Weird







portrait of a poet
who attracts odd bods
like moths to a flame



weird and wonderful
strange unique
salvador dali




weird
is not always
wonderful




memories of
chalk throwing mother martina
the school's psycho nun




weltschmerz
weird to be thinking again
in the language of my grandmother's nightmares



a startling sensation
turning up for a poetry reading
at the wrong venue

    As ever you make me smile, chuckle and ponder - that's the beauty of being 'weird'

    LOL at the last one! These are wonderfuly, Rall.......I had a psycho nun too, she terrorized us in elementary school, but when she taught us in grade nine we werent scared of her any more. She totally lost it one day and was taken straight from the classroom to the funny farm and was never seen again.

    Ours disappeared too. She used to throw chalk at us. I can remember having uncontrollable fits of the giggles.If she thought the homework handed in was not up to standard...she would hold up the offending work to the class, and then throw the books out of the window...hilarious...which of course made us worse .I thought she was great. We were terrible, handing in the most outrageous work ( well outrageous by convent gels standards)

    These are all gems – and the Trump observation is particularly apt. (Oh, I hope we don't all end up laughing out of the other side of our faces, as MY grandmother used to say.)

    My psycho nun began by ordering us to SILENTLY get on line in alphabetical order. We didn't know each others' names. She got furious when we whispered until she realized her rediculous mistake. After that she entered the class on most days in a fury, threw her books and the desk and threatened anyone who clicked thier ball point pen. It was so easy to drive her mad.
    Anyway, I love these clips Rail, especially the Donald Trump one.

    Better to be weird than bland, no one can ever take you for granted.
