Nature doesn’t work in straight lines,
nor does life.

My action is reaction to your action 
sweet and short – banging heads against the wall.
Communication as a major problem
adults at the level of toddlers.

We play, not to tell, game is the aim
trick or treat but roil in deep.
Notion of fraction, a chemical reaction
to kiss and touch we love too much

Must have
must go
must blow 
…

“Be the input but hold the reaction”,
best advice for emotional dysfunction.
Consequence equals unfamiliar 
feeling invincible, riding a bicycle.

High heels 
short skirt, 
too much lipstick
bad perfume.

Branded clothes and mobile phones,
empty stomach from all the loans.
Nothing is real the world is a nightmare
pretending to be a dream, telling us what is real.

Long walks, deep breaths, warm socks, lazy ways.

No news, no TV, build our own make-believe.
Long night talks and heart-full laughs, 
writing  and taking snaps.
Sweet red wine or dark strong beer,
Blues & Jazz an all soul remedy.
Making love all through the night
suppressing the screams and sighs.

Before was better, so they say
I wouldn’t know, I wasn’t there.
All I know is here and now, 
all I know I have to try
to make this world a better place 
and leave my mark upon this page.
