Important Info I Learnt from the Internet - Please Share


If you get stung by a jellyfish
swim as fast as you can to shore and urinate on the affected area
if no urine is available apply a hot poultice of chammomile tea
or use two litres of battery acid per centimetre of sting
remove any traces of stingers or cystoblasts with a pair of pliers or a claw hammer
if the patient is not moving cut off the affected limb with a sharp knife
suck the poison out by applying your lips to the blow hole. be careful not to swallow any blood that may seep out from the stump.
If you have any welding experience, you may cauterize the wound if a blow torch is handy. Alternatively bathe the stump with a diet cold drink. This will sterilize the area and kill anything organic.
Try to keep the patient from twitching, as this may hasten the spread of the toxin.
If the attack occured on an isolated stretch of coast do not panic. remember there is always something you can do. Grab a lagerhead or leatherback turtle, wet it with a little ocean water, and place it on the affected area. This will numb the area, and possibly crush the patient, but the leather back will move off quickly enough. When it does use seaweed to make a tourniquet around your wedding finger, to prevent any unwhitting transmission of the virus. If driftwood is in short supply, make a fire from sea shells and burn the carcasses / paperwork / calories.
Make him or her as comfortable as possible until help arrives. Keep their head elevated and do not allow them to fall asleep.
You may serve them coffee but energy drinks containing guano should be avoided, unless they were sourced from free range albatrosses.
If you notice the patient's eyes closing tell them a joke. Tickle them. Read them an article from the newspaper. If the patient seems tense, it may be the onset of hyperthermia. in order to calm them down play them a little baroque music, or read them the meditations of Marcus Aurerelis. Reflexology can be useful, but do not overdo it as at this stage the person is likely to still be very weak.
If you have managed to capture the jelly fish put it in a biodegradable paper bag and add a pinch of worcester sauce to kep it fresh. The paramedics will need to know what make of jelly it is, in order to administer the correct anti-venom. Once they have identified it, you may release the jelly fish or consume it. However, only the pyrimidal jelly fish has a shelf life of more than three days.
Take the patients pulse every 2-3 seconds. Keep talking to them, preferably in a language they do not understand. This will stimulate the corpus collusum and make for better outcomes post surgery. When the paramedics arrive, give them a full psychosocial history and any witness statements you have been able to gather. If the patient has stopped breathing make sure you have noted the time of expiry.

Poems 2016

My religion

I believe in foliage
I believe in a catchy tune
I believe in animals drinking water
I believe in abundance

I believe in touch
I believe in the soil after rain

I believe in bedtime
when my mind's fingers unfurl

from the dream of a world

Yemen, Syria, the DRC or Tibet (now largely repopulated with settler Han Chinese),
which people in many countries
for reasons they themselves do not understand
feel impelled to scratch

soft as clay

and all things begin
in fire or water
in earth and air
in the angry hued expanse
that joins day to night
and in the soft rosy glow
of the turning to light

(Poem from 2016?)

inside I still feel like a young man
wanting to bed as many lovelies as he can
for the sweetness of skin
of silky down on the arm
and the soft apertures down there

but outside I'm ageing
I'm supposed to be settled and content with my lot
not staring at the strikingly tall blond schoolgirl
exploding out of her blouse

sweet regret
__________________


look into my eyes
watch my finger
your eyes are getting heavy
your body is relaxed
now close your eyes
and I'm going to count
down from 3 to 1
and when I reach one
I will snap my fingers
you will be asleep
and do and believe whatever I tell you:
 

Three, two, one...
SNAP!
 

Now you will believe
you can all drive your own cars and not have traffic jams and gridlock
you can show love and connectedness by going on a 33 hour shopping spree
that casino's can fight irresponsible gamboling and bars irresponsible drinking
that secret hungers can be legislated out of sight
that people in Holland and Australia can resolve problems in the Congo or the rape of slaves in Saudia by reading 3 articles in The Guardian and clicking on a petition
that a brave new world can be built on ancient prejudices
that you can run infomercials and commercials about weight loss products or brain training programs or wholesome milk from the farm and expect your children to tell you the truth
that political correctness can dissolve the fear and stuntedness which lies at the heart of bigotry
that people who are blind to their own splitting and disassociation and projection can effect harmonious change...
that you can fight cancer and environmental degradation and diabetes and sex trafficking and every other symptom whose roots you ignore with five minutes of attention and a small donation on one day a year


isn't it clear?
the universe is created
out of habits
words are a ritual we practice, more often than any other
we invite in the wild wolves of thought and then act surprised
when they gnaw at our wings and legs
so that we gradually loose the power
to walk and fly

emancipate language from the subjugation and colonisation
of commodification and media manipulation
move away from splitting and projection towards integration
leave tokenism behind, not mothers day or fathers day or cancer or earth day
but every day
like breathing, like walking, like brushing your teeth...

