Some sports photos and a poem

Note: This was suppose to be published last night, but a late assignment for my internship precluded that from happening.

The Spring Campaigns


Other men remember the false gardens
of love, and the days they were in love
or thought they were in love, and others
the books they read as children, books that marked
their lives forever, though they couldn't know
in those days how the real world operates.
And all of them take comfort in this way
and even grow enthusiastic when
they realize that memory can shape
itself at will and provide the things
that love and books and gardens can't provide.
I remember what I didn't undertake:
more than anything, the spring campaigns.

The Damned, from Poetry Daily

Kitten curious, or roaring down drinks
in Soho sumps, small hours tour buses,
satellite station green rooms, or conked

out in the bathtubs of motorway hotels,
there you were, with muckabout kisses,
sharking for the snappers, before hell

opened up for you and the weepy sores
of after-fame appeared, the haphazardry
and dwindling after three limelit years,

recognised with catcalls, wads of spit,
a nightclub fist, the scant camaraderie
melts fast, like your flat on Air Street,

the lhasa apso pups, the wraps and lines
of chang, the poster pull-outs, spray tan
smiles. It's paunch and palimony time

on Lucifer's leash. But for a madcap few
who cling, thin soup, one pillow Britain
is simmering with hatred, just for you.

Nondenominational Update

The Isley Brothers-Ohio/Machine Gun



Also, the first published poem of mine for the summer. Called "Ode to Madness." Naturally I have to post the entire poem in another place. Why? For money of course. Either way, support the slacker and enjoy the poem.

The piercing sound fades into the abyss,
where the cul-de-sac of an illusion
Meets the transepts of life.....
