Kurt Cobain, what’s your point?
The mass debate never ends – 9th February 1994
Woke up wrapped up in my baby. Her skin so smooth and soft. Is it any wonder I wake up erect, groin pushing against her delicate flesh. I woke gradually but it took more minutes to stir her from her slumber.
She is an angel in the morning – she is an angel with a sore head. Sour, I called her this morning. We laughed it off though and I set to a day’s work head held high. I actually felt worse bodily wise today than the previous two I had off work ill. I’ve a cold coming on in the head and it promises to be a bastard!

Read Broni’s Dummy and Maddy’s letter this morning which gave me much food for thought though playing catch up on two days work saw to it that I forgot about it til my baby picked me up again. Some days just flash by like they didn’t actually happen.
My baby worked herself silly again and then cooked a lovely meal and it all caught up with her after elegant sufficiency. I took the initiative and dragged her out of her coma and we went and played along the watery piers at Poole Park. She dropped her draws to piss, not realising it was in the light cast from yonder shore – we laughed and ran and let swans follow us, gliding gently across the black waters.
On return to base camp Broni set about more work (!) which took up the rest of the evening. I took the opportunity of writing up some more poems (dating back to 1988). There was a couple there I thought were ok. I’d written down a couple of ideas I’d had floating around in my head and decided to put headgear into action and write full poems around them. One worked really well and the other led to another great poem. I wonder if I’ll look back in six years time at these and just think ‘they’re ok’!
Hey, here’s something I wanted to write down: “The world is permeated with roses of happiness all the time, but none of us know it. The happiness consists in realising that it is all a great strange dream” – Jack Kerouac. With that, I’ll end the day knowing it’s an exciting time ahead.
Blissfully Ignorant – 17th August 1993
Take away all I know
And make me unaware
Learn to be ignorant
And forget to really care
And all will be peaceful
Nothing’s really gonna matter so
Time will just pass on by
Battery – 11th August 1993
When I wake up in the morning
I’m wrapped up in my lover’s body
And my heart is full of joy
That happiness is like a battery
Keeping me charged for the day
And when I forget to say I love you
And show you that I care
I’m in need of a recharge
Run – 26th July 1993
Together
Well run into the sun
Whatever
Obstacles can be overcome
Forever
We will be as one
Rain A-Coming – 25th July 1993
Now the sun has gone
Hid away behind steely grey
The light that beamed
Across the oceans and lands
Replaced by dull dim darkness
The rain is a-coming
The rain starts a-pouring
And my sad heart aches
For the sun again
Waiting For You – 24th July 1993
Tapping my feet, hand poised over the phone
I need to speak to you, tell you to come home
Wanting to say all the things I forgot to say
When you’re here and need to now you’ve gone away
My Desire – 23rd July 1993
There’s a hole in my heart
My desire has left for three days
The intensity of our relationship
Burns brightly as we wait for each other
The emptiness is unbearable
My desire is to be by your side again
So we can stand together
And face the world full-on
25th Aug 2024 – I’m taking a guess at the date and that this is about Bronwyn. I can’t imagine writing that last line when I was with Emma or Cherry but I could be wrong. I do wish I’d dated things that I wrote in the past!
