I knew today would be different
when I awoke dead
With no one left to mourn
my passing
So I poisoned the city water with my corpse
so they would die too
Then the angels sang in celebration
But all I could do was smile

Not ready
Surprise falls easily
Shadows on my thoughts
make me feel hazy
If a door was open
I would not walk into walls so frequently
The future is clear
it is just a reflection of yesterday
and once again
I am not ready
17 July /2018 Vista, Adelaide, Australia
It is a failure of evolution
that the most talented die young
and we are left
with the dregs of humanity
who burden us with their boring shit
for far too long
