Greetings

On this the last day of the first month,a third of the way,through the fifth decade of my life,I begin to blog. I write,in defience of cold,poverty,sickness and public indifference/contempt. I intend to concentrate on matters poetical. You do not need,nor care to hear,my viewpoint on the zeitgeist(we're all fucked and I'm glad),political opinions(they're all a set of useless cocksuckers) or religious/spititual beliefs(the dave abides).
Not knowing whether to post when I've got something i want to say or less frequently,when i have something worth saying; I'll do it when I can be bothered. Let me leave you,with some suggestions: Good reading http://www.ranprieur.com/. Good listening at http://www.abneypark,com/. Good watching,go to google videos and Derrick Jensen,'EndGame'.
Oh, a poem
MEMORIES
memories burned
on my soul,
like the shadows
of vaporised humanity
etched on
the walls of
Hiroshima & Nagasaki.

Acid-burned
past,
poorly covered by
times
grafting of fresh
memories.

I still show
the scar
my enemies/friends
gave me.

They're faded
now and few
notice them
or know why
I bear them.
