bath time


Rub a dub dub three men in a tub.
One is a boy and one is a bub.
Where are they going, they are going to sea,
to count the fish and sing merrily.
Oh, Oh, Mary Lee, Mary Lee.
Oh, Oh, Mary Lee.
When they get there the fish will sing,
the turtles fly and they'll know everything.
That's how it goes at les temps de bains.
There's a lot of purple but there is no pain.
Oh, Oh, there's no pain, there's no pain
Oh, Oh, there's no pain.
Yes, it's all stuff and nonsense but it passes the time.
And having fun in the tub well that's no crime.
Now the fish are counted lets play in the foam.
Down the plughole and it's time to go home.
Oh, Oh, time to go home, time to go home.
Oh, Oh, time to go home.

A walk along Walkerville.
















Blue and Green should never be seen without something in between.
What colour is your name?
Most lipstick contains fish scales. Most fish scales contain lipstick.
Using charcoal softened with saliva to make black paint and chewed berries to make red, bower birds paint the inside of their bowers.
Bear meat is a story about the male psyche and the power of the mountain in each man's life.
Bravo Primo Levi. Bravo maestro.

If only they had in Eden.

Hi, what's your name?
Hombre.
What are you doing here, Hombre?
Oh, I'm just trying to get to the end. This stage of life, it is a competition with completion being the prize. You owe it to yourself.
Near the end the sentiment is, the end is coming, the end of my tether, I can't go further.
And at the end there's a sense of achievement, waste, sadness, relief.
At the end there is either fear or peace.
Glide with the temperance of a dolphin.
Pray as if your answers dance. See the child in everything.
I walk along, the world like a balloon beside me, red eyes burning on in a world where oil companies advertise they are helping to reduce pollution. A world of consumer slavery with people who don't believe in God and know that slavery is wrong.
People can do God's will without knowing it, Hombre.

West














If I had a dog I would call him West.
If I had a cat or two, one black one white, I would call them Fuego and Agua.
If I had a parrot I would call it The Colonel.
And if I had a goldfish I would set it free.

haiku or two




Pinstripe rain calls the grey sky home for Earth suckles her puddles empty.


It's a hard life having a cause but better than being comfortable.


Kooky Confucius says not to confuse cous cous with fuschias.

In Denial Bay.

Sultry thunderstorm by the sea.
Road behind me like a missing tooth along the treeline.
Flat land makes the sky so big.
Road so straight you could lock the steering and read a book.
Spent a night in Denial Bay.
Early start to make Esperance by nightfall.
Aboriginal and child sitting by their car.
Sea to my left, flat infinity to my right.
Drive between the shade from the armada of clouds.
Road becomes sky to solidify on a horizon and melt behind me.


Animal fact: Lizards communicate by doing push ups.


T shirt: One day this week will end.


Sad is the world with no mystery.
Rights are only protected by human beings.
Give up your right to have rights and be protected by God.
Humanity is more than logic.
God is more than humanity.
An egoless god saving my God blessed ego.
The transportation is here.

The sunset branch.
