soul mama, save me from my white boy destiny
ruminating look at my repetative thoughts
turn the lights off because tonight its all the way
now is not a good time to talk to me about the telephone bill
**
save me from my white boy destiny
dialogue with myself
-mmm how very interesting
3hours later
-hmmm I beg to differ
3 hours later
-hmmm how very interesting
I AM PRESENTIN' MASELF IN THE FULL AND I AM READY
like a detective without a case
**
free entry for ladies before 10pm
1/2 price drinks for ladies before 10pm
free champagne on arrival for the ladies before 10pm
save me from my whiteboy destiny
maybe some reggae Lee Scratch Perry Babylon sessions
dread my hair, live in a shanty, play records, drums, smoke weed, take me away from the phones, homes and automobiles

year 9
Sakana(fish)(japanese host student) wanted me to show him my penis in the back seat on the way to philip island
I felt awkward and denied
these moments were all the rage
the world was out to get me

life is a series of poses

poses ease the pain

**
swell to be naive
broken fingers
**
small in stature
I'll wait out the front

are you going to squish my fine features
just like Autumn leaves were in for change
**
wrapped up in nature
your talkin a lot but you ain't sayin nothin
**
Its time to change my perspective
**
blame painting

FRIENDSHIP CRUSH

I want to die poor

brain turd
brain constipated
what does that make you
I know you are you said you are so what am I
the severe loss felt by a school boy too timid to show the exchange student his love before she left
**
dedicated those living and dead
the now the now
if it makes you happy I'll die poor
your'e never going to part with me
**
- did you get me one
- you didn't ask
-you never asked me if I wanted one
-do you want me to go back and get you one
- no thats ok...
if you want another king of lover I'll were a mask for you

psychologist
dancing for my psychotherapist

I suddenly realized I was in California
simple and true as a bunch of hobo's
-hi jenny
-hey rob how are you
-good yeah
-wow haven't seen you since highschool days
- yeah man seems like ages ago I hardly remember it, but I have a little more confidence now and I was wondering if you had Kim Parkinsons number or knew how to get in contact with her, I'd like to ask her out, I never had the nerve while at school
-ah no I haven't seen her in ages
-oh ok well how have you been anyway?
**
without any particular agreement we began holding hands
I covered a book in contact so fellow passengers would not know I was reading a book on ANXIETY
ANXIETY COVERED IN CONTACT
jump on the horse of life and ride

**
uncle Rog carrying me out of ET stiff as a board, I really felt for that guy
**

**
life has a habit of getting in the way
sit down relax take your bra off
mighty sparrow
give space for pondering
**
a cat heading to parliament house

returning home to find we are all cave men, but cavemen go hunting, you could barely call us hunters, exchange the remote control for the club and go huntin
**
fuck you piece of shit phone
no good for communications everybody is either
'Sorry Blah Fucking Blah is not answering' or 'Sorry the Fuck you called has their phone switched off' or 'Sorry the Shit Lips you called is currently on the phone to Somebody Fucking Else'
do you view the world through a window or a mirror
dear artists dont worry people only look at art for a few mins at most, unless your unfortunate enough to see Drawing Restraint 9

I just might die with a smile on my face
cops with indigestion
cities were a good idea at the start. Anybody got another idea
**
its good to know there are other anxious people
arts cryptic codes are cancer
like when you can't get comfy
**
you're my friend for the good times
don't tell me your worries what makes you angry
happy come on smile
frown upside down
cold midriff
**
I'm like a girl showing her midriff for the first time
I'm like a boy who smells his top lip and it reminds him of catfoo
I'm like a mother who can't ask her mother in law for help
I'm like a father who has very limited cooking skills but exotic tastes
**
good bye
get up off a that thing and dance till you feel better
**
my top lip smells like catfood
my balls smell like salt and vinegar chips
my armpits smell like spagetti bolognaise
what a day I'm a walking buffet
**
the next hello is the next goodbye
**
I have 800 photographs of men
I saw what I want and I went for them
**
Hugo's me name real estates me game but friday night lettin loose is my real passion
all you need is love
I can pay someone to do the stuff I don't want to do
**
karate boy atop a building
I dont know karate but I know karazy

entertain the west
we have nothing to really do
**
tissues and a clipboard and maybe a glass of water
**

maybe the hokey pokey is what its all about
**
wagu
the longer I spend with you the longer you spend with me
I make bad decisions you pay for
no gonna's no wanna's no shoulda's
**
where is my heart
lunch@Smoothe
Smoothe is now smoother
**
what a day to wear my new trousers
this city is a jungle and the animals come out at night
what would freud say about this
what the hell kind of sicko goes from G rated to R rated- Marlon Brando
**
he mostly ate mcdonalds on his trip
because he didn't care for japanese food
unfortunately this resulted in gout
**
good control of my facial muscles got me where I am today
it all started with attraction
attraction is a powerful dictator
I worship dark men my father never played games with me
business supports life here rather than rules it
nature will quietly pay us back

morning affirmations


I'm single and I'm hot
I know what love is and how to give it
I'm a flower ripe for the pickin
I'm a butterfly ready to flutter
I'm a diamond just been dug up
I'm Kanye West
I'm the best
I'm soaking in love
this hell will pass
waterfall
me
asleep at the beach

watery pictures are emerging in the lounge area at home
