Old poem in drafts, unpublished

Peel off layers of me
Find what's in there
Show my belly like a foolish dog
Honesty is power, right?
Honesty is a weapon.
But you have to know the truth first.

Ebay poem

Sell your item on Ebay.

They’ll only take ten percent.

And PayPal will have another three

point four, plus twenty pee.

You can have the thrill

of posting it to Liverpool

and wondering what they look like.

You should

at the very least

Google their house on Street View.

Work as play

Well, we say, "one must live"

Alan Watts — Work As Play (youtube)

Don't make a distinction between work and play. Regard everything you are doing as play, and don't imagine for one minute that you have to be serious about it. 

... 

Now you see, living, like this plant, is something spontateous. ... You stop this spontaneous flowering of nature cold it you tell it it must do it.

... 

The swinging of the ball is just to swing. And if you take it seriously and say "are you doing anything useful?" useful for what? "useful to go on." But if you take that attitude, going on becomes a drag.

 Sublime, and a little ridiculous. This recording is a treasure.

Thoughts Time Machine

There were about 25 old posts, including the oldest post on this blog, that I wrote but never published, or published but then hid. They are now resurrected. Some of it's a bit weird. (This is my favourite, which Dick would understand, and I like this one.)
