Hiding
I feel shy today
Alone in this place
They made me stay
So just read my face
It’s clearly splayed
I won’t be swayed
To stay in this place
One more day!

“Going to hell, in a handbasket”
On a Slow Road to Hell
Loosing all sense of colour
No use in a loud holler
All shades of grey are fading
The perfect picture slowly degrading
Turning to black and white
Really, there was no fight
Life passing by in slow motion
Reminiscent of an old silent film
But with less commotion
Standing here
Where the line used to be
Then, drawn in sand
Facing what I feared
A wall of concrete
Now complete
Wondering,
Who’s got the upper hand
A note of some kind
Almost rendered me blind
In proud bold letters,
A big ass sign
“TRESPASSERS WILL BE SHOT!”

“Do more, complain less”
I need a Different Tune to Sing to
Repeat this mantra and you’ll soon believe it
Turning into a complete little shit
“My head is empty, my head is empty, my head is empty,
completely and abso-freaking-lutely empty”
Not one sensible thought passing through
The mind no longer sharp and clever
The neurons and positrons or what ever
Have turned into some kind of inert goo
Head spinning around like being possessed
Just like Linda Blair in the Exorcist
The thought pattern repeating those same old tunes
Feels like running on mere fumes
Stuck and totally out of luck
Like a sitting duck awaiting the slayer
Or a broken needle on a record player
Not adding any new layers
Complaining more and nothing gets done
Seems the mojo is lost and so is all the fun
It is time to change the needle or the record
Even if it takes a lot of effort
Repeating this mantra and soon you will believe
The best proven remedy to achieve
Is to do more and complain less
And in a new tune singing your way out of this mess

“He travels the fastest who travels alone” Rudyard Kipling
Porvoo, Finland
Colourful old buildings
Even graffiti for the chilling
Some of them may be tilting
Life nothing if not thrilling

“Life tends to be an accumulation of a lot of mundane decisions, which often gets ignored” David Byrne
Colours
A work of art?
Or something smart?
A splash of colour
Will leave you wonder
What is beyond there?
A work of art
Or something,
Even more smart?

“A throne is only a bench covered with velvet” Napoleon Bonaparte
A Seat in Cyprus
A single seat?
Or one designed for two?
In this heat
Who could want to be glued
To someone else’s skin
With clothes this thin

Boss Face
I am your boss
And I don’t give a toss
If you care to floss
After eaten the sauce

I’d like to be able to travel anywhere in an instant” Jason Behr
Birds
The colours
Of the old town
Will turn
An upside frown
Into a huge smile
When staying a while
In the historic city
Of Porvoo…

“I was never that kind of star. I was never cast because I was gorgeous” Helen Mirren
Dame Helen Mirren
The star of everything that matters
Stating this not just for the sake of flatters
The Queen, the Chief Inspector, a tart
Playing them all with very much smart
She is definitely not a prude
When prancing in the nude
Not afraid to speak her mind
Even if it meant to be a little unkind
A naughty word here and there
To make her point, if you weren’t clear
Pure perfection of talent and beauty
Always with the sense of duty
A rose by any other name
Let’s all hail to our Dame:
Happy 73rd birthday!
