I'm busy
Not now
No thank you
Not interested
Rather not
Take a hint -
I'm unavailable

Return (Square One)

Everyturn a contradiction
have I not moved
from this concrete earth
burned alive in repitition
a plot of cycles
revolutions per second/day/year
disgrowth within mummification
of ageless repeats
again
again
again

Brutal

Crashing down to earth
solid and reproaching
Why did you leave me
for your castle in the air?
Come back to me, child,
to harshness and to truth
clasping their iron arms
about your mind -
Do not let it wander again, naive one.
There's comfort in unforgivable facts
in unmoving absolutes
in square corners
in rigid pathways.
The disinllusionment of your imaginings
will break upon the night
exposed to mechanic reason.
Your heart will balk
at it's improved, pristine surroundings
that will protect you from
silly fancies, evocative music, flighty poems
that will only hinder the march
of progressive realism.
Welcome home
close your thoughts
muse no more.

Welcome. Today we have on our panel our resident psychiatrist, a psychiatrist who isn't resident but staying with the other one because he can't bear to go home, and a psychiatrist who lived with the first one and who when the second arrived felt alienated and has since undergone a total personality change.


Mother: Ah! Mrs. Knickerbaker exploded!
Son: Good thing too.
Mother: Ah! She was my best friend!
Son: Oh mother, don't be so semtimental. People explode everyday.
Mother: Yes. I suppose so. I don't know - I didn't like her really.


Some things in life are bad. They can really make you mad.
Some things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle - don't grumble!
Give a whistle! And this'll help things turn out for the best.
And - always look on the bright side of life.
Always look on the light side of life.
If life seems jolly rotten - There's something you've forgotten!
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
Life is quite absurd and that's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Always look on the bright side of death -
Just before you draw your terminal breath.
Life's a piece of spit when you look at it.
Laugh's a laugh and that's the joke it's true.
You'll see it's all a show - keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember the last laugh is on you.
Keep on laughing as you go.

-Monty Python
