  • A journey into winter

    Death affects only the living.

  • A scream

    Zoos are difficult places…
    So many species and individuals saved, so many cared for…
    And yet all I remember from my visit is a gibbon screaming defiance at the
    crossed-out sky.

  • Monday lunchtime

    The pub is a cemetery
    full of bodies that lost their souls
    on the way to the office.

  • Advertising Space

    Advertising is filling up spaces in our lives,
    oversaturating them with salient words and images that carry no meaning,

  • Reflection on mixed metaphors

    I’d rather lose an arm and a leg

  • Castle Ruins

  • Rubbish

    If you think about it,
    all the anti-utopian stories of children leaving the bankrupt world of adults
    are based on a very optimistic premise
    that our children will be better than us in spite of what we do… 
    I am afraid not.

  • Cities

    Cities…
    boxes upon boxes,
    crowded with the world’s most dangerous predators,
    noisy,
    indifferent,
    dirty,
    piling up higher and higher,
    all the way to heaven.
