What mushrooms are those, again???

 

[HarryHill]

What mushrooms are those, again???

These are the buttons, also known as champions and Portobello's if I'm not mistaken

 

[HarryHill]

Those big machines,
so large as to be unrecognizable as such,
hum along, internal discourse called and answered,
metallic laughter, god like amusement,
and glacial performance that belies
the sleek, powerful façade

 

[HarryHill]

Cold coffee and a tab for sore fingers, brandy for an aching heart

 

[butters]

Cold coffee and a tab for sore fingers, brandy for an aching heart

that's the problem with a 'tender heart
it feels so much for so many
and when it carries
the despair of the hurting others
the pain can be a heavy burden
and whilst brandy cannot lift the load
it can cushion one's shoulders
for a short while

..
tender, tender, tender me,
sappy bugger, propensity
for all that doom and gloom that follows,
long separations, lengthy negotiations,
tedious preparations for nuptialz

1 space left so

and shiftin'
sweatin' and plantin'

sleep well, mister moggs
your ku

Holy Shit what a Saturday,
Harry's fried, red faced,
belting down iced juice n fending off
maternal inclinations to feed the boy...
again

But the boy don't want to eat or move,
even to refill an empty cup,
typing's slowing with ever space keyed by a sore thumb.

..
from the day born, she fed you from her breast and heart;
such devotion, watching her piece of life scurry up the hill to sentience,
rushing to get to the top where the universe is in your mind,
see the end beyond the flesh,
make all the connections
and remember to say,
thanks Ma'am
..
all's to eat in the garden of plenty yet we keep planting flowers to feed our mind

 

[HarryHill]

A page opened a dozen times or more,
closed as well in frustration,
only leads to one conclusion
the boy has nothing to say

 

[HarryHill]

Plain bond, pencil
graphite and paper
chanted, prayed over
Fay door opens
ancient locust forest
..
gesso patrol,
oil studio plus two
oops three
march up those stairs, mister!
soldier on procrastinator
slide

if you're ever in a toga mood
watch Plebs and wear a smile
a roman penny comedy
it's surely worth your while

turns out i'd seen that film before
so went a channel hopping
found some more but also-seens
then Plebs it had me stopping

srsly funny

.. I can toga

They say the night has a thousand knives there,
and you a thousand lives to give in blood and screams
on the planet where the mind beast lives

Too slow
ergo
quick trip to town
tacos and garden implements
whiskey

Four hourz later

four tines the shovel and

Archimedes you beauty
Jack you genus cracker

..
Then a half hour passes,
bad comic on the tube,
one more drink,
waiting for a good joke
missed it while I typed

 

[HarryHill]

a thread opened,
give me words like air that I might breathe of you my love,
wonder that I don't suffocate for the lack;
where are the words I so eagerly shared,
cast between the pages,
now I gasp for
oxygen

There is; know.

 

[HarryHill]

butters?

 

[butters]

life comes and goes in waves
some wash gently 'round our feet
others reach our knees and tug at footholds
tickle thighs, tease
higher in salted laps
and then there comes the rogue
that knocks me off my feet and tumbles me
breathing silt and sand
salt-burned lungs and eyes
onto a rocky shore

but the wave passes
and the warm winds of love dry my hair
your hand reaches down
helps me to my feet again
and i cling to your steadfastness
and once more face the sea

 

[butters]

rain weighs down my thought processes
foggy fingers infiltrate my mind
from cleaner (temp) to office ass.
oh boy for irony
cab controller to library staff
home typist to cashier and more
jobs applied for by the score
and thunder rumbles
clouds pour
as in my ears that seaside beachside roar
as tide spills up the sandy shingle of my shores
and ideas wilt before half-grown
they'll not be borne nor born....

ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

What is this weight that presses
joyful thoughts of union,
flat as last nights beer,
down into muddy expectations
where smiles of milestones reached and past
turn down with steps to other paths
revealed beyond the bureaucratic shrubbery
