Of being

We don't know how to be
We always want more
more is less
less is more
Always craving for some experience or other
sensory input,
a distraction from the being,
sit awhile.....

Without so much as a whisper
sped along the stealthy cycle
Moan groan whine whimper
went the old CTC member.

none of you checked the numbers. oh well. here's some corrections:-


snap view, count petals,
spy buzzard, whenever. laze
on bank, whenever.




no car, no petrol,
no comp. but wind, rain and sun.
sweating and speeding.


come on folks

The Beast, or how not to.

Wishing the fighting and starvation would cease
don't you know we're building the perfect beast

Hoping religion can stop the release
can't you see we're building the perfect beast

Perhaps technology would lubricate and grease
is no one aware of the perfect beast

Or even politics could help us to police...
its almost complete, we've built the perfect beast

We've constructed it carefully over a very long time
and so you see were all part of the crime
the beast has been made by our own fair hands
with numerous contributions from all of the lands

And now we can't stop it,its out of control
we can only walk on stage and play our roll
In the end we'll pay the ultimate price
the beast will consume its maker
it will eat the Christ

We could dismantle it if we saw it coming
but its approaching fast and running
it could still be stopped if we looked over our shoulder
Stopped it in its tracks before it gets any older.

Wake up!
this is no bad dream.

weaving through traffic,
like a bug through the bloodstream;
bright jacket, dark bike.




courage to tread
through that lichened, spindly wood.
open to finding
new link, though the footage uncertain;
to keep that balance
which is my soul.
shall take a brush, and with that soul
paint what i know
which a one-eyed camera can never show.






even a Taoist valley
flounders,
when a bully gains power.

drab clothes, searching thoughts
through lent. but the birch festooned
with lime-green catkins.

pink shoes, pink helmet.
my barbie in my basket,
riding down my path.







wearing kimono
cycling. like a kite trailing.
passing tofu stalls.




will Judge Dredd hound me ?
no bell or back brake cable.
Halo Jones! help me.

his hard-tail is blue,
mine's yellow. we speed on dirt
track; brake and spin round.

Invisible?

Can't you see me?
have I not been seen?
I'm a humanbeing!

You come too close when your wing mirror
brushes my thigh
you cut me up for fun
you shout obcenities why?
in such a hurry
you make me worry
worry for my health
I'm no threat to you or am I?

are you not seeing a humanbeing?
making me jump out of my skin
I'm on the outside looking in...
another tin box zips by so close
i could cry
why do you come so close why?
theres lots of room for us all on here.

Ticking Grrr!

I can hear something catching
its funny 'cause everythings matching
but i can hear something ratcheting
and its winding me up!

Its been doing it for the last five miles
and nothing riles me more
than to hear something ticking
or something constantly clicking
like someone who keeps knocking at the door

I've tried tightening things and shaking
and now my hearts a breaking
'cause all i want is for it to be like it was before

When i get home I'll strip it
as it is I might just kick it
no I'll stop and count to ten
take deep breaths and think Zen...

This is getting out of all proportion
when i'm having these notions
but this thing's still clicking
or is it more a sort of ticking
and now theres a squeak joined in also!

A coming together(incident with a tractor)

i looked down to clear my nose
and to my dismay a tractor arose
I didn't have a chance the blow(not my nose)
was more than a glance
and i couldn't keep my balance
a thud a scrape and a bit of surgical tape
a twiddle with an allen key
and the bike and me
were doing it again
but not with much glee

feeling like a fool, not very cool
we carried on to lunch after the crunch
where we proceeded to munch
and talk intractably!

almond scent and fried sardines;
frog-hopping hard-tails.

Oh the cycle path is frightful

But the road is so delightful

And since we've no place to go

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!


this war doesn't show signs of stopping

And I'm on my bike getting some shopping

my LED lights are not turned way down low

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
