Plans for worldwide humiliation continue...

I have finally decided on both the title for my first collection, and the marketing for it. All I need now is a good lawyer. How does one pick a good lawyer? Tell them what you're going to do, and then ask them if they can keep you out of jail (hint: the answer should be 'yes').

I have pulled out of the line-up for Shortfuse on April 28th owing to challenges in the time management department, but will be back at some later date. My thanks to John, David & Nathan for their support, patience and roll-ups.

I'm currently reading 'Hotel Pimodan' by David Harold, a collection of his poetry over the last decade. It's fresh, unique and full of observations of the minute, delicate things that move relationships into different orbits. Pity that he's too lard-arsed to get it published.

Anyway, here's one for D...


'Closing Time'

Together we stalked the shadows,
of the dispossessed, the forgotten.
Alms became blood money,
failing to bathe the guilt of the blind,
as we staggered across the paths of the unseen.
Glistening cheeks a silent acknowledgement
that it wasn't enough.

Today's educational movie is dance like a white dude (parental advisory: no sign of 'white man's overbite')

If you're looking for some interesting artwork to tart up your abode/den/gimp cage, you can do much worse than picking film posters. I am slayed by those of Polish films, particularly Wajda.

That's it for now...I need a drink.
