My Love, Antonia
Your skin glows like a comical pear in deep sunlight;
You smell as sweet as the unlaundered clothes in a Charity Shop
without even a deodorant to your name,
My yearning heart dotes on your lilting voice
and leaps like a seasick kitten at the whisper of your Latin name,
Antonia.
The evening descends softly over that great Wren Cathedral in the City.
I am calmed by your body chemistry;
I carry your odour into the twilight
I see the moon beams and I hold your gloves next to my table napkin at dinner
so I can steal some food for tomorrow and leave no fingerprints.
I am filled with such tremulous joi de vivre
May I dry your tears of ink and buy you a biro ball point and some artificial tears?
As my left ear falls onto your breast,
it reminds me of your three dimensionality and your solid geometry.
And your perfect symmetry.
I have waited too long saving up for a diamond.
In the hushed noontide, I wait for the last drones of the USA to pass over
or may be it’s just a herd of wasps.
My heated hands leap to put on your sweet blue shawl
I wait in the crystal moonlight for your sentimental piece of verse,
so that we may drive as one,leg to leg
We discourse spitefully on the spiritual nature of true love.
I have more than once tried to roll your stone away
but your tomb is impenetrable without angelic help.
Oh,Jesus, another nightmare.I am glad to meet you..
I could hardly wait..
And this is my girlfriend,Antonia.
My sweet Lord,
Really want to know you,but it takes so long,I know.
I’m in Heaven..
Here’s Nye Bevan..
And Lord Beveridge..

Stan and Mary’s Bloomers
Stan woke up feeling unusually fresh and lively on Monday morning.He gently extricated himself from the bed where his cat Emile was sleeping on a pillow beside Mary his kind and gentle yet tryingly brilliant and intellectual wife.Stan took a photos of the two with his Panasonic Lumix camera and took one of Annie ,his mistress, walking past in a lemon coloured light wool tweed suit
.Lemon wool is rarely seen on sheep,Stan thought to himself,though he dreamed of lemon coloured sheep once after he got food poisoning and spent half night on the wc or crawling to and from his bed.
He flew down the stairs because he saw the postman coming and then he opened the door quickly in case it was a rude book he was expecting.
.The postman handed him a parcel wrapped in grey plastic.As it was soft it was not a book unless it had no cover on
He opened it and to his astonishment he found two pairs of old fashioned ladies long legged bloomers or possibly they were short leggings or jeggings as we say nowadays;
He rather hoped they were bloomers as he had always found that they turned him on more than g strings and bikini panties often worn now judging by the lingerie departments of the Department Stores where he often lingered languidly, longing for more love and romance even though he was 99 years old
.
Altogether the the bloomers were a very winsome type of garment…c. as long as they were underneath a dress,perhaps a long flowing gown embroidered with daisies or roses.Stan did not find leggings and cropped tops made him desirousas he preferred some mystery in women’s appearance which gave him a fantasy [often unreal] about the perfection and shape of the body beneath
He made Mary some tea and took it upstairs on a little tray with painted naive owls decorating it.She was awake and looking very charming in a fleece nightdress with robins and butterflies embroidered onto it by her own hands
Hello,babe,Stan said winningly.I have just opened a parcel but it is for you.
What is it,she asked tentatively.
Just some big knickers,he said tactfully.
Oh,yes.They are for the play we are putting on for Xmas,,,, the Importance of being Furnished by Kasper Milde
Furnished with what?
With clothes,she said soothingly.Like women used to wear.So I shall wear a pair of whalebone corsets and these bloomers.
What about your top half?Will your bosom be bare,he teased her jocosely.
No,dear.Not here…I’d never live it down
As an artist I think if your art demands a bare bosom you must bare it or die.
Well,she said,I don’t think my mother had a bare top.She had a corselet with a built in bra and then a petticoat made of rayon with lace edging.And a woollen vest too.And an underdress.
Oh dear,Stan answered sadly.I hoped you’d be half naked…
You can see me fully naked here ,she informed him in a gentle and humorous manner…
I know.dear, but it’s not the same alone here as it would be on the stage.. that excites me a lot.I guess it’s my age.
You would not be able to ravish me in public, she said grinning at his reflection in the mirror opposite the bed end…..
Well,we could pop out in the interval,he mused to himself… it’s 15 minutes or so.
