Paranoia: Four By Six
PARANOIA
When you really don’t trust
Anyone the last thing
You want to tell them is
That you don’t trust them
Getting To Know You
GETTING TO KNOW YOU
I’ll show you my scars
Only on condition that
You will show me yours
Refuge
REFUGE
I take refuge in the spirit that surrounds me
I take refuge in the spirit within me
I take refuge in the path I am travelling
I take refuge in my companions on the path
I take refuge in the spirit that surrounds me
I take refuge in the spirit within me
I take refuge in the path I am travelling
I take refuge in my companions on the path
I take refuge in the spirit that surrounds me
I take refuge in the spirit within me
I take refuge in the path I am travelling
I take refuge in my companions on the path
Whoever Has Ears (18b)
WHOEVER HAS EARS
Köln Concert
Over and over
With you then
Without you
Music you can rely on
Others … Not so much

Coupling And Decoupling
COUPLING AND DECOUPLING
Power she had in mind, in body too
He also had his power, duly exerted
And weaknesses (carefully disguised)
They once so hip, but now replaced
Following their gradual disrobement
As together all’s well that ends well
Invisible Vampires (A Four By Six)
INVISIBLE VAMPIRES
They hover all round us
Tell me you don’t feel them
Be trusting, be open
But be nobody’s fool
Dare Devils (Reposted)
DARE DEVILS
Sly peeps from a foxhole I spy
Which of you though I wonder
Is the least untrustworthy one?
Variations on you taking turns
Flash past the slits of my eyes
Each taking their best shots
Taking their own sweet time
While I too take mine slowly
Ploughing through mugshots
Of women both lost and found
Tacitly playing judge and jury
Accuser and accused alike
Oh don’t make me lie to you
Let’s drop stubborn opinions
Let me lie with you instead
See us gratefully transported
To some other place far away
Yet together here all the time
Inverted Commas
INVERTED COMMAS
Words like “trust”
Like “faith”
Like “acceptance”
Come to mind
For “We” are
After all
Simply ripples
In an unfathomable ocean
2016 And Counting
2016 AND COUNTING
Fingers crossed plus prayers
Having surveyed the options
A broad church indeed
Some trust to Luck, others God
Let’s keep all options covered
