Nerdbirds

One day I awoke and I was a nerdbird. And so I flew off to Nerdbidland where I hung out with all the other nerdbirds. We did nerdbird things. And we sang nerdbird songs. We had nerdbird fun under the nerdbird sun. And we made sweet nerdbird love under the bright nerdbird moon.When I slept I dreamt nerdbird dreams. And then one day, I was a nerdbird no more. I was an old man with the memories of Nerdbirdland in my heart.

I Lunched In Cabravale Park.

I lunched in Cabravale Park.I sat on a wall and observed the young, the old, the mad, the bold, the boorish, the snoring, the boring, the bored ,the runners, the basket-ballers, the dreamers, the schemers the homeless, the haters, the kiss-and cuddlers, the beauties, the beasts, the thinkers, the stinkers, the tai-chiers, the, the spirits, dragons, demons, angels, trees, grass, birds, ants, and worms.

The People You Meet In The Library

I'm at the library, there's a guy few PCs down, who looks like Bukowski (if Buke had lived to be in his late 70s/early 80's and if Buke had been a gamer) - this guy is playing Civilisation (I think -or something like it) and he's swearing louder and more fouler than a group of pre-teens playing at an internet cafe. He's abusing the game, he called over a librarian and is abusing the librarian because of a lack of upgrades,  and he's on his mobile abusing someone from a phone company - "You're all a bunch of f*cking idiots!" What a gruff, surly cantakerous cur ...I wonder if he writes any poetry.
