Women are mostly

more mature than men
(it seems to me)

but they often let little petulant boys
have their way
so they remain little boys,
that is to say:
little gangsters.

And so we have hideous hierarchies
of childishness,
nation by nation:
patriarchies that petulantly
pillage the world
in childish frustration.

Gloss on a poem by R.L. Stevenson

Love - what is love ? A stupid, aching heart;
rage, tears, more rage, regret and long despair.
Life - what is life ? Expulsion from the lair
into a world that is a world apart.

Testosterone

has wrecked a million
times more lives than heroin.

It is kinder

to be a pædophile
than to be a
meat-eater...

...kinder still

not to have children.

Excess

(the opposite of access)
is also contagious.
We are the only excessive
species, now become
fanatically ignorant.

The keenest Christians have mostly been murderous

- they have made it the only murderous religion, obsessed with torture, blood and murder - on the one hand - and vapid, sickly redemption on the other.
(Of course I know of the tiny sects of Islam and 'Hinduism' - the Hashishin and Thuggs - whose practices were not remotely on the same scale.)

Money :

at best, it's
vulgar -

at worst, it's
mundicidal.

It's often at its worst.

The greatest evil

is the most basic
desire.

One-third of the people who live

condemn the other two-thirds
to death
simply for being
too many
too smelly -
indeed,
simply for being.

A definition of Sentimentality :

loving your progeny
above all others.

A good definition of bad taste :

Christmas.

A Declaration of Intent

I will respect the stone
even if blood
comes out of it
whether love
or nothing comes
out of it
for my respect is moss.

40% of all human beings

(several billion)
have nowhere to shit
but a bush or a ditch
in the dangerous dark.

For them, only numbers
have changed since the Ark.

UNDERSTANDING FRENCH CUISINE

French "haute cuisine" originates in aristocratic circles in the 18th century, some time after the Russian novelty of serving meals in courses (rather than as a kind of buffet or mezze) was introduced to France. It catered to a class which ate white bread and sugar - and had no teeth except those bought from peasants who ate hard brown bread and a great deal of (mainly) wild fruit. This class liked bland and mushy food raised in the Paris area (Ile-de-France and Upper Normandy). The diet thus leaned heavily on butter, cheese (especially local Camembert and Brie) and cream. Butter, cream and white flour were used to make sauces which made chopped-up meats swallowable by the toothless.

After the Revolution of 1789 the rising bourgeoisie took over aristocratic tastes (and aristocratic cooks) with a vengeance. They started eating song-birds, foie gras and other delicacies of the degenerate and amoral. Governmental centralisation by Napoleon ensured that Paris was the fount of all knowledge and fashion. But it took another 100 years for Parisian bourgeois cuisine to penetrate the whole country. Today there is very little indigenous, local cooking. Those recipes which are claimed as regional are Parisian versions or perversions of ancient dishes. Right up to the First World War most people in France ate very little meat. They lived from hard bread (sometimes baked only once a year) and bad wine (since water was often dangerous to drink), wild fruits and herbs, and what they could grow in their 'potagers'. No French people, not even rich Parisians, ever abandoned the traditional eating of bread, hence the strange habit of eating quantities of bread together with quantities of other food. Since bread is often filling, the Parisian baguette came about: a kind of bread with very little bulk, taste or nutritional value.

All this said, it should be noted that the most common dish eaten in restaurants in the 20th century was (English/American-style) Steak & (Belgian) Frites or 'French Fries'!

Bernard Madoff

How the sophisticates laughed
at the naive Albanians
who lost all their savings
to Pyramid Scams
not long after capitalism
and chaos
took over their country.

Perhaps Albanians
are laughing now

amongst many others.

O to have the grace to live

without intentionality,
without intent.

for Louise Erdrich

What is sacred
is secret -
which is why holy books
are no more
and no less
than literature.

Children don't know they are

plans.
Adults don't know they are
ruins.

The object of Democracy

is to ensure that everyone
practises
'decently'
the same hypocrisy.