begin with a new daily ritual
check the labels
you have placed on your self
maybe you’ve missed something
that begs to be seen.

let compassion rule as the sovereign force in the universe
may it annihilate all barriers in its way
may it nudge all stunted process back into flow
acknowledging all beginning and end points are arbitrary
and all process is postponement
may it practice viveka - discrimination -
not in the sense of exploitation but to
see the rope from the snake
as in owning an impulse vs acting on it
as in telling benign from malign prejudice,
may It be revealed as such to me and to you

on that day
the body will exhale
our doubts will come galloping
over the hill like cavalry
each one an ugly duckling transformed
and the mind's chatter
will be a sweet serenade
letting us know
Adonai hu Elohim
the Lord of barriers and borders
is the Lord of unrestricted space
and that day is today

(from November 6 2013)

don't turn on the radio
stay with the tree
the sky
the humble dust
the breath
that isn't even yours

At the protest rally
the air was thick with
terminology and
passion
mine being for
the soulful
young females
who minced about
in embroidered chinese slippers

or chanted
purposefully
beneath tangled crowns of hair
their t-shirts and ethnic blouses

packed with sweet promise
and I, struck dumb 
by helpless longing, my
mute semi-presence
watched the proceedings
from behind the flat glass
of a drifter's seahole
through which I could
hardly be seen

___________

I go to the barber
who is old and sweet
I imagine it is Ramana giving me the haircut
he lays his hands on my head
and sets me free.
___________

In the place
where a 100 year old
Moreton bay fig stood
larger than a living thing
could plausibly be
now stands a pile of woodchips
surrounded by green grass
and behind it a parkscape
the tree had hid
I cannot truthfully say
that I love that space
any less than the tree

____________

Reality

My nervous system
has been set jangling
like a bunch of random keys
whose locks have long since perished
like a bell that tolls
in an endless cemetry
yet how I love
the almost imperceptible stain
on the coat of the woman
in front of me

_________________________ 


One day I looked down
and there was a pair of old men's legs
attached to a young mind
I wonder who they belong to?

___________________________
  
I'm invested heavily
in trees and earthworms
in piles of rotting leaves
in rainwater and ladybirds  

I took out a margin loan
on thank you cards
acknowledgement
course-correcting
long warm hugs
keeping my word

I've sunk resources into breath
into stretching and doing less

I have banked on dog-walking
at the regular time
and discovered the list of important tasks
I reluctantly set aside
was fiction
there was nothing to do


and now my stock is rising
the dividend is coming in
and the pay out of contentment
is in multiples of ten

Hedge shares 

the yield 

I even took a margin loan
when someone mentioned
the next big thing would be
random acts of kindness
and senseless acts of beauty
______________

"yes, well, I had a lot of luck as well... 

let me show you around the place
that? that's just a small thing I picked up
its called a chicken, and that is a broccolli
and that is an earthworm
worth?
the insurers
can't even put a value on them"

My quiet song
has been playing in the background
for so long
I have forgotten
that even worlds colliding

In the morning I lay an egg
then leave my house
to try and scratch out a living

my eggs have always vanished
tell me friends, I beseech thee
have you seen my eggs?

Its not easy to find uses for poetry

you can't hang it on the wall
to show you're wealthy and distinguished
you can't use it to unblock the sink
it will not take a headache away
it will not warm your fingers
on a chilly day

poetry is not feasible; it rarely pays for itself
it can sometimes soothe a thought-wound, true
bring some comfort, a panadol for the emotions

but you can't drive it to work
it won't keep out the rain
when you sprain your ankle
it won't block out the pain

Sort of About Helena

From a bus window
I glimpsed the straw hat
of a gardener who tended
the greenery
in our old building
and quickly filled in
her red hair, green eyes
cheroot, boots,
manly stance,
long jean clad legs
on impulse i rang the bell
and at the next stop
limp leaped off
and doubled back to where she had been
clipping some ground cover
imagining delighted surprise and how we would warmly greet
and exchange a few words as
we reminisced about the good old days
that never were
ending with the warm hug
of two strangers in the city
each trapped in their inexorable routines
who have found a brief island of kinship and connection
but when I caught up
it was a man
so I walked on by

