I've just been Googling 'Doncaster groups' in an attempt to find a group that I might be interested in joining. I spent more time than I usually do on searches, getting as far as page fifty. Nothing that appealed to me though.

I don't seem to be (and never have been) a member of any obvious community of interest. It's a terrible thing to mention (but it's the truth) that sometimes I'm envious of people with long-term chronic illnesses or social problems such as addiction or criminal behaviour. At least these people know they're not on their own and have a support network in place.

There's nothing out there for me.

DECAYING ORBIT

I woke this day,
No come-back,
Only a gentle groan.

The moon is still the moon.

Beyond the biosphere
I slowly piss blood
Into a recently kicked bucket.

Dahlias, fuchsias, hollyhocks (secondary blooms), French marigolds, English marigolds. Fortunately no ground frost yet.

LINES

As a child
My father would
Warn me about
Sitting too close
To the T.V. set.

Radiation; you see.

Now the Cold War's over
I read sci-fi in the corner
Of the living room.

INSTINCT

Yet again
She'd got
The hots
For the man
Who came
To repair
The orgasmatron.
