WhatWhyHow???

This year, I set myself the foolish task of trying to write something every day, and what you see here is the result. None of this is finished, polished, or in any way good. It's usually a few lines at the end of the day when I'm tired, my head's broken, and this nonsense spills out of it onto the page. Feel free to comment away, and if you think anything has any potential then let me know and I might have a go at working on it further.

But hang on, where's the first month? You've ripped us off! I hear you say... Well, yes. I have been writing since the beginning of January, but it's taken me a while to get the blog up, so everything here is a month old.

Mechanical music

With a flick and a spin the spindle spits
The marble clean along the track
And mirrored metal guides the ball
Through fly-wheels geared to increase speed
And floating corners banked to feed
That pinball hurtling back.

Through a tunnel into the light
Of a flamboyant heretical chef,
With utensils used in unknown ways
Under a grater into a sieve
Where it spirals round and shoots out with
The bass whirl of a clef.
