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 

playground rules

purple hearts all round 
God is the Devil

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
