Charlie Brooker
When you look into
The oft talked about
Black mirror
Depending on the light
Your face seems thinner
Your features sharpen
Your eyes fill in dark
Like a cute super villain
Not one of them that
Lurks in the park.

Comparatively Speaking.

Comparatively Speaking.
They could stymie
All Hip Hoppers
Dittyists
And poets
By banning the word LIKE
You can still make comparisons
You just can't ride on that bike.

Immortality

Immortality
eyes speak
she feel his gaze,
he feels her–
silent admiration.
"why not confess?"
cupid sighs,
but god only smiles,
"some love is made
to be felt,
not said."
May be, they are not coward or scared;
it’s just their love language....;)

The Hill.

The Hill.
They say it's all downhill from here
Is that in mind or in body?
As the track disappears
Into the mist
Like a mountain railway
In a photo of the grand gallery
You really can't tell
If your looking up or down
To or from
The Pharoah's great well
You think you're one thing
Til the Doctor says no
Not anymore *******
Them waters don't flow
Not anymore
It's come off the spool
It ***** unattached
In the gathering gloom
The dimming of vision
The dulling of sound
The fear of collision
So close to the ground
The cattle are lowing
The children asleep
From Chrimbo to Easter
All lives slowly creep
To the place of the skull
In the crowd gathered hence
We came to pass judgment
We can't sit on the fence
So here is a stone
Do with it what you will
As impossible lightning
Crashes down on the hill.

South-by-Southwest
Rabbit on the Run

Richard Shepherd
South-by-Southwest
Rabbit on the Run
Step out on the world
and you fall in love
Get unrequited and all turned around
Get drunk all night
ain't it a shame
Wake up with a ****** knife
Now guess who gets
the blame
You're just a rabbit on the run
Nobody will miss it
And . . . just because you can
So you take it
but they caught you on cam
Now guess what ?
Just another rabbit on the run
You say the only girl that loved you
Ran off with another man
You got a gun
and shot them down
Now , you're just another rabbit on the run
Run Run Run
just another rabid rabbit on the run

South-by-Southwest
When the welcome rots
Mar 26
Richard Shepherd
South-by-Southwest
When the welcome rots
When the welcome . . .
rots
in a handshake of
disgust . . .
When moments . . .
are swarms of giant asian wasps
And embraces
are zephyr soft . . .
as shadow's are thin
There's no desire . . .
to do it again

Incarnation
God shows he can be flesh and blood as one of us
just to show that we can be incarnated spiritually from the ashes and dust .

Marriage
A match made in Heaven
Was lit and burned up here on Earth
Someone should have spoken up and objected . Instead they said they wished us the worst

Reading to Here
there is something
long
ing through time
and I am it's tip
or better said
we are
slobbering forward
Charlie browns
kicking hard
watching too much
whilst thinking
and writing
even
playing at
whatever that is
which falls
forward
fastest
and i cannot tell
in this raveling out
while rolling
about in a wish
about
your smile
if you are
even
