word jam : the doolally


thing is if you are a bit doolally 
then your community is with the doolally 

we are all ruled 
by our alien cat overlords  

so anyway there was this guy ... 

I fancied him 
and my friends said he had unfinished business 
with this other girl 
and we all knew the other girl 
was doing a friends husband 

so I decided that my friends 
were just being possessive about me 

and then I'm reacting to people 
and throwing myself at this guy , 
which obviously didnt work out 
we got fed up with each other 

and I felt guilty ever since 

in the end I moved on from all of them 
because I didnt understand 
what they were talking about 

and my behaviour was faulty 
and not very ' Jane Austen ' 
it didnt ' look good ' 

well right now 
I'm not so much concerned with him 

he was the one to refuse intimacy 
a shocking script  

my nerdy boyfriends  
were always concerned 
that i would take time away from their gaming  
and be hanging on to their leg  

there was this incredible storm 
outside the hospital 
the wailing sounded like witches and demons 
they cry and hiss 

hail noble warrior 
locked in a battle of wills 
you have wrestled 
with the most ferocious of beasts

so anyway there was this guy ... going back about 10 years now
I fancied him and my friends said he had unfinished business
with this other girl
and we all knew the other girl was seeing a friends husband

so I decided that my friends were just being possessive about me

and then I'm reacting to people
and throwing myself at this guy ,
which obviously didnt work out
we got fed up with each other

and I felt guilty ever since

in the end I moved on from all of them
because I didnt understand what they were talking about

and my behaviour was faulty
and not very ' Jane Austen '
it didnt ' look good '

well right now I'm not so much concerned with him
more about being a better friend

word jam : playing hard ball

playing hard ball

disturbance of the peace 
on the Irish border 

sorry its because of Brexit 

maybe it feels safe 
to be in a dark place 
at rock bottom 
which nobody can take away 

this cocoon, 
this womb of darkness  
looking at the damp walls  
of my cave    
in the barely dim light 

depends what you see 
when you look at the moon
when you're bathed in its light 

you might fall in love with someone 
who is young, cheeky and married 
rude and who thinks you're fat and ugly   

its the unavailability that draws me in  

adrenalin, drama, mystery 

what you have there is a toddler 
who is about 6 foot 2, well built, 
who has endured 40 years of neglect 
and with all the attendant demands of a toddler 

he's going to kick hard against the boundaries 
so what am i supposed to do 
wear a bin liner ? 

i had no fight left in me 

let  sleep overcome your mind 

actually how many times 
has it really gone well 
actually face to face 

well now i remember 
when finishing wasnt the goal 
n it was all journey

word jam : no deal



no deal would be 
' challenging for the economy ' 
without going into any details 
about what that means 

where others have warned 
of civil unrest, riots
endless queues , empty shelves and medicine shortages 
to name but a few 

sounds like a scene from Judge Dredd !

i had one boyfriend 
who made me wait two years 
and another one year 

then they said 
i had still rushed them 

he seemed quite formidable 
so i thought i'd stand up to him 

Sheldon and Amy 
waited three years 

i saw them as some sort of conquest 
flirting with the line 

if i do it out of obligation 
I'm just going through the motions  

because either I was doing what someone else wanted 
or else they were doing what I wanted 

sometimes I have made a guy feel obligated 
to go through with it

once it gets past a certain point, 
say, once some clothes come off 
then ive lost the ability to know what I want 

he has a mental illness himself ! 
and has he seen the moon recently ?   

interesting how thats like a gentle rap 
that still has rhythm 

must be something else 

it took a few goes 
because of the pain 
and him not wanting to hurt me 

he was the sort of guy 
who could stop at any time

i had one boyfriend
who made me wait two years
and another one year

then they said
i had still rushed them
and that i was ' too easy '

Sheldon and Amy
waited three years

i saw them as some sort of conquest
flirting with the line

if i do it out of obligation
I'm just going through the motions

you know what I dont think I ever got this right really

because either I was doing what someone else wanted
or else they were doing what I wanted

sometimes I have made a guy feel obligated
to go through with it

once it gets past a certain point, say, once some clothes come off
then ive lost the ability to know what I want

word jam : hearing voices



so apparently i hear voices 

obfuscating 

what amazes me more 
is you are exasperated 
that people don't understand Brexit 
then you go and find long articles and videos 
for them to study 
when you could just do a little summary ! 

sorry if i hurt your feelings 
just shoving you about a bit 

the person i was chatting with reminds me of an ex partner
who was like an old school, how to say ?
gentleman who is into stocks and shares 
or something you know ?
not suited, but very brexiteer type, 
Americanised
old boys network stuff !

abuse is what i deserve
cus i am bad 
cus i let them down 

we'd carry the news 
making alot of energy 
alot of scratch 
like the scratches on my soul 

he wimpered 
when i stroked his tummy 

and sitting up 
bared his teeth 
in a friendly way 

the person to person interface 
is affected 
so that we don't connect
or feel the earth between our feet 


fluffing our feathers 

n Scarey n i 
would close our eyes
in reverence at our love 

its a scary place to be 
when you leave behind 
all that you know 

and the earth opens up beneath you