DUSTING OFF THE UNIVERSE

When i leave my room
to begin dusting off the universe
I do my work tirelessly
I sweep away factory farms

and underpaid workers





the sadness of addiction
 

and unmet needs
I sweep away fear of death
and fear of life.
Things that have lain hidden
in cobwebbed cupboards
since the dawn of time
are pulled into the airy light
and, seen in the breath of fresh air,
melt to nothingness
I mop up cruelty
along with judgements about what is cruel
I sweep away resentment and blame
no matter how sticky they are
I polish every thing with contentment
and gratitude
both inside and outside.
The crusty thought that has calcified
on the surface of the mind
is softened and sold as fertliser
for unpredictable seeds that bear
fruit sweeter than you or I
could ever have imagined




Kadish (lezichra shel Batya Jaspan z"l)

May the name that every person
takes or makes
be blessed enough
as was yours -
child of God


Not knighted or praised, not glorified and exalted,
not decorated and adored and lauded,

but honoured, acknowledged and well regarded
by the honourable 
be

not so much just your name, but the work of your hands
and your heart
(blessed she)

above and beyond all the blessings,
hymns, praises and consolations
that are clung to in this world

May the earnest prayers
of the House of Israel
be accepted by the Source
who is present in the Dining Hall
the Clinic
the Children's Home
and amidst the trees
of the hills of Yehudah

As the sun sets over the cotton fields
may there be abundant peace
contentment, equilibrium, satisfaction, help,
comfort, refuge, redemption, forgiveness,
remembering and forgetting
for us and for all who love you

May the One who makes peace low and high
(God knows we do our best)
grant peace upon us
and on all those who mourn that
the light has flickered and dimmed for a while
before it shines again from
North, South East West
above Tzora and Pilgrims Rest

_____________

I knew a kibbutznik
who worked in the laundry by day
And at night slipped little poems under peoples doors
regarded as eccentric he was gossiped about
in the dining room
or after passing on the path
as happens in small communities
 

one day he silently
handed me a little booklet of his poems
photocopied and stapled
and I still have it
somewhere

-----------------------

Your gap toothed breasts beneath a cotton blouse

How your atoms danced for me
in layers of unease and free
we tried to harness biology
like the wave tried to subjugate the sea
 _______________

I saw your pixels on a moving train

Do you have parents
or were you born from the sea
and would you share
your breasts with me
perhaps we can meet with tears or laughter
with no before and who knows what after
you wear your body and I'll wear mine
there's  a diamond in a cave that
emerges in time / perhaps a diamond
will emerge in time

Still carried with him

Gateh gateh paragateh*

Its not easy being a poet
With a disordered personality
I stand and look at plants
and animals wistfully
I snap at people who snap at me
at the merest thought I'm being slighted

my fragile self esteem tumbles and falls
I stop speaking to you
but it ends as punishment for me
I sentence myself
to hours in solitary
but suddenly from nowhere - space
and I can see it all from a different place
so often i am called and become
a grateful state of grace
compassion and resilience return 
I love to set things straight
my Teacher in whose word I trust
has brought me to the gate


__________________________ 

I inspect my plants
like a commander inspects his soldiers:
"Good
"Get those aphids off you"
"Very good"
"Stand up straight or I'll have you tied to a post"
"Where are your leaves?"
"Excellent"
"Remove that caterpillar or I'll knock it off you"
"
Very nice" 
and before I dismiss myself
I take a few moments
to gaze at my troops
with quiet satisfaction

I bequeathe to my children
the Pomegranate tree
and if the fire devours it
I bequeathe to them the charcoal

I bequeathe to my children
the piano keys
chipped like teeth
from chewing notes
their granny played
In Benoni and Johannesburg
and their mother played
In Joburg and Sydney

I bequeath to my children
the Hebrew books they cannot read
and the Yiddish ones I cannot read
but keep
as a vague monument to an amputated limb

I bequeath to them the English books -
the big words and the small
enjembements, commas and full stops
with the caveat that
no matter how delightful
the pointing finger
will never be the moon

I bequeath to them time in the garden
I bequeath to them time with friends
I bequeath to them time with creatures
that do not speak with words
bequeath to them my receptive memory
for phrase and lyric, for all that resonates
beauty, gesture, essence, feeling
bequeath to them
my tidal heart

I wouldn't get bored when I am alone
if only I had a bigger smart phone
