Peter Pan Fathers
Written by

Cerebral late bloomers
These Peter Pan fathers
Children without childhoods
Should come with warnings
Lest emotional women
Take them improperly
And hurt themselves
How did I forget that (Sunday night's not great for thinking, apparently...)

Didn't even touch the VoIP stuff (yet) today (though did have a short phone call or two about it). I had forgotten on Sunday that I was going to phone a distributor Monday morning. Basically spent the whole day on the phone call, research to answer some questions (yes, Cinemon should be 100% Euro-DOCSIS compatible ...
Interesting, but not particularly productive (Playing with log-files...)

I've been somewhat frustrated with the webalizer output I've been using to review my site. It only shows the top 30 or so pages on the site, includes the search-engine's crawling in the data-set, and doesn't provide any sort of information about what things are linked together, what people are looking for, that kind of ...
About time I thought about organising the poems (A few too many to just list them out...)
Written by

The poetry page has been growing quite a bit lately. There's now something like 170 poems up there, with just "romantic" versus "not romantic" to organise them. Not sure how to organise them, really... maybe poetry just shouldn't be organised... but then what are poetry editors doing for their daily bread? Maybe just add a ...

Vindaloo.
I dreamed dry Athena's dreams last night
Full of artifice and dreadful mechany
How sad the goddess must be today
With such hollow dreams to fill her sleep
No heart beating no messy life
She would I'm sure rather dream of victory
Descending from the heavens
To annoint the worthy crowns
But those days of ...!-->!-->!-->!-->!-->!-->!-->!-->!-->!-->

Should I be amazed
Five were writing verse
Or that there were so few
Why set bloody pen to paper
But what else could you do
Awkward to Remember
Written by

I so seldom touch another
Its awkward to remember
What they expect
When shaking hands
Counting Fractions
Written by

Vindaloo.
Part of me worked out fractions
Counting how many times I'd been hugged
Versus a count for the average day
Part of me sang quiet tunes of joy
Listen Carefully
Written by

If you listen carefully
You can hear the world
Screaming quietly
In your ear
Diamonds or Coal-fires
Written by
on
in
Vindaloo.
If I write a thousand verses
Will I find a hundred gold
Or will the writing of the thousand
Turn the whole to rotten steel
Would I rather write in diamonds
Crystals pressed from darkest smoke
Or write mountains of dark coal
And wait for pressure from below
