Post Card Poem (2008)

Syd

My head is up my arse

All I think about is shit

I'm about as bright as a two watt bulb or a candle that hasn't been lit

At night I sit and ponder

To myself I laugh and smile

I haven't had a sane thought for quite a fucking while

I need someone to talk to, to get me back on track

I've tried talking to myself but I'm not much fucking crack

In life I took the scenic route, now all's not quite the same

Those concoctions I have taken must have tattooed my brain
​​​​
I wish I could do magic, just like David Blane

All those little brain cells

I would bring them back again

  • Comment from author about the poem: This is the first poem I ever wrote. It was written on the back of a post card when I was feeling rather fragile in Amsterdam and sent to an unsuspecting friend. My apologies if I've lured any 'normal' readers in with the unsuspecting title. I bet you were expecting descriptions of a seafront and melting ice creams etc. Sorry x

      Give me a while and I will translate it for you Michael. I know a little Greek. Ohh, is there no end to my talents?! Nope lol.

        So you are having the same problems as me Orchi - every so often I get poem which is written in strange symbols - and yet when I view it on another device it reads fine. All Greek to me as well.

        So the holiday did not go well and you tried to blame it on David Blaine eh?

        • Syd

          Something like that Goldfinch lol. Might as well blame David Blane.

          Thanks for reading - Syd
