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

Step

I go there

I go there

I end there

I end there with you


I smile

I laugh

Also I cry

I end there with you


I had to be alone

Life was too too intrusive

But I like your picture

I always go there with you
