Holes in the House

How cold is the house when there's no windows? So bloody cold! We had new windows done and so it was like living in a giant block of Swiss cheese ('cause of the holes). Well it all got done yesterday - and a new front door - and now the kitchen's getting a 'makeover' and it looks like a construction site, which is all I saw of the city 2 months ago. I'm living off Cup-a-Soup's and coffee.

I'm off work for about a week and a half starting friday, and Halloween is next week. I was going to go on a tour of haunted places but that was booked up, so we'll prob go get drunk round town. On the 2nd Nov I'm going to a Frank Turner gig. (He's an acoustic musician, look him up). But it's just time to get away from work; the early starts are driving me mad.

I haven't written anything in a while. I just haven't had the energy. I'm falling behind. I don't even read that much anymore. I've started and not finished 3 books because I got bored of them. I have a low attention span, you see. I'm far too easily distracted.

My dad died on Sunday. In his house. Prob drank himself to death. Don't know when the funeral is, but I'll be carrying the coffin. What's that? A Pallbearer? I'll be one of them.

Notes in a List

1. Staring into space is tiresome...

2. Laugh 'till you cry. Hahahahahaha!

3. Saturday the weirdos come out. Sunday seems kind of illegal.

4. Read plays as well as novels.

5. Memorise jokes. Especially other people's jokes.

6. Smoke in Winter. All the cool kids do it.

7. Give your alter ego a name. Mines Mikey. I knew a friend whose was Pedro.

8. Play around with music.

9. Don't buy shit.

10. Steal edible things.

11. If you (or have been) in a place where you can't see for the smoke, you're in the right place.

12. Smell drugs before you take them.

13. Act like the person you look up to.

14. If you haven't a person to look up to, then get one.

15. Learn to speed read.

16. Tell lies. It's like reading a story.

17. Make up back stories for people you see in the street.

18. If you wake up drunk somewhere with green hair and eye liner, lie back down.

19. All the spirituality you may need from yoga is to sit cross-legged.

20. By all means, break all rules.

An Examination of Earth

Us thousands have been used to
Abandoning the ascent chalices
They were scaling no many years
Terfalls on the island aren’t usually a subject for pan
And where I snapped discussion in the pub,
Women are generally much.
Some waiters migrs told her as a monkey
But vital safety feature
Yat-chan serves crashed in Iraq,
The traditional sacked yesterday
Fuku-chan hands tended to put explo –
Instead of tipping in 2003.
Bluster when the subject of the primate barmen
Located and stimulated bar north of Tokyo,
100m (300ft.) lorious sunshine
The ice snapped and could not save
And then the cord its load of ice at (14in) of rain
And who has 12 this Summer?
To the right lining of the horizon
Early Autumn continued up before some of the past
And escaping to small weather.
Children are top RAF commanders,
About their parents cules aircraft needed
But acted only –
One in five young men dies when a plan
Their parents have, fresh evidence confirm the past,
Children think their sive suppressant foam
Ther parents are still taking tanks in 2002.
Fought along narcotics seemed in battles over 200
Thirds of parents tremendous and his bout the effect
Restores the honour and children, the survey soldiers
Whose faith drugs and alcohol
Majestey’s armed forces showed.
To Emperor Akhito, who lives love honey is now selling one,
The moat is separated from the generation
The world isn’t surprised;
Poor summer generation of the stream of fast winds
Only one in ten which blocked war
Lebrities taking Southern Europe ‘cool.’
The first half at Sept addicted months rain 8.2cm.
Frozen on camera the most vulnerable
Narrowly escaped potential solution.
Battle the air which is just
Settle in Britain. The way we like it.
British troops focusing on our Winter.
Dead Ghurka brought away we’re starting
In the wings with an event that is
To reduce risk is guaranteed to be super.
Tactical analysis cool, super early:
Farm and a model taken drugs
A cow in ten of those
A hot knife is young people
Spend up to a month work
63 year drugs more complex designs
Fairly easy say today’s par-temperature controlled studio.
Must maintain a face uninvited inside the grounds
This butter artist deserves a date with the Lord High Executioner.
The Imperial Palace smaller in Tokyo,
Visitors to an artist failed to demonstrate,
Studio could forgive country.
I can’t believe it is wounded Falklands,
Before 1997 night out on Saturday night
Strong ties instantly while her friend dies later.
A jealous woman tried to kill a British artist,
While crossing herself by drinking acid at a wedding
Moving to New York slashed her wrists
Hit by two taxies three months after.
Crowd of onlookers high over Britain
The season was blamed on a jet
An ironic weather from the warm week
A policeman who saw cow riding a motorbike
And a girl lying in bed
Cool enough, but it was unlikely.

Pass the Time

Tell me now tell me now
How long am I going to stand your evil ways?
Tell me now (9:31):
Babes built out of blocks,
And the village just for you.

Tell me now
Except at night on the real town
We make ourselves come true:
Tell me now we can
Try we wait
And complain;
And if only we made the move
Before the darkness folded.
If only, tell me now,

That freedom’s just a word,
You know, and
To stay healthy you eat nothing, don’t you?

Let’s see if we can attract some hatred.
You know we never win at this,
Just make the poems come true.

And the village just for you
Like a stony lover for you,
If only,

Tell me now,
I saw this fly on the wall
And it don’t move an inch,
It was asleep:

Take this season from me,
I can make ourselves come true.
Tell me how long I can stand:

(Cooling mood
Transfers me out of here;
Dogs dogs dogs;
3-string pick-up stand evil ways)

I can make your lights
Blaze – the sign I am coming:-
The weather.

The cool sure outspoken wind
Howl-
ing at the past and
Future
And the now

And finally death has stopped.

Music Envy

I have musical genius envy
Like Mozart and Beethoven fighting
On and on and on
Violin – Do Do de Do
Quick,
And on and on and on...

UNDERCOVERS
AT NIGHT;
Private and confidential:
030 supply chain shop:

Payment
Deductions
Cumulative figures;
£304 plus overtime.

The seagull flies in white morning.

Three days since last drunk,
Can’t remember where I’ve been,
See the white walls turning green,
– Note: See Dan about flat.

Piles of paper on the floor poems books socks dirt
Stale food a tower of Coke cans on the bookshelf
A mountain of nightmares
A pack of chewies, an M shaped keyring, books upon books,
The Journal of Kurt Cobain and The Brooklyn Follies,
A bad bad feeling that all these train tickets
Lead no where,

Or where these books appeared some music
About fifty stolen beer mats,

– Two Chinese men stuck in time
Playing checkers;

Over the hill is night,
Over the hill I can’t see what the days will look like.
