Disgusting: Four By Six
DISGUSTING
You call it disgusting
But was it disgusting
Up until the moment
You called it disgusting?
The Mating Game: Senryu
THE MATING GAME
They drew their pictures
And once so armed sallied forth
Obliviously
Absurdism: Shadorma
ABSURDISM*
We have dreams
And so we dream life
Where we dream
Of a life
In which we draw a fine line
And then erase it
~~~~~ ~ ~~~~~
* “In philosophy, “the Absurd” refers to the conflict between the human tendency to seek inherent value and meaning in life and the human inability to find any in a purposeless, meaningless or chaotic and irrational universe. The universe and the human mind do not each separately cause the Absurd, but rather, the Absurd arises by the contradictory nature of the two existing simultaneously.
As a philosophy, absurdism furthermore explores the fundamental nature of the Absurd and how individuals, once becoming conscious of the Absurd, should respond to it. The absurdist philosopher Albert Camus stated that individuals should embrace the absurd condition of human existence while also defiantly continuing to explore and search for meaning.”

This planet we stand on
Hurtling through space
With its wobbly spin …
We’re almost oblivious
Enough so to proclaim
That we can stand still
We surrender to motion
Car, bus, plane or boat
Forgetting after a while
That we’re moving at all
Until some sudden jerk
Serves as if to remind us
Viewpoint
VIEWPOINT
Standing in the moment.
Was it the world moving?
The planet revolving?
Stillness an illusion?

Hurtling down the track
Sat here in this racing train
I seem to be still

Thanks to you, friends and family
Here we are, here we are, here we are
Thanks to drip-fed and pummelling media
To countless bosom friends and enemies
Subtly confronting front and centre
Day to day life turning into Life
This is this then, this then
And this is the thought that thought it
And this is the thought that thought it thought it
And this is the thought that thought that thought it thought it
And this is the thought that thought that thought it thought it thought it
And so forth and so on und so weiter und so weiter und so weiter …
So this is this then
Or is it then that?
(A this-ing cocreating
Inevitably a that-ing)
A pox upon any that
This is this is this
Tish then
Says the well brought up dyslexic
While her foul-mouthed sister
Has her own version
Maybe closer to
What is
For who shall say?
And by the way
Is it now yet?
