The end of the year is NYE



















New Year’s revolution?
New day, New Year.
New resolve?
Why?
It is just a manufactured point on a tool for measuring the passing of time.
Resolve to be a better person than the day before, whatever the day.

Questions (BPFMP Nº4)














If I worked for a penny
I’d work for a pound.
But could I buy a noise
that didn’t make a sound?

If a rode a bicycle
backwards at three.
Could I get home
in time for tea?

Is this a poem?
It may sound like verse.
It may not be very good
but I could make it worse!

Unfinished business




















Business unfinished
Business gone bad
Business confusion
Business so sad
Business decisions

Misunderstanding

Business untouchable
Nerve endings frayed.

Chewed up and spat out
Worthless to some
Mixing my metaphors
Redundantly glum

Each moment is precious



We strive for immortality when we know it cannot be achieved. We hope for an afterlife when deep down we know there is no such thing. We exist for what is all but a flicker of an eye in the great scheme of things. Here today; gone tomorrow. The graveyard that testament to human folly displays its stones like false teeth; false teeth for a false hope. We are alone; godless and fancy-free.