That’s not enough for me,she told him firmly
How very kind dear.I am so glad you’d like me for longer than that.
I am just being practical,she murmured, we older ladies take more time to get going,as it were.And a vibrator never excited me.Where is the romance and humanity in plastic or even in vegetables?
Years it takes them to get ready for it,Stan thought dolefully.No wonder I have a mistress.Even she is only turned on about once a month…
Still there was always a possibility that sooner or later one of them would want him to stroke their backs and call them darling or buttercup or some other tender word.How he hoped today would be the day though the lemon tweed suit made it seem unlikely Annie would be at home.He smiled at Mary and offered to make her a bacon buttie.. who knows what might happen after that… and Emile is listening and hoping for a display of human passion as long as nobody died in bed and disturbed his cosy nest
Waxy flowers in the snow


Waxy flowers poking through
Snow so white
Flowers bright.
Made me think of you.
Flowers bright.
Made me think of you.
I see once more your dark gold hair,
Soft as snow,
On my pillow.
Now my bed is bleak and bare
,
Your face turned to me,flower to sun,
I loved you.
You were true.
Fear by love was overcome.
I saw the cyclamen in snow,
Pink and red,
Now frozen,dead.
Love was,oh,so long ago.
But never gone from in my mind.
Thoughts so deep,
Upwards seep.
Love was gentle,love was kind,
You’re always in my mind
With this spirit
As on this foreign shore I stand and stare
Across the green and foaming tidal sea.
I do not wonder whether life is fair
Nor whether what’s to come is what should be.
The hinterland is not a wishful dream
Whatever I meet there is all itself.
So useless are past thoughts and present schemes
My courage,heart and spirit are my wealth.
Although alone,I sense some being close
Whom I accept as guide and friend to me.
To walk with otherness is not my boast.
It’s he who guides and shows me how to see.
Thus with this spirit,I my spirit wed
As close to me as in a marriage bed.
The Messiah is a cat

Stan awoke feeling very thirsty.My, this bed is much too hard,he thought.He put out his hand and felt some wood not far away.It was his desk.
Emile was lying on his stomach purring.
You fell out of bed,the little cat miaowed.Luckily I clung on with my claws and I am ok sleeping down here….I can see any mice better.
Well,it’s not ok with me,Stan informed him gently.How can I get up from here?
He picked up the Cambridge Companion to Sylvia’ Plath and banged on his desk softly.
Mary was awake and heard a strange sound.She got up and found Stan lying on the floor with his head by his desk.
Emile wanted to sleep by the wall,you see.,he told her.
Then he rolled over and I fell out.That is logically and scientifically unsensible,Mary told him.Surely Emile is not so big that his weight was enough to knock you out of the bed?It is against the law of g.ravityAnyway,why don’t you get up?
I like it down here,the old man lied to her.
OK Mary said,then she picked up the phone and rang 999.
Hello,she said.My cat is very upset as he feels guilty for pushing my husband out of bed.
How terrible for you,the man answered.I’ll send an ambulance right away.
Mary opened the front door and left it unlatched whilst she lit the electric lights with a match.How do you feel Stan,she enquired
.I am thirsty,give me so brandy,he ordered her politely as he was very full of kindness.
They said not to let you or Emile drink or eat.
Blooming ridiculous,he told her in a manly fashion
Soon the ambulance arrived and the paramedics were running up the stairs to seee the poor cat.
Mary fainted so they laid her on the bed whilst they comforted Emile and cleaned his paws.
Then they picked up Stan and laid him right next to Mary,his wife.
Why don’t you have a bigger bed,one asked Stan.
Bigger than what,he responded academically.
Well,if you were any fatter you’d not be able to get laid with your wife.
True,he replied but I am 96 you know.I have erectile malefaction already and am unwilling to have more mistresses and lovers or even concubines.
I shall make you some tea the female paramedic told them forcefully
Well,you don’t seem to be hurt,the other one told Stan, but the cat may need therapy or counselling because of the guilt he will feel.
He’s not a Catholic I hope.
No, he’s Jewish,Stan shouted nervously.
That’s alright then.He can have concubines if he chooses.How do cats get to be Jewish? anyhow
It’s their souls,Mary said…they are all waiting up there for a suitable place to be reborn and some choose to be cats.
But how can you tell? he asked wonderingly.They have no prayer shawls
They miaow in Hebrew,Mary said loftily.And they like to sing the psalms before bed.
