Study in black
Round and round
down and down
the abyss beckons.
Dark and darker
round and rounder
falling
free falling
no soft landing.
Sickness, motion sickness
pain without gain
tumbling to oblivion.

Þy curious – letter þorn
Is it a P or is it a Y?
Or is it simply neither?
Ye old word of Anglo
and Norse is the
rather than ye
Th, th, th goes the þ
that is not a P,
the y that is
not a Y.
What would one
have asked for
on Blockbuster?
“I’ll have a
thorn please Bob”?

Heads or tails (BPFMP Nº5)
Wishing well are you for real?
I threw a coin into the murky depths
Plop!
Eyes shut tight and fists clenched in hope
I made a wish
I am sure that when most people
Make a wish
They wish for:
Vast fortunes or good health
Frustrated men for beautiful women
Visa versa
But being of a ‘foolish’ nature
I decided not to be so selfish
Unless of course
Wishing for:
Universal peace, freedom
Equality and food for all
Is being selfish
Because it would make me happy
It would make millions happy
I can see slogans saying
“Love Rules OK”
As i wait for a bus
The bus arrives
Someone stands on my foot
In a race for seats
My heart cries

Times four
May the fourth be with you,
as the old joke goes.
Yet I still need to say it.
Perhaps because,
or because perhaps,
like Skywalker I believe that,
eventually good will out.
