beneath the grief

the wrath of grief spat

into the teeth of a gale

slowly subsiding


the sun is over the horizon

dip your toes in

for real

both ebb and flow

flow and ebb

relatively speaking


as we get older

your age is catching up with me

if we get to infinity 

will you be the same age as me


as near as damn it

i’ll dare say it you see

that distance is relative 

as you grow closer to me


for the time is fast approaching 

when the front will be the back

when the last shall be first

and …


now look i’ve gone and lost track

fairy nough

fairy nough 


the british public 

are like sleeping beauty

and the prince is the prick 

that sent them to sleep

‘republic now’

that will wake them up

a princess is only priceless

in a fairy story


fare ye well

but only if you say so