But how do you know it’s Hebrew,he replied.Do you speak it?
No, it’s just he hates bacon and peperoni and always wears a hat so it seems he must be one of Jesus’s friends,but not Judas of course.I suppose Jesus wore a hat but it’s never been found as yet.Not even being sold as relics.Well,that’s intriguing.Do you think Emile might be the Messiah?
Oh,dear.We never thought of that.Will he have to go to Galilee and catch fish and walk on water?
No, he can go to Rome and tell the Pope that the Church is not what God planned.
I hope they don’t kill him,Mary cried…
God will not be very happy.
I didn’t know God had moods,Stan said.
He has post-creative depressive disorder….no wonder when we look round he world.
Still they did try,I’ll say that for him or her.
And so say all of us
For he’s a very good yeller,he’s a very good yeller
A cat’s life is a fuss.Miaow
How I liked to walk on water and how walking is like staring at nothing

[From About.com cats]
I look for cats when I go out walking and like on this last link I find a lot of blogs about cats.I have no cat but I like to stroke them and in the side streets with gardens I find a lot.I would like a Siamese as they will walk with you but they are very expensive to maintain like some women
So I like to walk along as if I am a child playing,looking out for amusing things to do.
When I was at school I used to know all the places where pools would form in the pavement aftera rain shower and I especially liked one place because it looked like one big pool but there was a small island in the middle so that I could appear tp walk through it without getting my feet wet.That was something mothers told you often:
Don’t get your feet wet
.I only had one pair of shoes so I still had to wear them if they were wet.The antibiotic era had not started and so parents worried about children getting strep throat and other nasty illnesses.Penicillin was around but not in use very much.I once had an injection of it when I had 19 boils on my legs.At once! I had bandages all up my legs.I can see little holes now where the boils were.I don’t hear much about boils nowadays.
I liked to join boys at play because they did more exciting things and would sometimes let me ride their tricycles or bicycles.And they went out into the country roaming about which we were not alowed to do.
Now I look for cats not boys and watch them elegantly cross the road looking very intent as if they are about to spot a mouse or a bird but often it’s just a game.I try not to walk as if I am rushing to catch a train… that is more tiring.I like to take my time.
As I walk I find images come to my mind or words and phrases which I use sometimes in writing
Yet by some grace
Not love nor money should we seek to steal;
Nor for self praise and honor be in need
For these things cannot ever truly heal.
And onto a wrong path may often lead.
Not to vice nor virtue must our wills be tied;
Yet by some grace we gently may be led
Our will directs attention which denied
May let our pride control our thoughtless head.
Not good nor bad can track the vane of God
Far from our sightless eyes are his affairs.
Yet Faith and Hope can be a dowsing rod
With Love the force to trace the Spirit bare.
Oh,come down,Spirit,take me as your wife
Fill me with holy grace and with new life
Joke for today
What did the Jew say to the Christian?
.
We charge for quotes.
My heart is like a rowing boat adrift
My heart is like a rowing boat adrift
Whose occupant has fallen overboard
The empty vessel drifts through deep sea mist.
And in those pearl filled ears the deep sea roars.
Just as the boat drifts mapless,so do I.
My maps were drawn for quite another sea
My captain’s taken leave and now I cry
As if that drowned soul might just be me.
Yet on the sea bed mysteries abound;
Such wonders and such magic there displayed.
I wonder if it is my lot drown
And to a memory then quickly fade.
Maps are no more certainties than hints.
Between the lines hides gold from other mints.
Intergossiping

Intergossips a curious word
Two parts Middle English,I read;.
Inter is between,
Is it Latin, I mean?
Intergossip’s a hybrid in thirds.
Gossip comes from God and sib in Middle English and used to mean a godparent.It did not then have a negative meaning.
Now the gossip in our little town
Makes one’s hair change from white into brown
For we gossip with love,
As in heaven above.
Soon we’ll gain fame and renown.
A bottle of stout
I took the entire vacuum out
nd put in a bottle of stout
Now it don’t clean the floors
And won’t evermore.
Thus I domesticity flout.
I found coats and bags by the score.
but I cannnot go out any more.
So what shall I do
With the superfluous new?
I hate storing ghosts on the floor
I took all the dirt and perceived
That red rugs are an evil indeed.
So buy one in grey
It’s the in thing today.
