceptive, I should be indoors with soup but nnoo, she is the new girl, today, is her day.
Tomorrow though…I take over the world and she will be lining up against the wall blindfolded.
But that’s then; this is now.
“My great great grandmother was half Dutch, well she lived there for a while, her grandmothers
mother was Irish and her great grandfather father was from Scotland.”
(If she’s mixed race, then I’m a fucking Monkey.)
Now there’s a thought….
“ Really? I’m mixed race too,” I say suddenly in all seriousness trying not to swallow my
own tongue
“Yeah, my great great great great great (insert few more ‘greats’, however many you can be
bothered with) …great great grandmother was from Borneo. She had red hair, funny looking, face like an inner
tube, and really long arms.”
I immediately shove some pineapple into my mouth just to force me to stop talking.
The seat we’re sitting on is made of concrete, my legs are cold, the wind is blowing up my top and I’m
not in the mood for fruit fucking salad.
“Well you’ve got a bit of red in your hair” She says “And I didn’t want to say
this, but your arms are kinda long. You’re not funny looking though, you’re actually kinda pretty”
(This is backfiring- plus she keeps saying “kinda” – something either is or isn’t- it’s
not kinda anything, I’ve either got freakishly long arms or normal arms, I’m either pretty or I’m not, maybe
that’s a bit black and white, anyway, she’s pushed my buttons – now she’s for it)
“But on my other side,” I continue, (in my head I’m already rubbing my hands around each other,
narrowing my eyes and cackling profusely) “My great great great (repeat x 10) grandfather lived at sea. (Oh God this
is painful) he liked swimming, eventually he gave up the sea and found dry land, then he learned how to walk and lived in
a cave, he was a great artist, funny he turned into an arsonist, liked fire, I don’t suppose anyone saw that coming,
anyway then he travelled across Pangier, it was getting a bit cold by then and finally his offspring lived in Europe, settled
somewhere warm.”
She ‘s not listening.
Wasted sarcasm is like having a passing stranger stick red-hot pokers in your eyes, after asking them to do
it, if they wouldn’t mind that is, and maybe while they were at it, could they also steal all of your money, run over
your mother and set fire to your house and all of your possessions? Hmph… wasted sarcasm.
“ Do you want my banana?” She asks innocently.
I am looking forward to tomorrow already.

Comments: Walked straight into that one didn't I?
The Horse
with the Grey/Blue Eyes
White diamond forehead
Chewing a carrot crunching like
footsteps across a pebbly beach
Midnight in your eyes
Pink snuffled gums
And hooves like giant white porcelain
saucers
She brushes his coat distractedly
He moves.
He
doesn’t want it.
He just wants to eat his carrots
He’s old-Just wants a quiet
life
“Stay still YOU CUNT!”
She screams.
She called him a cunt. You can’t
call a horse a cunt.
You just can’t.
Now...
she
has my attention...
Head in the bucket- another carrot
Yum Yum, he says, I do love my
carrots
“ I SAID fucking stay STILL”
She kicks him.
Once, twice, three four on five
I have dropped my brushes
On six she is down and clutching
her nose scrambling for cover
I hold a carrot out in my wet
palm, he doesn’t seem to care
Yum Yum I do love my carrots he
says
I brush his coat, stroke my red
hand
Through his beautiful silver hair.

Comments: I was working at a zoo painting
a mural in the Tiger House a few years back- I used to walk round the part that was out of bounds to visitors by routine,
past the penguin enclosure, round the lion house, chuck some fruit to the monkeys and finally go and see the horses to say
good morning. After this happened I couldn’t paint for two days. The things I saw there still bothers me.
