When I was 3 years old and my brothers were 4 & 5 we made some rules for fighting.
No biting,nipping or scratchinga
All these involve damaging the boundary of the skin.
If children can make rules like this, cannot Nations?

See the pansies all have little eyes.
Looking at us with complete surprise
Their velvet petals soft as mother’s womb.
Lay some gently on her now entombed
We all need better pastimes like we need tol good friends.
What to do on Sunday when the gloom descends.
What to at weekends what do at night
Get a little pussy as long as it won’t bite
Take a boxing lesson but don’t get in a fight
Read the Hebrew Bible ,hear the still still small voice
See the possibilities you always have a choice

We cast down lilies in the road.
It’s to us a well known code
We think the. Bread of Heaven’s come
Hitler eats it crumb by çrumb

Flowers by nature so designed
Appeal to both the heart and mind
First perceive and then dwell on
Beauty truth and hence reason
Astounded by the gentleness of flowers
Coloured angels help us through the hours
Nature is not minimal but lush.
Hush my baby,Hush my baby hush.
A Man from Mars would love the flowers so lush
The rambling rose the roses in a bush.
Delphiniums,foxgloves,herbs to make men blush
See the baby blackbird and the thrush.

I hear now they have kicked Love down the road.
They won’t pay the price, the cock has crowed

The government kicked the can across the road
Destroyed the home of Alfred my pet toad.
If only Alfred lived inside the house .
Never would he suffer such a bounce.
Alas he speaks no English though he’s bright.
I don’t know yet if adult toads can bite
Only one pillow on my bed
I knew then that my love was dead
Only one cup and only one spoon
The gramophone playing only one tune.
More than one tear ran down my face.
I live now in an empty place

Paradoxically, allowing yourself to be unhappy will make you happy.
I wish I were at Whitby by your side
From the Abbey Steps we saw the.whole
The sound of gulls aswirling round our minds
The atmosphere of Yorkshire blunt and kind
Salty air,the North Sea,winds that groan
I wish I were at Whitby by your side
See the children taking donkey rides
The fishermen look anxious , happy, worn,
The sound of gulls is swirling round my mind
From Saltburn,Staithes to Bempton bold cliffs rise
Then Bridlingon where Hockney was a boy
I wish I were at any by your side
The two weeks break seemed long when we arrived
Now all my past seems like an old map torn
The sound of gulls is calling you to mind
To be in Whitby and to be alone
The pie shop’s open yet I feel forlorn
I wish we were at Whitby side by side
The sun and air, I dream into your mind


Mary had a good sleep and after waking stretched like a cat, slowly and long
She phoned Annie.
Who is this,Annie asked?
It’s me Mary.
You don’t sound like Mary
Don’t you store numbers on your phone.
I have enough storage problems without keeping numbers.My wardrobes are packed
You don’t need a wardrobe, they are stored on the phone
Well the phone is too small to put much into it and I can’t see a little door to open
Good grief! Don’t you know the phone has a memory?
Don’t tell me they have brains
So do they have minds? What will they think of me after hearing what I say? j hope they can’t speak
For goodness sake get back into bed and get out on the other side.i don’t need all this in the morning.
Tough.You can’t control me.
Goodbye
Should we write in form to make a shape
Or let our minds run free, associate?
Such tangled webs within the mind are draped
Oh, to run as free as antelopes
But from sharp tigers noone will escape
Can we control , disarm within a shape?
Love’s enacted falsely , making rape
Inside our hearts shall we recover hope?
Such tangled webs the curtained mind creates
Round the marbled minds we half dazed traipse
Wherever we go hunting, we’re too late
Can we control our fear within a shape?
Collapsing faith cracks , can we concentrate
Or from the deal , do we dissociate?
Such tangled webs of mind make ripe our hate
Now sex compels but will can’t procreate
Can kindness smile and friendship instigate?
Should we write in form when we love shape?
Our mingled maps of mind might alter fate
He’s the type who hits himself on the head with a large wine bottle and then complains abour flying glass.
He’s the sort who swears at women when he’s happy and swears at them when he’s angry.And when he’s depressed he curses at himself which is much worse.
So I said to him,you need a change and he hit ME on the head with an empty bottle and complained t about the splinters getting in his heart.
So I said,you don’t need to break the bottle,just take the cork out.Then he said I was too bold and bright for a woman.
So I laid him on the bed and took out his splinters with my tweezers.
I stitched him up completely…he’ll be fine in a few weeks time when the cuts are all healed.
Meanwhile he’s resting in the cat’s basket.And the cat is in bed with me.Well,I thought he was a cat at first…turns out to be my ex… he still had a door key.
He said,what’s going on?There’sa man in a casket.
I said,No, he’s in a basket…
So he said,how big is your cat.
I showed him a photo.
That’s no cat it’s a cheetah,he informed me.
Just like you,I said naughtily
So he took the fence and ran away too sea…I hope it floats.
He ought to join the navy but he wore bottle green.
Why are bottle green,I wonder
And I l ike blue glass though not in shards.
So now the cat sleeps in a cot with its kittens… and feeds them all on demand and me as well.
That’s a saving gr