And the visitors will be deceived
You are an emergency
I’ll never love again,not whenever,never.Her hands are always waving,her nose runs all day and her feet tweet nonstop.Is it the New Exercise?
I made a witch profit by teaching her doubt to cats.
At least tantalize me till it’s light tonight.
At last abreast for the I’s.Level at last.
He gave me a laugh and many sinful emotions I’d never imagined
He laughed all the way to the bonk
I generally lay my bards on the table before work
l left my mark on his back…..mud sticks and I cling
I leave no home unconsumed.
I’m just a devil in my own lifetime
I was left by his falter at the altar and I forgave him everything.
She’s a legend so well defined…she’s never out of her own mind
It was the fleeter of my two feet which arrived at the finishing post.I’ll catch up with it later.
Is that a crutch or are you Blimping to meet me?
Will they make my groans into groceries?
Let sloping fogs lie freely over all the elastic blands.
I let the flat out to an old hag.She had bags under her eyes and a broomstick under her charms.
Let’s never poll again.
I’ll never be a glove again.
No,I’ll never write a double negative for you.No,not ever
She said,let’s spit now..but I refused,so she bit my head off with a word.She’s digested the dictionary and needs practice,you see.
His blinkers are perfect.His winks are a pleasure to behold.
Let’s love again before the next millenium ends
You keep me mating all of the time.What did I do,was it so wrong?
Was it my song?
You keep waiting till the end of the rhymes;
And longer,sometimes.
Let’s prance again while the potatoes simmer
and as our eyes grow much more dimmer.
Grammar.. who weeds that?
Cast your spellings onto me and I’ll import them into my head with the aid of a nail file.
What did I do? What was so bling?
I have your number here in my diary … is it 999?

Let me charm you again all night
He once fell in love
He once fell in love with an artist
Whom he courted with care and with tact
But when she moved in he was angry
Because she wasn’t matter of fact.
She liked to dream and to wonder
As she wandered the fields all day long.
He got annoyed and nastily riled..
As forever she sang her own song.
She did not dream of his hankies
Nor boil them and scrub them each week,
She didn’t cook him his breakfast
Though she was was exceedingly sweet.
When he cursed loudly,she grumbled
She said he should be polite.
He was aggressive and angry
Because he believed he was right.
He sat down on his armchair
And listed down all her defects…
When she came in, he cursed again,
To teach her to have more respect.
Why are you not that angel
With golden and curly long hair?
Why did you trick me and trap me?
I am hurt and you don’t even care.
You didn’t know me, she answered
You constructed a mate with your mind.
And when you got to know me well
You didn’t realise you’d been blind.
I have done nothing to hurt you.
I am just who I always was.
You are angry I don’t fit your dreaming.
You’ll find out that no woman does
She packed her bag and departed
And he felt so lonely and lost,
But he knew he should stick to his principles
However dreadful the cost.
We all have our expectations
But we cannot read each others’ minds.
We assume we have found our soul mate
So attack her for being unkind.
In fact we treat others as phantoms
As ghosts from the back of our minds.
We rarely realise they are other
For we prefer to be blind.
We think we’re conversing and seeing
But we are talking, in the main, to ourselves
We have no Imagination
In fantasy blind we all dwell.
Yet there may be someone surprising
Who will give us a chance to be known….
But who dares to open their heart…
In case they might act like a clown.
Time is passing so swiftly
We need to let go of ideals.
We will die alone without knowing
That we can meet someone real.
Colored love
Move to another level of thinking
I have noticed,like most people in the West,that positive thinking seems to be fashionable.And if you feel blue or down and say,I feel I am worthless,then you are advised to say to yourself
I value myself,I am wonderful,etc
Now this has been used with children as in praising highly whatever they do…but some people think it’s led to an increase in narcissism;that is the favourite topic of much talk now.
I have decided it’s better to say to myself:Why am I judging myself as worthless or not worthless?
I stop judging myself and do the best I can.And then I don’t concern myself with my image,if possible.Or if I begin to I just don’t ruminate over it nor try to make it go away because thoughts pass away if we leave them alone….
Self attack is not a good idea.Yet some of us were brought up to do that.. as in children of seven going to confess their sins for which Jesus was crucified.To me that is sadism and we must stop telling ourselves or anyone else that kind of damaging idea.Why Jesus died is very complex but it’s not because you stole a dollar/pound from your mother when you were 6 years old.
