Here's a haiku by the Japanese master, Matsuo Bashō.
かれ朶に
烏のとまりけり
秋の暮
On a withered branch
a crow has alighted ~
nightfall in autumn.

WELL WINTER's here and my sleep pattern's all over the place. But thankfully I managed to sleep all night. The chemist (or whoever does the formulation) is putting excessive amounts of green colouring in my methadone. I'm sure my guts look tie-died... All the staff probably think I'm crazy as I sit waiting for it on the old pensioners' chairs, poring over books of mysterious Eastern motifs. They keep walking past to see what I'm reading. Anyway here's some videos ~
BEN ~ DIARY OF A HEROIN ADDICT.
i lifted this link from Noah's Heroinitis nodnodnodout.blogspot.com blog
You can see the rest on my other blog here.
I don't know whether or not to get more of these:
(sorry about the loud techno music. I'm old now. Too old for that:)
Or even one of these (a cat, not a plant)
What is methadone's real colour?
ReplyDeleteWhite. A white powder dissolved in a heavily gloopy syrup with so much sugar (I just found out) that if it were for children it would be banned!
ReplyDeleteThe syrup is coloured with 3 different yellow and green E-numbered colouring agents.
ReplyDeleteGreat short poem. Winter is creeping in on me too!!
ReplyDeleteMy cats are angry drunks on catnip. Very mean to each other. We stopped giving it to them.
I watched a deal going down where I have my lunch today . .I sit by the river for 15 mins with an iced coffee and there's a bunch of guys who meet their dealer on Thursdays. Very sad. They're not purse snatching granny killers either.. stick with the program Gleds.
ReplyDeleteHIT 40: ANGRY CATS ON CATNIP..??? SURELY NOT! I ONCE HAD AN OLD FRIEND (IE MY FRIEND'S LANDLADY) WHO WAS IN HOSPITAL FOR A HEART BYPASS. HER CAT WAS MISERABLE BC HE HATED LIVING ON A BALCONY AS MUCH AS ANYTHING. ANYWAY I BOUGHT A HUGE BAG OF CATNIP FROM NIELS YARD HERBALISTS AND STEEPED IT IN BOILING WATER FOR 5 MINS, COOLED IT DOWN AND GAVE IT TO HIM. HE WENT MENTAL AND LOVED ME FOREVER AFTER THAT!
ReplyDeleteBTW THE POEM SHOULD HAVE SAID "ON a withered branch"... bloody computer cut it off.
BAINO: I HEARD A STORY OFF VALIUM MARILYN YESTERDAY ABOUT CITY STOCKBROKERS GOING TO LONDON KINGS CROSS FLATS IN THE 1980S TO SCORE AND SHOOT UP HEROIN IN LUNCHBREAKS!
My sleep patterns all fucked up, too, Gleddy. You are not alone, my friend.
ReplyDeleteLove, SB.
No winter here. In the low 80's today. I want some cooler weather.
ReplyDeleteRoborovskis are cute. Have you ever tried giving a hamster some coke? Me neither as probally drive them up the wall.
ReplyDeleteThey much be naturally high to run on the wheel at such fast speed. Love them.