If you are judgemental about others they will return the compliment In addition you also judge yourself.And you are harsh.

I’m so shy I wear a colander over my mask.
I’m so shy I met my husband on line then married online
We are not sure whether we can have sex on line.
I am so shy I did not breast feed my child.I had IVF as my husband has HIV
Now we hope to meet as his sperm don’t like being posted online.
I am so shy I never have a bath naked .
I am so shy my startle reflex gave me angina
What use is fight or flight when you are having a heart attack?
I am so shy I wear an eye mask and a face mask. But I can hear you.
Why don’t they make head masks?
Oh I am so fed up being alone
Well it is your own fault for being so introverted.
Please don’t get angry with me
Why shouldn’t I, you are pathetic.
If so why are you here?
Well I love you
Oh don’t be distressed by my ingratitude.i was born dim.
But you can talk.
Stop arguing
Don’t tell me what to say.
I am only trying to help you.
To the loony bin.
Why,are you seeing things?
Have you seen them too?
Yes, it’s the Government.
Why are they here?
To drive us mad.
We are mad at already
Yes it is too boring
So let’s have therapy
With whom,?
If we get visions we may see Freud.
Does he speak English?
In my dreams.
You are so clever
How do you know?
I am the same!

Do certain daily sounds trigger an over-the-top emotional reaction, but yet don’t seem to bother anyone else?
This is the case with misophonia — a strong dislike or hatred of specific sounds.
Misophonia is a disorder in which certain sounds trigger emotional or physiological responses that some might perceive as unreasonable given the circumstance. Those who have misophonia might describe it as when a sound “drives you crazy.” Their reactions can range from anger and annoyance to panic and the need to flee. The disorder is sometimes called selective sound sensitivity syndrome.
Individuals with misophonia often report they are triggered by oral sounds — the noise someone makes when they eat, breathe, or even chew. Other adverse sounds include. keyboard or finger tapping or the sound of windshield wipers. Sometimes a small repetitive motion is the cause — someone fidgets, jostles you, or wiggles their foot.
Similarly, people with misophonia also say they often react to the visual stimuli that accompanies sounds, and may also respond intensely to repetitive motions. Researchers believe that those with misophonia may already have issues with how their brains filter sounds and that one of the features of “misophonic sounds” may be their repetitive noise. That repetition then exacerbates the other auditory sounds

Mary realised her voice was louder than most when people took out their hearing aids when she talked to them
But was she right?
There are alternatives explanations such as people were not interested in Wittgenstein but in the cost of living
She did find her booming voice useful when phoning doctors,
Why had her voice got louder as she aged? Could her doctor have given her testosterone instead of oestrogen?
Off she went to meet her doctor on Zoom
Oh,my God her GP shouted.
When you said you were an 85 year old mathematician I assumed you were a man but your voice was feminine hence I gave you male hor.mones to deepen it and make it more authoriative
Why don’t you change your gender ? he continued
I don’t feel like a màñ
How do you know how men feel ?
They have felt me in bed with an urgency that surprised me
If you tell them you are trans they won’t feel you anymore
Unless they are gay
And so say all of us


Don’t make any more insinuations in the theatre.
Can’t you get a dictionary?
Why, are my incisions harmful,?
Yes,the cutting remarks and the sarcasm masquerading as irony .
My that’s good.For nothing

