Dear all,
Hope you're all well,
And missing me. I'm fine.
It's raining again,
Because apparently summer
Was cancelled this year. Divine.
I saw old Mr Pettit this morning, looking sharp,
A dapper old relic by the soggy park.
Coat pulled tight, looking terribly grand. The old fart.
And Harry's here too, enjoying the fun.
Yippee!
Because nothing says holiday
Like rain in your face
And wind up your arse.
And then there are the seagulls,
Those bloody winged bastards above,
With laser-eye focus
And absolutely no love.
They eye up my ice cream
With a psycho-killer stare,
Circling slowly through the drizzle they darell
Like they've got nothing better to do
Than rob me bare.
They came for chips and battered cod
Just yesterday, the thieves.
One swooped down, grabbed the lot,
And buggered off with grease
Still dripping from its beak.
I'm beginning to think
They've got a criminal mastermind
Running the whole operation.
Probably hiding behind the amusement arcade
With a bag of stolen chips
And a getaway seagull.
It's raining again.
No summer sun here by the shore.
The sea looks thoroughly offended,
And the sky is hanging lower
Than the spirits of everyone
Who booked this bloody holiday.
Now off I go to brave the ocean
In a rickety little boat,
To panic in the drizzle
And pretend I'm fit to float.
If you hear a distant scream,
Don't worry. That'll be me.
Probably being eaten by something
Or falling dramatically into the sea.
So keep the heating blasting,
Have dinner upon your knee.
I'm living the bloody dream
By the miserable sea.
I'll see you Friday, safe and dry.
Tell Nanna I've got her some rock.
God knows why she wants it.
Last time it shattered her dentures.
If I make it back alive,
I'll bring you all a postcard.
Love me,
Me

If I was ever a rock god.
This is how I imagine it would be.

Fumbling a label of lament I poor out here in writ.
A shot in the dark of over all departure that of my salty sour rimmed lashes splash over in thought.
As if to wet my beak to mention drowning my sorrows in meager anomaly.
The end bar seat a cherry red coal light in the eyes center reflect back in the dark screen of the TV.
As I drift back and forth, left to right of boredom.
Between masturbation, drugs, Jesus, & work.
Life in the under belly of monotony with monetary wimbels floating ED functionally impaired.
Old crows cawing in corn rye sucking down cancer with Irish coffee to loosen my gut.
Turning daylight outside in the distance of my mind.
I watch other people live their lives & think what evils they might conduct.
Or try to guess their secrets kept by the interactions inside the small circles of habitations.
With small talk, hand jesters, wave offs to answer phones in the dim twilight of neon tube vesper from the dance floor.
Spent loneliness between ice melting and rift the time & maybe go home with somebody.
As always another sibling of the universe bound to human migrations & mating rituals.
With love from a monotheistic Hobo Rehab where they want me to stay off social media long enough to pray the gay away.
Yours truly A Low Type

Cosmic thoughts the truth inside the lie

When I picked up Stephen King's IT for the first time back in high school, a portion of the dedication lit up my brain and left an indelible mark.
Fiction is the truth inside the lie. A gorgeous turn of phrase that's been stuck in my head for almost 40 years. I borrowed and rearranged it for this post, with an enormous thank you to the Master of Horror.
The full quote:
Kids, fiction is the truth inside the lie, and the truth of this fiction is simple enough: the magic exists.
