Edges

  The edges of me have holes in. Gaps in the fortifications, making it easier for you – to ping your view of me, into the spaces, thinking to make your mark, but I’ve played your table games before, in other places, with other players, and your view of me, pings back, at you –Continue reading “Edges”

Hypocaust

In the middle, I stand, pushing down my insides, is to be whooshed over and over; whooshed by the waves, emanating up from the soles of one’s feet; tidal waves, quick and sudden; humongous waves that cross over one’s bowels,  stomach and heart, crushing them together into a bouncing ball, up and churning it   Continue reading “Hypocaust”

Why do good people do bad things to good people?

    Is it bad to be obedient, or is that just a good person doing what they are told? Why do good people do bad things to other good people? Can a person be good if they have done a bad thing to another person, knowing that the thing they have done is bad?Continue reading “Why do good people do bad things to good people?”

  Those batty English Democrats are surely pretty dim To be living on an island when none of them can swim!

Outstanding

I stand out – a head above the rest, tall and gangly, alien accent, orange crown, and more-than-a-little odd. I stand above, and I stand out – florescent, illuminating, and alert. I’m an amber sunset, full of the promise of a better tomorrow.   I alarm you.   A flashing-red siren cuts through your conscience.Continue reading “Outstanding”

Ruminating

  It’s a rum old deal, to have to empty out, because, as thoughts do intrude and escalate, I keep on writing – and I start to deflate! But, the wind is so loud, when the last does escape that, at that very point – I terminate.   Copyright owned by Jay Cool, June 2019Continue reading “Ruminating”

Obliteration: An Elegy

  Barely literate, and not rated, Trump lit his own fuse, turned red, and reiterated his desire to obliterate a whole country.   Being rational, and not rationed, the ralliers lit several fuses, turned to face the blighter, and reiterated a shared desire to obliterate the whole of the irrational.   And they did so –Continue reading “Obliteration: An Elegy”
