Nothing is there now
Except the certainty
The absolute meaning of nothing at all
Nothing should be certain
Nothing should be certain
Is itself worthy of repetition
Is itself worthy of dwelling upon
Take a few moments longer to ponder
Accept the certainty
Welcome the faint new light shining
Is itself worthy of repetition
Yes, so so worth looking again
Nothing is there now
Welcome the faint new light shining
A smile which tries to say I love you
An enigma, of the enigmatic kind
An enigma, of the enigmatic kind
Yes, so so worth looking again
If you have read any or all of those books
Take a few moments longer to ponder
The absolute meaning of nothing at all
A smile which tries to say I love you
Is itself worthy of dwelling upon
If you have read any or all of those books
Most days I would try to write a poem; it is a practice, as I suppose is meditation, or smiling, or watching the world go by

Taking time to just be

Cube 5: Front, right, back, top, left, bottom
Sat at the bar
On a bar stool
Waiting for a taxi
Waiting for a woman
A woman who recently telephoned
Waiting for a taxi
To ask if she ought to come over
Yes, she asked, did she ought to come over
Of course you said yes
With a hint of delirium you said yes
To ask if she ought to come over
Yes, yes; yes, absolutely you should come over
Sat at the bar
Now somewhat excited
A woman who recently telephoned
Of course you said yes
Now somewhat excited
On a bar stool
With a hint of delirium you said yes
Indeed spilling over with excitement
Waiting for a woman
Indeed spilling over with excitement
Yes, she asked, did she ought to come over
Yes, yes; yes, absolutely you should come over
On a bar stool
Waiting for a taxi
Waiting for a woman

Cube 5: Bottom, front, right, back, top, left
One white house
On one long road
One closed door
The one, who is now unapproachable, was abroad
One intense summer
One new-life louse
One spiritual destiny
One white house
From one tourniquet
One spiritual destiny
Sold for eternity
One closed door
To one line dance
In a life of chance
Sold for eternity
The one, who is now unapproachable, was abroad
One intense summer
One lost soul doing a runner
From one tourniquet
To one line dance
One lost soul doing a runner
One new-life louse
In a life of chance
On one long road
On one long road
One closed door
The one, who is now unapproachable, was abroad
One intense summer
One new-life louse
One spiritual destiny
One white house
From one tourniquet
One spiritual destiny
Sold for eternity
One closed door

In a life of chance
Sold for eternity

One intense summer
One lost soul doing a runner
From one tourniquet
To one line dance
One lost soul doing a runner
One new-life louse
In a life of chance
On one long road

Cube 5: Left, bottom, front, right, back, top
The red telephone box is gone
Only a small square
Of flattened tar-macadam remains
Of those cross-channel love conversations
Someone once told me
Of those cross-channel love conversations
Where the calf acts as a second heart
Pumping blood around the body
Should either of these stories be true
Only a small square
Of remains would be a fine thing
Someone once told me
A place for a fountain
Of remains would be a fine thing
A place for a patch of freesias
Where the calf acts as a second heart
A scent, a memory of skin on skin
Of flattened tar-macadam remains
A place for a patch of freesias
Pumping blood around the body
Should either of these stories be true
The red telephone box is gone
A place for a fountain
A scent, a memory of skin on skin
Only a small square
Of flattened tar-macadam remains
Of those cross-channel love conversations
Someone once told me
Of those cross-channel love conversations
Where the calf acts as a second heart
Pumping blood around the body
Should either of these stories be true

Pumping blood around the body
Should either of these stories be true
The red telephone box is gone
A place for a fountain
A scent, a memory of skin on skin
