Why are. doctors a topic of glee
Cutting us up and it’s free
No we pay our income tax
Try to impart the facts
We pay to ensure our new knee

Why are. doctors a topic of glee
Cutting us up and it’s free
No we pay our income tax
Try to impart the facts
We pay to ensure our new knee

The doctor told me to relax
And to stop learning so many facts
So now I write fantasy
I Joke about empathy.
My morals are getting more lax

I am going to feel very angry
Will he let you?
I feel intense hatred for my wife
That’s very kind of you
I feel very down
Is it better than goose down?
I hate my brother
I bet he does too.
I hate my untidy habits
How do they feel?
I don’t want to work nor rely on a man
Your grammar is excellent
I am getting tired of hunting for new recipes
Why not buy them?
Shall I have a cheese sandwich or a bacon one?
Have you no eggs?
Shall I take a Master’s Degree or go round the world?
I’ll be interested to see that
I hate shopping for clothes
How about stealing them?
Will I ever get better?
What do you think?
Have I got a virus as I fear?
No, you have it while you are relaxed.
Shall I take the Oxford entrance?
No, leave it.
Shall I read Medicine?
No, swallow it
I do hate the way buttons fall off my coat
I don’t like gravity either
I am afraid of topology
You are so conceited
I hate it when my thoughts circulate
Well, you can feel what you like, they are yours
I wonder if I can afford Freudian analysis
I do too
I hate clever people
Don’t come any nearer

Thank you for eroticising me so much; this is ironical maybe.
Why was I crucified so frequently as a child?
Don’t use fratricide any more to “help” me.
Please never sanctify me if you care.
He keeps practicing on me.
I thought it was real.
If you hurt me I am will not criticize you I will kill you.
(This is too aggressive to be ironical)
If you can’t stop witticising I will devour you
How many criticisms can I take?
They are free

The hero of the novel was downsizing
Keeping back only poems without rhymes in.
It took ages to decide
What words are true rhymes
A fact that to me is unsurprising not.

He played with patients and their documents learning about grief
He played with Nations and their Elements enlarging the bereaved
He bombed the Ukraine and it’s Monuments smiling with glee.
She was impatient re impediments wanting more thieves
In the Name of God, what can we plead?

He played with patients and their documents learning about grief
He played with Nations and their Elements increasing the bereaved
He bombed the Ukraine and it’s Monuments smiling with glee.
She was impatient re impediments wanting more thieves
In the Name of God, what can we plead?
Knock down the monuments give us some peace
Looking at the garden as a world
The overgrown becomes a rich terrain
Where myriad living forms seem uncontrolled
But make a balanced whole in shades of green
What I hear are calls from nesting birds
The sway of breeze among forsythia’s gold
The patterned snails, the slugs cannot be heard
Nor can the slow worm’s wiser words be told
The pattern is a natural life, a wood
Where Cambridge monks had ponds and fruiting trees
Ten Cedars tall were chopped till dead
But still remain their long striped bees
Small in your eyes, infinite in mine
Such marvelled worlds can’t be designed

Most of our bodily functioning is controlled by our Unconscious mind.
Our dreams are composed by some genius in there too.
Where do our ideas come from?
The much hyped power of the will is useless in many ways
We can’t go to sleep by will power for example.
So trying very hard or worrying all the time are not going to get us far
Although it does take work to produce anything
It seems that Cooperation between our conscious mind and and the Unknown is needed.
In religious times it was
Submission to the will of God.
We can create by emptying our mind of ideas and waiting
But it is very hard to wait.
And it’s not under our control as to what is produced.
Like with people cooperation may work better than force.
When soft winds blow and air strokes our bare skin.
When days are long like melodies of youth,
when light wakes up the soul from out her sin
Then shall we know when this sweet life is truth?
When flowers droop and leaves are dried and brown;
When water’s short and all plants are forlorn’
Then do not meet disaster with a frown,
For out of heartfelt sorrow new life’s born.
When winter’s here and all is quiet and still
And nothing seems to move or grow or speak
Then we shall learn the limits of our will
for through the soil the first green shoots will break.
For seasons change and actors come and go.
Yet through such changes, life is what we know

, 16 March), it is fair to say that prayer, so understood, doesn’t work.
I wonder if there is a study to measure the effect that prayer has on the person praying? Prayer, for many of us, is not magic, not seeking the intervention of a lofty god whose reluctant arms need to be twisted. It is, rather, a participation in and a growing in compassion. It is we who are changed, through contemplation and stillness, centred on divine love.

