Time Out

The Moon is full and

I can feel its pull and

Mars is close to the Earth.

We don’t need any excuses to be crazy…we should jump into clown pyjamas

and go running in the streets with a candle in each hand.

I read a comment on a website the other day that stopped me in my tracks.

This was the comment:

“I’m white…don’t shoot”

I can remember when cops didn’t wear body armour

Maybe before they got scared and believed their own myths

We need to stay fit…or get fit…or be fit

We need the strength and stamina to resist despair

I try to tell people, young people, that the sixties and seventies may have been crazier than this.

They don’t buy it. Truth is subjective. Reality is relative.

There’s no such thing as fake news…it’s all data. Old data and new data…and lies

Of course. These days I miss Hunter Thompson and Albert Einstein…well, may not Einstein.

I miss Marilyn Monroe and Humphrey Bogart though.

I used to think that one needed to be stoned to understand the irrational.

That was because there was so much that was irrational.

Being stoned just helps you understand being stoned.

Irrational stays irrational.

I miss being stoned too.

The world needs to take a “time out”.

Maybe a glass of milk, a cookie and a nap.

Put the bullets back in the box

Leave the gun outside the door.

Dream of strawberries and lemonade…under a shady tree

with a cool breeze…wake up sane.