Loneliness, the word’s not strong enough
For widows and their masculine counterparts.
Ripped in half, that’s more the phrase; like, tough.
No arms left now, that never will rebuff.
No eager lips which whispering love impart
Loneliness, the word’s not strong enough
People say, of course, the going’s rough
The coming’s gone and nothing shall gestate
Ripped in half, that’s more the phrase; like, tough.
Never more to share cartoons and laughs.
Never more to be a chosen mate
Loneliness, the word’s not wrong enough.
Did we know the heart of what we had?
Did we learn the art of love. of fate?
Ripped in half, that’s more the phrase; like, tough.
You have gone and closed now is the gate
In a mad ball, I dance with love and hate
Loneliness, the word’s not strong enough!
Ripped in half, that’s more the phrase; like, tough.

Mary was not with Annie.She had been arrested She had tried to order a Spanish Omelette in
a Chinese restaurant The owner had suffered shock on hearing Mary’s voice and had passed out.
Did you hope to injure this man?
Of course not.I was very hungry so I sounded urgent.
You nearly wet yourself,the policeman said
How can you nearly wet yourself she murmured like a thunderstorm on Hellvellyn.
Either you wet or you don’t wet, she continued.
As far as others see.but you may have had to use those muscles to control your bladder.
I suppose that could be measured but is it worth it?
No, said the man.better to use it to buy a book.
So who is your favourite author
Tim Parkes he been informed her.
Who is yours?
I shall let you know
And so shall all of us.
I read that people who have dementia may be in a place where they are not receiving enough attention,
And it’s true
I see the underlying belief namely that we are in control of our speech and behaviour despite that we know how people react must be linked to where they live and which part of their country they live in
You call it the context of their life and we are all affected by this.People trapped in Ukraine will have feelings different from ours in the UK
It’s a bit like the frame of a picture.Some make it look much better.
That’s how retiring from work we enjoy can make us feel like a different person.
So we may need to do new things and maybe meet new people to build a structure again
I meant to comment on demented people shouting
It’s not all their fault it’s their context.
Anyone at all might shout if they endured the situation of these sufferers.
It also ocurrs to me that what other people do we think they do deliberately but judging outselves we we are kinder as we know fatigue, grief,getting out of the wrong side of the bed can make us say or do thoughtless things
.
Power is at the root of it and they have so little power except being a nuisance
I notice some have penetrating voiced and uncanny crying like a baby with an adult larynx
There was one in the hospital but the voice had no individuality.They each sound like the others.
Can it be the animal cry that
predates speech?
I heard one say to a nurse
If only I could be normal for one hour
Katherine 4 May 2022

My heart is a butterfly with no wings
My heart is a Jenny wren with no songs
My heart is larger than the world
My heart knows stories never told.
Do not leave me with no words
Come to me,we shall not share.
There is no humour when the world’s at War .
The guns they use are no child’s little toy
The freshness of spring air soothes human souls
Except there is a war where Russia fights
So our happy feelings can’t take hold
Though late,spring air does soothe our anxious souls
Mr Putin’s mind is very cold.
In nothing nature does can he delight
Soft the sunny air on stricken souls
The freshness of spring air soothes human souls
Except for a grave war old Russians fights
We trudged across the cinders to the seats
By the lovely flowerbeds so sweet
I had wanted to play out with skipping ropes
But Daddy made me take him to the park
Another day it was the bowling green
The grass well cared for looked so very clean
The round balls clicked if they just touched or bumped
Not like cricket, bowls did not have stumps
I preferred the flowers,they were the best
Later they were laid for him at rest.

Why did God not give us all three eyes.
Two to use and one lest we go blind.
Whatever God may be that’s not his way
Loss and gain are how we grow each day
Joy and sorrow mingle like two streams
The living waters bring us all we need
Though our colours mingled, the earliest remain.
Two watercolor paintings without frames,
Became one picture over time,
Yet two of us still there.
Our colours blended naturally,
Now all the hues are shared.
I love your colours flowing into mine:
Together they have made a new design.
A Watercolor painted by the rain;
We shall go, but our Watercolor Love will still remain
