JUST BE(CAUSE)
Looking into things
(S)he realised I am Trump!
Time for a rethink …
Did I have a hand in this?
And what do I seek to learn?
Earlier in between showers
(S)he went into the garden
(With not a Maud in sight)*
Ladybird, ladybird fly away home
Your house is on fire, children all gone
Going, going, going, gone
India told me once just be
Give the wheel away
But not to just anyone
Don’t be so laxy#
Open the canister, get to the man inside
Quiet and thoughtful of others
Not the fly God
Nor the shy god
Believe and you will be transformed

Acting Out: Four By Six
ACTING OUT
I look all around me
Even in the mirror
All I see are puppets
Who is it pulls the strings?
The Perils Of Social Isolation
The Perils Of Social Isolation.
REMEMBER. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
REMEMBER. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
REMEMBER. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
THE ISOLATION ILLUSION
Each WE a finger.
Without others no more WE!
Many fingers > one hand.
REMEMBER. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
REMEMBER. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
REMEMBER. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
OK I Give Up
OK I GIVE UP
Who is this who lives
… and dies
Seeking the possible
To the detriment
Of an already gifted
present?
Vinery: Shadorma
VINERY
So tangled
So densely woven
This vinescape
Hard to tell
Whether made up of many
Or of only one
Inalienable: Shadorma
INALIENABLE
Strange beings.
Each their own planet.
Who dares calls
Alien?
Look around then look within
And burst out laughing.
Odd Osprey: Shadorma
ODD OSPREY
No raptor
Vegetarian
And misfit
Pacifist
In sum non-breeding migrant
Waiting to go home

“The cliché is that ‘power corrupts’ but it would be more accurate, and more telling, to rephrase this as ‘the ability to define reality corrupts’! If I have the power to define reality than I am pretty much untouchable; if I have the power to say what reality is and what it isn’t then I can get away with just about anything. How can I get caught out when ‘everything I do is right’ (or when ‘everything I do is eminently justifiable’) and you can be sure that everything I do will be excused in this way if I’m the one in charge of the ‘official validation procedure’!”
