THE CURE FOR ALZHEIMER'S

THE CURE FOR ALZHEIMER'S

* * *

Fortunately I have discovered The Cure for Alzheimer's

Unfortunately this cure involves a pretty, little crystal flower,

It was wired into your palm on the day that you were born,
& every seven years, it takes another colour on,

& when the stone blinks - black-black-black -
Your special day is coming!!!
black-black black-black black-black-black

When you turn twenty-one

black-black black-black blackblackblackblack
Smile. Your Last Day has come.

Fortunately I have discovered the cure for Human suffering

Unfortunately it does not involve Mankind.
Fortunately nothing will be lost.

Hallelujah!

Do ya? Do ya? Do ya think I've been over-concentrating on my meta-physical contemplations and neglected the more anarchic & personal side of my material? Do ya?
The humour's always there, btw, but only I understand it - well, there is one guy - but he's in a hospital in Argentina with a brain tumour.

Previously the book of Humorous and Dark comic verse 'Hell' was a riddle, & the answer was to be printed upside down at the back, satisfyingly predictable called 'Heaven'.

Now I'm compiling a single anthology instead, 'THE FOOL'. & this has set me free to include more personal content in my current writing, and to further combine the anarchic with the sublime. The above just popped out, could do with some more verses...

WANNA perform again! MISSIN' d' IMMEDIACY, d'PHYSICALITY, duh PEOPLE!
NB (29.11.09): I have returned to the original plan, a single anthology, 'Heaven' one way up and 'Hell' the other. Heaven is the gift of The One to The Many, Hell is the gift of The Many to The One.
