I said to
Hillary
have you heard
of the #raincoats
she hadn't
of course
because
punk
hadn't
even been
invented then
of course
Hillary
is my imaginary
school girlfriend
almost
she's a mixture
of girls
I knew at school
but
adolescence
hit me hard
I didn't really
survive it
did I

Richard Ashcroft
and the #verve
bittersweet
symphonies
for that
lucky man
but
hey those
drugs
they don't work
anymore
just mask
that grief
and money
well
it's gone
too soon
but happiness
that elusive prize
so
their time passed
I used to play
their music
a lot
captured
the moment
look

are we
really free
true #libertines
freed by our
Roman masters
but
who
are our masters now
probably
the phone
in your hand
just now
is one of them

we are #ash
before our birth
and ash
after death
the soul
made up
of yet
to be discovered
matter
flys
to it's
next birth
the learned say
we sit
and breath
the stilling way
we see
the shining path
look
it's here

so I'm
trying to
write my words
for my prompt
when my partner
starts to play
the weather forecast
on her mobile phone
definitely
a #clash
and of course
the prompt was clash
you couldn't
make it up
anyhow
it quickly escalated
to her saying
I oppress her
sitting on my couch
of power
ouch

twit
pain
fine

stupid
pest

so
the days passed
at school

work
marriage
death
to cope with
tears

Apparently God
has taken out
an #advert
in the Daily Mail
and the Times
I said to Hillary
HaHa
she laughed
for the first time ever
you're making me laugh
he's saying in the advert
I am the bread
of life
whoever believes in me
will never hunger
so you believe
God took this advert out
yup

I'm not sure
if the Universe
is #elastic
I said
to prof Brown
what do you mean
he said
well the Big Bang
empty space
must have been there
before
the creation
of all the stars
and galaxies
once the empty
space is filled
won't the Universe just
twang back
to it's original state
I proposed
mmm

if only
my writing
were considered
#pulp fiction
I would feel
as if I'd made
some progress
I thought
but there's not
a bit of
sensational writing
in my body
I thought
It's certainly
poor quality
I thought
I write in the moment
like a sort
of psychotherapy
I think
I am thinking

we take water
for granted
don't we
an #oasis
where all could drink
we can all drink
can't we
but not all
some are dying
of thirst
in those hot
deserts
and war torn
lands
and those
dying now
can only drink
little
you see death
come
a tiny sip
please
and then they're
gone
it's the old story

some parts
of my life
are a #blur
and
mis-remembered
sometimes
reflecting
on the truth
is not easy
is it
when you
become
the unreliable
witness
and
distort
the memories
you have
like times
when I was really
happy
childhood
mostly
adolescence
distortion
begins
adulthood
worse

I was friends with
a great chess player
years ago
she would
set me chess
#conundrums
needless
to say
I couldn't
solve
any of them
she would say
the move you
suggest
will lose you
the game
anyhow
she finally
gave up
on me
trying to
improve
my chess
that's life
isn't it

well you know
I studied
chemistry
when I was young
not
that
I was ever
much of a scientist
preferring
social education
but
#sublimate
is going from
solid
into gas
missing out liquid
phase
of course
we used to
divert young people
into pathways
beneficial
to society
sublimation
we say

give me
my #escutcheon
of burnished steel
doesn't
really work
in a hymn
or poem
or anything
anyhow
I can't
remember
the hymn
I was thinking of
Jerusalem
perhaps
but
it doesn't have
a shield in it
nor
Onward Christian Soldiers
so escutcheon
remains
a mystery lyrically

I always
hated #scrutiny
at work
I'd always think
I'm a professional
worker
I've been trained
to do a job
but to be honest
after the last
restructure
my motivation
was low
they introduced
a traffic light evaluation
green
on target
amber needs wok
red
well you know
what that means