Do something to take your m ind off yourself.I like digital art using my photos as a beginning and fre software like Artweaver or Paint

I have talked it over
He cooked his own goose with one stroke and hit the nail on the head.Which is more than one can say for her.
There’s no smoke without a fire, as the farmer said to the pig.
In my view I’m not a racist I’m British and proud of it.The empire was of great benefit to the natives on all sides.
Well.look at it from my perspective.
Many a trouble has its double
Bless me Father,I have twins.Through my fault,through my fault,through my most grievous fault.
No need to boast.Just keep the home fires burning if you’ll pardon the expression.
I just can’t cry any more.Too many crooks spoiled the broth and I can’t blame them as we’ve all been in the same position more or less,bar the missionaries of course.I’ll tell you what I think;we’re all mad as that hatter who lived in a shoe.And he didn’t know what to do by a long chalk.He wasn’t Jewish,which was a shame.It wasn’t his fault.I blame his parents.Definitely.What could he do?He had psychoanalysis for thirty years but was never circumcisedd so he couldn’t pass for Jewish even with his hat,beard and vocabulary.If only he hadn’t gone to the gents he could be praying in the synagogue right now,although admittedly it was burned down by that Himmler chap and his cronies.There was always something of the barbarian about those Nazis… say what you like but I’d never trust one further than I could throw him,in a manner of speaking.You know what I mean;it’s horses for courses although I don’t know any Jewish jockeys myself.i think they prefer lions ot possibly antelopes.Have you ever seen a gazelle pulling a cart?Me,neither.That makes two of us.Great minds and so forth.Well,I can’t keep listening all night.I’m off.I have other fish to fry.I’m so popular I’ve been framed.Why do women talk so much when they could be scrubbing the floor.It’s innate,you know.genetic.They’re wired for it and love a few brillo pads for Xmas or Channukka…say what you like but God did impregnate a lady of Hebrew ethnicity…life’s a puzzle to all of us but more so to men as we have no hearts to speak of.For God’s sake,be quiet or I’ll call the police.
Talking isn’t illegal, is it?
Wide and narrow view
The owl can see with wide and narrow view Focuses both poets and artists knew. The broad sweep on the canvas makes a place Where details and designs can have their space. What God endowed the owl with such excess; When all her progeny enjoy such bliss? I think, where is the snake with frightening hiss? What startling accident created this? Eagles,hawks and owls must kill to eat. No blandishments nor kindness make them sweet. What God could make an Eden this deceit; Where lambs are snatched up while their mothers bleat So God himself destroys to fill his leisure; Such fearsome revelations show his measure. …
Seeing beyond the obvious.
Such flowers
In my book ‘The Apple Exercise’ – I talk about seeing everything in a myriad of different ways.
The images on this post were taken at the Art School in Olhao on my recent visit. I am looking at the courtyard, steps, wall and canopy in the Pool House from different points of view – beyond what might be considered the obvious.
http://www.artinthealgarve.com
In fact within each frame shown here there are many different images.
When I walked into the courtyard of the School House, I immediately loved the triangular shape of the canopy along side the softer Bougainvillea.
Again, looking at the same subject from a different point of view – gives me new and exciting information.
and so it goes…..
I have begun work on some images reflecting the shapes and shadow play within the numerous alley-ways of Olhao, which I will share as they…

Off to the Psalms
The Catholics want to convert me
But I’m happy to be as I am
I worship the cat
As she sits on the mat….
Looking at next door’s spring lamb.
Then it was Mormons so gracious
I can hardly believe they are real…
I tell them I pray
As I go through the day
Depending on how real I feel.
The Methodists put through a leaflet
The Baptists rang on the bell
I said, I don’t believe in
God,Satan or original sin..
And all that they did was say,Hell!
Jews don’t try to convert me,
Nor mention that fiery, red bush.
I like the still, small, voice
If I am given a choice..
And off to the psalms I shall rush.
A picky person
He was a picky person with a penchant for piss artistry
He liked to excite women with his studied impropriety.
He often went to bed with a woman of society
Then she would be troubled by her sudden notoriety.
As demanding as a pigeon with one eye and no stability;
Although he had been gifted with a wide range of abilities.
He always told the truth in a manner Jesuitical
It gave rise to deep wounds and to curious thoughts inimical.