Before we're old

we little understand
the spinning heartache of the world.

The greatest evil

is the celebration of itself.

The contemplative life has been abolished.

In my life-work
of self-improvement
I had no time
for mere employment.

Love is the other side

of a coin.

The world is ruled

by strengthless dead
in dodgem cars.

The foolish and the spiritless

celebrate the rising
but not the setting
sun.

Those who know

how a political system works
are usually the most corrupt.

If you believe in property

there is nothing but property.

The poor in spirit

are very rich also
in meretricious promises.

Be good; do good.

One does not imply the other.

Life is not a justification of life.

There is no justification for anything.

UNDERSTANDING male HOMOSEXUALITY

Males who, for one reason or another (e.g. absent fathers, rampant narcissism) have difficulty in relating to other males, often sexualise this difficulty in adolescence - perhaps through mutual masturbation with peers, or, more simply, from seeing an admired or feared male naked. They thus continue to try and resolve the problem of their relationship to other men through sexual or sensual contact. Those who like to penetrate other men try and resolve the problem through establishing a relationship of power, whereby they 'prove their masculinity' by 'conquering' passive men - who themselves thus feel feminised (hence temporarily justified) in a similarly banal and erroneous way.

The problem is, of course, never resolved, since sex is only one - very limited, over-valued and fairly closed - aspect of life. Thus homosexual men suffer from arrested emotional development and, in my experience, generally have an emotional age ranging from around 7 to around 15. This does not mean that heterosexual men are emotionally mature. The main feature of competitive societies is the neotenisation of males to make them demanding, envious and receptive to the work-ethic. Success is achieved by those who are most infantilised or emotionally undeveloped, and these, increasingly, include women.

The 'greatest' art

is many things to
many people
Which is to say
somehow meaningless -

I mourn
'great art'.

UNDERSTANDING ART

We are all artistic, for life is art.

The capitalist system of "divide and rule and stupefy" has
taken art (=celebration of life) away from everyone, and offered us work and
labour instead.

In the arts of the visual, which are bizarrely much more highly
valued than, for example, ceramics or serious music, a few over-achieving,
competitive, driven, or monomaniac people are allowed to be "artists" by virtue
of the market, which of course is completely capricious. The rest get on with
working for the system which exists for itself and not for its members.

A few of us make art as a 'hobby' or 'pastime', and some of us can buy what 'artists'
create: the poorer buy 'work' by unknowns; the rich inflate the market for the
'successful' by investing in their output.

Seen another way, though, art is just another kind of mind-shit.

In the global madness of desire

it's not just prices that go higher.

Osama ben Laden

is a most interesting
latter-day fusion
of Agamemnon
with Odysseus.

Understanding Capitalism

Keep on dividing and ruling.
First: corral people into Nationalities.
Then divide them into Nuclear Families.
Then divide the families
into frustrated, infantilised,
isolated Individuals.
Then sell them everything
except what you have taken from them:
connection
(and ultimately the world).
And for those who will not buy your trash:
correction.

"Whoever controls the weather controls the world,"

A Comment on the Monotheistic Religions of Self

Even if I had a soul
why would I think
it worth saving ?

Silence.
No mirrors.

Humans are mainly

fatuous
and vengeful.
The best that one can be
is useless.

To a canine friend

My theory of mind
is that your mind
though different from mine
is a beautiful function

Never

Though I'm a

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month

the sickening hypocrisy
of the aggressive and evil
English Empire
now claiming (it seems successfully)
to have 'sacrificed' its subjects,
to have destroyed a thousand cultures
and ten thousand environments
in the name of Liberty and Justice!

Mind, too

is shit.

It is the trivial people

not the serious
who need to 'lighten up'.

Every 'middle-class' value

is false.
Every 'bourgeois' moral
is hypocritical.
This is obvious to every
four-year old -
which is why Education
is compulsory.

The basic Human Problem

is that human imagination
is not compatible
with possibility.

All governments are bad

- though some are much worse
than others.
And sex is silly -
though sometimes it seems
majestic.

