Winter smoko

Handbags rummaged
Pockets emptied

Smokers huddle

Chatting
Mumbling

Valiantly shivering

Cupped fingers
Butane flare

Laughing softly

Stamping feet

Their
Sacred courtyard
Ritual






"Smoko: Australian slang for a work break - cup of tea / coffee or time for a cigarette."

"Afternoon delight" - Ron Burgundy & the channel 4 news team ( The Anchorman: the Legend of Ron Burgundy)

Set in the early 70's...The Channel 4 News team and Legendary Anchorman Ron Burgundy (a macho, mustachioed bachelor with a penchant for scotch and an unmatched passion for the jazz flute) perform a hilarious version of "Afternoon delight".



Inspired by a special dish (The Afternoon Delight) served in a restaurant called "Clyde's" in Washington D.C.
According to the songwriter, it was a plate of "shrimp with Brie and almonds"... One of the reasons "fishing" is mentioned so frequently, along with the double entendre of noon-time nookie ... Must be one hell of a dish!

Trevor Childs - Deathwish

Dropped within me,
my helpless heart;

my head’s vile hiss,
of causeless wrongs;

my holiest dreams,
yielding...
sadly depart;

no sign or knock,
to fuel their songs.

"if light should flower:or laughing sparkle from
the shut house(around and around
which a poor wind will roam" - supposing i dreamed this)... (IX) - by e.e. cummings

bye bye birdies

goodbye mushroom

Goodbye little Mushie, I hope you are safe and happy wherever you are. I will never forget you.