The remedy s not terror.
Educated at the Academy of Mirrors
Malice through the Looking Glass
The puzzled eye.
The Devil’s lie.
The hilarity of colour.
The polarity of arrows
The foolishness of follows.
The salvation of our cherries.
The fruitlessness of berries.
His eyes caressed me to like two lightbulbs
They were hot but unfeeling.
I said turn off the power.
He said,the higher power.
I didn’t know God lights our lamps
His hands were smooth as silk.
I asked him what he used
A Brillo pad, he claimed
Do you believe that?
Don’t
I am glad you like these glasses
I’d wear a plate for you
As the moment passes
You really have no clue.
i saw your eyes were narrowed
Your lips were taut with glue.
it was my wife you had borrowed
And I’ll do the same for you
There’s a pandemic of shoplifting
There’s panic and there’s flu
So will the pandemonium
Affect black panthers in the zoo?
There’s a lack of awe and wonder
There’s no insight and no you
There’s only my big ego
And Sylvia Plath is overdue
She’s coming to see Lazarus
Now he’s a lady too
Sex and gender, love and hate
Ted is feeling blue
She spoke Chaucer to the swans
And they answered, Who are you?
She looked a little frantic
Asylum seeker,Jew.
She got married to her Teddy
What other man would do?
The perfect other, shaman
But they ran out of glue
Her poetry was awesome
In bed she always knew
Ted Hughes was just a messenger
He asked her what to do
The panther killed the lady
And ate her in a stew
Now he’s back in Africa
And they closed the Zoo
Oh, what does ambition…

She played Patience on the monument and lied through her teeth.
She was aching in her fundament after seeing ten police
She was baking her condiments to get some relief
She entered the convent while cleaning her teeth.
Wonder of wonders she laughed throughout grief

When what was pleasure turns to excess strain
We need our friends to help us through the pain

Unlike the noise of cars and phones
That makes our hearts unsteady and solo
The heart of earth keeps rhythms which are its own
We can tune in to these undertones
Walk in time to music soft and slow
Underneath the noise of cars and phones
When I do that ,I Iive down in my bones
And marrow spreads more goodness in its flow
The heart of earth keeps rhythms which are its own
The flesh, the bones, the nerves may sing or moan
What is it that makes us each mellow
Despite the noise of cars and mobile phones
Yet all we are is mortgaged or on loan
Not our houses but our breath that blows
To the heart of earth in rhythmic poems
We can co-create with those who grow
In tune with what all contribute unprobed
Underneath the noise of cars and phones
The heart of earth keeps rhythms…

Rain falls lightly in the winter wood,
Dampening stones that make a pathway through
The overgrown, the old trees and the new.
The scent of rain on grass is always good
I see the acers coming into bud.
The daffodils are waving as I view.
The lily pond is lonely without you.
We used to feed a robin when we could
After Mass on Sunday mornings then
We’d drive to woods and walk to ease our strains.
But now I cannot write, I clutch your pen.
My inspiration gives me life again.
Without your hand in mine, I walk quite lame.
The dampness on my face is tears, not rain
In the afternoon they iron our clothes
Then the bedsheets, comfort for our toes .
They give us cups of tea and watch us drink
So we can’t complain they gave us ink.
Some days I have apple juice instead
They say it’s quite ok to wet the bed.
I wonder how they dry these cotton sheets.
We dried ours on lines in our backstreet
Now there are no back streets any more
We had a water closet by the door

I was your chosen sacrifice.your Christ.
I did not deny you even twice
Hands drenched in blood
Who could allow theirself to know
( Oh crucifix of wood.)
What the murdered faces show?
(oh crown of thorns,)
Oh sacred heart torn
The baby was born

Ukraine
Chernobyl
Babi Yar
Kyiv
Children
Shell
This is not a War this is genocide.
Babi Yar
Ravine of mass murder
Come
Come
Come
Original Sin
Psychosis
Psychopathy?
Can any explanation be meaningful
What is meaning?
Hitler was in some sense a Catholic
Evil. grinning behind the hospital
25 premature babies
Orphans
Bombs
To Putin the other is not a person
But how do we act?
Are we people to each other?
Why did Jesus feed the five thousand?
To prevent them eating his celery and tomatoes
Why did Jesus like fishing?
He often caught a compliment.
Why did he cross the road?
The road was flatter on the other side.
Was Jesus an Athlete?
No,he was a Jew.
Was he not Mormon?
Called Norman! [Cohen]
Was Jesus very strong?
About the same as best whiskey.
Why do Catholics eat his body?
Because they hate making breakfast.
Does God care if we don’t go to Church?
What’s a Church?
Why does God help those who help themselves?
Because many hands make light work
So God has hands?
In a very meaningful sense.
Why did Jesus ride on a donkey into Jerusalem?
He just missed the bus and they only ran twice an hour
We thought our found cat was a girl
Till we went to the vet with her tail
He said she’s a boy
I was covered in awe
He could see what we never swirled

I once had a doctor called Larkin
He had a dog fond of barking
He put the dog into Care.
As she learned how to swear
.Especially when she saw him parking
