Home alone on a Saturday night

Got caught in thought space today. Ideas galore, activities here and there, actions minimal, lots of standing around watching not enough touching. Like the guy with a crush on a girl but never says anything. So I took a step outside thought space. And found gravity. Twenty minutes of movement

Listening or dancing?

Swimming or floating? Walking or standing still? Pissed off or laughing? Opposites give each other meaning. The listener’s ear hairs swing to the beat. And the dancer moves to the sound. Going through life floating down the stream. Or swimming along with events. My Mum used to teach swimming

Honour among thieves

We’re all guilty. Of one thing or another. Thieves know this. They see it in each other. They’re aware of their crimes. Though are all thieves criminals? Is someone who steals from one to give to someone less fortunate a criminal? Or is someone more fortunate who steals
