I suppose,
for most people,
writing isn’t
like breathing.

Where the living is easy
Biographies
give me the
comforting
feeling that life
is arranged in
patterns, has
structure, can be
understood
rationally, and
will turn out
all right
in the end.
Reality has a real bias
It seems
impossible to
get the
World’s media to
understand that
Game of Thrones
is not the real
world, but that
there is indeed
a real world which
is not a tv show.
With muffled drum
I wasn’t fond
of Notre Dame
as a building –
give me Chartres
any day – but so
sad to see all
that history
burning savagely.
But seriously,
grown men worked
there who believed
they had the
“Crown of thorns”?
Unfortunately, perhaps
In deciding
which memories
to keep and
which to discard
the mind has a
mind of its own.
Great-great-great….
It is
somehow
a comfort to me
to know that
my ancestry goes
back not
two hundred years
but two billion.
How could
it not be?
Half time
Species that
hibernate
waste half of
their potential.
Homo sapiens
achieves the
same effect
by misogyny.
Biggest losers
The Human
Race is in a
reality show
whose aim is
to discover its
most stupid
members
and for which
there are no prizes.
Grey matter
My world is full
of black and white
birds today.
Magpies and Butcher
Birds and Pee Wits and
Willy Wagtails and
Currawongs.
Odd then that I
usually think in
shades of grey.
Life lines
Best write
your own
biography
before someone
writes it
for you
and gets
it wrong