The biggest mistake

is to take
yourself
seriously.

We are the cream of creation :

the richer, the thicker.

All generalisations are wrong.

Francophones
have poor peripheral vision
(because they look you in the eye),
and are now taught
to think that animals
are stupid machines.

Anglophones
who are always looking sideways
are good at catching shoplifters.

Check the Figures

Because English expansion,
piracy, conquest and empire
lasted for so long,
British genocides, reprisals,
occupations, wars and holocausts
wrought far more evil, mayhem
and destruction than Hitler's
unbecoming, evanescent Reich.
And no apology
will ever be forthcoming.

Shadows

are the illuminations

Christian Heaven

It is as sterile

The Good Life :

Happy people

You can abolish war

only by abolishing armies.

Sooner, rather than later,

machines
dehumanise.

Anomie :

'the illness
of limitless expectation'
and illusory autonomy.

...as Napoleon might have said :

all humans are evil,
but some are more evil than others.

Since I judge

men by their beards
and women by their brains
almost all of my friends

Having

Because we have no souls

And so we are the only

It is obvious

that most people would rather
be entertained than wise.
What is even more depressing is that
they would rather be entertained
than happy.

Sex is for the young.

Mature people know better.
But almost nobody
is allowed to mature.

The only humility possible

within our culture
is anonymity.

The only good property

is the property nobody wants.

Words

everything they seem
to describe.

The madness

of mass-murderers
is unexceptional.

Forest :

heartless.
The brain and the heart

Let things pass

Let things go
Join the flow

In the rich countries

people ask for refunds
for what they stole
off the starving.

Those who love silence

understand all that needs

Words are bedizened emptiness.

The more property,

The less co-operation
the more property.

A Curious Thing

Men's armpits in their natural state

- fennel, ginger,
leather, ripe date,
pipe-tobacco, damp logs -
but their balls
all smell the same

though maybe not to dogs.

For those who are into self-harm

and guilt,
Jesus is a Godsend.

The joy of sex

is not ejaculation
but the fun of doing silly,
sensual, sexy things
à deux.

I would rather

plant trees
than 'have sex'.
I think
more love is involved.

Louisiana Purchase

OK is a conflation of Scots Och Aye with French d'accord; and guy is a corruption of the French word gars with echoes of English anti-Catholic bonfires. 'Have a nice day!' is an intrusively imperative version of Bonne journée ! Denim comes from French de Nîmes, as Gènes, French for Genoa, turned into jeans.

Denim originated in Indian fishing communities around Bombay (Mumbai) and was the fabric used for Dungarees.

'Free Speech'

is a prison
when people have nothing to say except
More.

I am

a bubble of being
outside the bubble of breeding,
of meat- eaters

Is knowing

just another form of
having -
a substitute for
being ?

Every day that passes

I despise the middle classes
more and more.
I never lock my door.

Crime enough

to have property.
Utter perdition
to lock it as well.

A word to feminists:

GLOSS ON A POEM BY R.L. STEVENSON

Love - what is love ? A stupid, aching heart;
rage, tears, more rage, regret and long despair.
Life - what is life ? Expulsion from the lair
into a world that is a world apart.

Life is a foreign language.

Punishment is stupid.
Death is a smile
from the top of the pile.

Bravery is everywhere

except in humans.
Compared with us
the very stones are brave.

MINOTAUR

The terrible difference
between Man and Beast
is the terrible power
of arrogance.

The anti-rights

of the anti-man
and the anti-woman
are only three:

The right to question everything
- everything
The right to be illiterate
The right to have no name.

Without God

or gods
we might still be in Paradise.

People who take themselves seriously

wage war on others
and the world.

With this poem

which you may think is not a poem
I offer you more than a poem:
a little gift of silence.

'Retail therapy'

makes you docile,
turns you stupid,
kills dissent.

Religion :

more an attempt to
justify the unjustifiable
than to explain the inexplicable.

You write a poem,

stop. Then silence.
The silence is
a better poem:
the rest is
(as Verlaine wrote)
merely literature.
