minima-B was an idea for my poetry and art to combine. hugely influenced by haiku, hence the minima and also by basho and beefheart, hence the B. i would like to think that i had, like my great hero, captain beefheart, created, by merging various elements, something new. something a little different. unique even. i probably haven't but i am very proud of these works. here, then, are my arty farty bits.

carnival of freaks









he was only a spare part from a young mans dream. a youth who recoiled at the harness that society placed upon his shoulders. 'mother', he would ask, 'is it me?'



a smile would flit across her comely face.



'the world is full of oddities. make your life a carnival of freaks'
