  • My first printed book of poetry "One For The Road" is all about travel and journey, a collection representing work written over a 6 year period.

    Featuring Hopeless crushes in strange places, communications breakdowns, heartbreak, isolation, floods in Thailand, scams in Malaysia, wankers in Auckland, disillusionment in India, freaking out in the Sahara, and a stolen pith helmet in Nepal. We go from exotic adventure to facing up the economic disparities in the world.

    It's 22 individual stories on 60 pages, staple stitched with illustrations, all created and composed by the author.

    Also there's elephants in it. It's pretty good.

lyrics

I STATEMENTS

I
am tired of reading your bad grammar
‘cause I’ve read too many times in text
persons referring to themselves
with a lower case "i"

oneself
should not put themselves
in the lower case
there are millions of mediocre men
to do that for you.

when you write I
use the capital I
your life, a capital enterprise
you should be a capital I
and be an eye-full

don't sell yourself short
with bad grammar,
ladies and gentlemen
in this life, if nothing else
you deserve…

Punctuation.

You have to be that I
that needs a capital!

you’re the big letter
you need a shift key
you need a CAPS LOCK
You might even need to be printed in bold!

you need
to take that much effort
over yourself

‘I’ being a word for ‘You’
belongs in the uppercase
So don’t talk yourself
down

and when you speak
I want to hear you talk that way too
speak of yourself,
as if you are talking
in capitals, because


I DO!