He read between the lines and fantasised romanticly
He knew his Greek and Latin and corrected folk pedanticly.
He liked to drink ripe brandy and practise tantric gallantry.
Until it led to arguments and words fired off too franticly.
He said he felt real lonesome even when he was in intimacy
Wished he’d never bothered to lose his youth’s virginity
He did too much for others and got stressed out by an accident
Until his control broke and gave rise tp an incident.
So now he is in prison and finds it suits him perfectly.
He was made to be a hermit and he lives his life less jerkily.
All he misses now is the ladies so beloved of men…
He wonders if they can be jailed and share his cell and comfort him?
Real book titles….by the innocent
Are we afraid of the silence?
Waiting is an opportunity
To become aware of the silent joy
Of the earth and the music of nature
Wind swaying tall trees over the red shrubs
and the deepness of the silence under that.
This is where everything that grows is born
Why drown in a noise called ” pop music”
Are we afraid of the silence?
Is the awareness there
a reminder of out confrontation with life.
See the leaves laughter as they reach out to us.
Hear how the birdsong blends with the silence
Remmember the hot dry common and the lark singing.
The natural world is still here if we remember to feel and hear,
KAI Presents… Claudine Giovannoni!
A fascinating interview with Claudine
Food for nought
I was feeling a trifle excited
The meringues were all stuck to the plate
The jelly was yellow
The custard was mellow
And the cream was too thick to inflate.
I was feeling a tart in the market
I hardly knew which slice to bite.
My heart felt like sponge cake
With jam and cream in a lake
I’ve a hard nut to crack in the night.
Thoughts at dusk in winter
Four o’clock– and the sun’s still glowing
Four o’clock – of a colour bright day,
Up above, pink-tinged clouds are sliding
Down still sky, sweeping sun away.
Come back sweet sun, do not leave us.
Come back bright beams,I need sunlight
Down on earth,it’s witch moon darkness,
When your golden face is out of sight.
I see the orange tinged clouds extending
I feel such sense of sky lit bright.
But gently now, the mist surrounds you
And sweeps away that happy sight.
Into velvet blackness sinking,
The dazzling, dreaming darkness falls.
Goodbye to haste,and glare, and sunshine,
Time for reverie,night time calls.
On the night-trains gentle journeys,
On this trackless train we ride
Strange visions and haunting pictures
We will see in dreams’ designs.
In my night train,I’ll be happy
In such rich deep reverie.
We visit darkness in our sleeping,
There we learn its ecstasy.
Now we may have no God to hold us,
In His Hands of Living Love,
What will help us trust deep blackness
If there’s no Saviour from above?
Must we enter that great darkness,
Go back to dark from which we came,
Into dark all living creatures,
In that darkness find our home?
Trust the dark unknown, to hold us,
Trust the dark,both night and day.
Must we walk into that darkness
And trust it is our safest way?
The still point
Deep in strain,thoughts all a-riot,
I seem unable to be quiet.
I feel tense,I can’t sit down..
My eyes glare out and how I frown!
I talk too fast,I lack patience
I lose touch with my common sense.
To take lessons from a guide
Seems harder when my mind’s so tired.
I discovered, though, that deep inside.
Peace and stillness still abide.
To find that place we each must be
Desireless, till at last we see.
Deep ,deep down there is true rest
And kindly our sore souls are blessed.
All we have to do is wait
To get in touch with this sweet state.
We share affinity with trees,
With flowers,cats, bats and bumble bees.
Let all thought and control go.
Let this, our mind, become more slow,
Perception’s better when we’re still
Emptied of desire and will;
Deep inside a melody
stirs our hearts and sets them free.
As for Canvassing,it’s for the deck chairs.
I,for one, will be very glad when the Erection is over.
I hate all this Pugnacity we get daily.
I will never go Whoring or vote Rebarbative.
I would rather have higher relaxation,personally.
I think we sould examine our terrors daily.
I will be glad when we get Rising Tramps off the T.V.
I don’t believe loving men is so aggressive.
I am hoping to switch myself off before the Big Ray comes.
As for Canvassing,it’s for the deck chairs.
Ed Miliband is doing better than his enemies jeered.
In the end,it’s love that counts so get out your arithmetic books and begin now.. one,love yourself,two love your enemy,three….
I myself hate the Hellish vision we all watch nightly.
Why not try reverie for an hour or two?
