One step forward, two steps back.
One step forward, two steps back.

One step forward, two steps back.

We can say by metaphysics that our lives are planned and predictable, though seeing the events and situations in our lives in the reality of what they are ontologically there is no interpretation of them that implies greater meaning. From a nihilistic point of view we do not have any lives and there is no meaning. So this is about my views on life.

Now that she is a Lady, She has ascended, No longer a mother, But more like a figurine carved in ivory, Which gives no reply.  

Dreams

Thin roughened skin, skin with spots, Black spots. Spots in my eyesight too, Purple spots when I’m swimming, White haze when I’m flying – I’m a crane fly, I will walk through your walls, I’m a bat I live in your rafters, I’m a dog, I sleep on a blank...

The Long Wait

I’ve done this before, Hours on a step, bag and bottle, Book, cigarettes and the urge to urinate.  The time presses on me like an injured albatross, Hanging and hovering in the air.  Cars rumble and screech their noisy traffic vibes, I’m a homeless m...

I am disabled with a life long illness in such a way So that it is barely visible. I cannot tell ignorant people what my illness is, For fear that they will retort with abuse like ‘serial killer’, ‘retard’,’ rapist’. So I am forced by and large to ke...

Space

Tiny, tiny in comparison, Did the physicist float, His capsule like a minnow, In a giant moat.   ‘Oh hell, oh dear,’ I cried aloud, As I was tumbling over, Waking up in the ghostly wail, Far away from clover.   My life is over, I assumed, In this stu...

On a long busy noisy urban road, Power lines and signs. A level railway crossing, An iron fence. People pass it, intently oblivious. Someone had been stuck in a room with a chimpanzee. But walking past, he stops at the iron fence. On the other side o...
