Plumbing Can Be Fun

her morose mood state
a giant pain in the neck
dips and soars
like a yo yo

no knight in shining armour
to share lockdown with
let alone anyone to stain the floorboards 
or fix the plumbing

enough

no time for navel gazing girly
find the saw and claw hammer
and get cracking
use the time productively

enjoy your singularity
enjoy the last of summer
without a creep to contend with

autumn will be here in no time at all

a walk through the city
step by step I discover
a newly built world

puddles on the road
another cold winters day

THiS WEEKS WORDS from " Stolen Glances" by J ohn Thornberg

peer payment silver cruel until look fair play stolen laced reflection fades

 

payment made

stolen silver  30 pieces

peer pressure  to play fair

until

a cruel look

laced with venom

in a reflection

fades

to nothing

THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "What Is Water?" by Danielle Legros Georges: water, cloud, river, tell, casts, kite, descending, passports, heat, cluster, grapes, brown

clusters of dark clouds descended
over the putrid water of the brown river
floating with torn passports
the heat  unbearable

grapes of wrath?
apocalypse now?
high as a kite?
hard to tell 

Carpe Diem # 1827...Escher

what's in the bottle
that brings to life a design sketch
bells of lost souls-bols



 




don't let the left hand know
what the right hand is doing
same page secret

Carpe Diem # 1826

mozart at tea time
the musket still smoking by
the violin case

berlin 30s cabaret
a sultry singer purring
frag nicht warum ich gehe

in a sea of marcel waves
a tipsy blonde fraulein
sips champagne

look no hands Fritz
he stamps his jackboots
roars with laughter

twas the time
just before starvation
and the bombs

lockdown
was welcome in underground shelters
no one wanted to go
to the pub  the football
or  the hairdresser
