Cigarette Walk

The line of trees

How might I believe

Beyond the night’s darkness

The pathway through the woods

All uphill until

The bright clearing appears

Sociology

I do not know of Le Bon or of Hippolyte Taine before him, although I did once stay in the Place de la République

The closest that I get to mob culture is in the football crowd, where I occasionally do move from individual thought

Of course I despise those politicians, especially the conservatives, who chose to name group behaviour as mindless and without reason

Instead, even though my own experience questions it, I prefer to believe that I behave as a thoughtful individual, whether alone or when gathered in a crowd

Scheduling

Ordinary things

Smaller things

A note about the builder

Coming to do repairs

Orgasmic with their climactic noise

Then

When the dry weather arrives

The painter will paint the walls

Be There

Ash is the hardest tree

And to return the cruellest track

Yet both are in the realm

Of those beautiful days

When the blue skies

And the gentle breeze

Take their turns to play

Simpler

The questions that I ask

Which no one answers

With a yes or a no

Yet they espouse

The pathway to their house

Or their door

But green is the colour

That I seek

Not stop, nor wait, but go
