Poetry
“The colours of the rainbow
so pretty in the sky”
The colours of my jocks lying
on a bench
Uncovered by shutters
Unarmed waiting snakes
Too clean to congo
Too late to be vague
Cos reality is a disease
And all must please
The Society blisters
The eventful sleaze
Wrapped in iron bars
Closed behind doors
The sky is different
Some grey ugly war
Between insanity
And the reason
Parlours of goodbye
Never needed teasin’
Instinctive beginning
Call for hollow ends
Ending of the path
To another life rend
Yes, there may be colours
Stilled + on the page
After all disasters
The sky is still the sage
Of whispered prayers
And balderdash gods
Only in the inequality
The grey is in the odds
we play the game
and welcome tears as friends.

The decay of an atom indicates that time itself has passed, it is the origin of our concept of time.
