TALES TOLD BY AN IDIOT - Randall Stephens: Rouge Rider - 19/07/2015
http://randallstephens.blogspot.com/2015/07/rouge-rider-19072015.html
Poetry without pretense. Occasionally with spell checking. Sunday, July 19, 2015. Rouge Rider - 19/07/2015. I'm looking out the window at this shiny red woman's bike, locked to a hoop on Sydney road with a matching red helmet. I'm madly in love with this bike and it's imaginary owner. She will have forgotten all about her bike, just as I forgot about my stuff at the Laundromat. Don't ask me what happened to the rose. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

TALES TOLD BY AN IDIOT - Randall Stephens: If I don't make it back, you call in the air strike - 20/05/2015
http://randallstephens.blogspot.com/2015/05/if-i-don-make-it-back-you-call-in-air.html
Poetry without pretense. Occasionally with spell checking. Tuesday, May 19, 2015. If I don't make it back, you call in the air strike - 20/05/2015. It will help when you're feeling low. Is what you make of life. Make some art for yourself. Or art of yourself. Go write a poem. Sit and draw a picture. Brush up on your painting. Take a whole bunch of photos. Then take them somewhere. Out of joyless night. Or a paper plane. Or make a blog about paper planes. Make anything, into something. Make it up as you go.

TALES TOLD BY AN IDIOT - Randall Stephens: Day One - 27/05/2015
http://randallstephens.blogspot.com/2015/05/day-one-27052015.html
Poetry without pretense. Occasionally with spell checking. Wednesday, May 27, 2015. Day One - 27/05/2015. Instantly falling in love. With any woman out cycling. What I can go without. Is being this fucking good. At telling you all about. What I should be. Got enough shoulds here. To starve a whole village. I can do privation. Like it's a vice. And all the while. Only thing really wrong. Something that is wrong with me. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). New poetry book available now. Day One - 27/05/2015.

TALES TOLD BY AN IDIOT - Randall Stephens: July 2015
http://randallstephens.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Poetry without pretense. Occasionally with spell checking. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Some Loose Change - 29/07/2015. Busker over there is so bad. Think he owes me a few dollars out of his hat. Last night owes me three hours more sleep. Smokers on the lawn here owe me cleaner air. Cars owe me a whole lane to myself. Plus a few less opened-door fractures on my ribs. X girlfriend owes me like a year and a half back. Poetry in Melbourne owes me at least five more. Social work another ten on top of that. Sunday...

TALES TOLD BY AN IDIOT - Randall Stephens: Still Haven’t Ever Gone Fishing Yet - 03/07/2015
http://randallstephens.blogspot.com/2015/07/still-havent-ever-gone-fishing-yet.html
Poetry without pretense. Occasionally with spell checking. Friday, July 3, 2015. Still Haven’t Ever Gone Fishing Yet - 03/07/2015. I’m better with prose. Though I’m a better poet. Than I am a social worker. But a better social worker. Than I was last time round. As employee, I’m an honest man. And as an honest man I’m better. Not saying anything else. Better with telling the story. Wonderful lover, lousy partner. Better at making friends. Better with burning bridges. Than just saying no. Most of the time.

TALES TOLD BY AN IDIOT - Randall Stephens: much of our muchness - 24/05/2015
http://randallstephens.blogspot.com/2015/05/much-of-our-muchness-24052015.html
Poetry without pretense. Occasionally with spell checking. Saturday, May 23, 2015. Much of our muchness - 24/05/2015. There was a time. When we didn't incessantly post up. Every thought and feeling online. We were not given to display. Each and every wound. For random strangers and stalkers. For the creeps, freaks, frenemies. And the odd lurking relative. Of course we were better. In our own private companies. Also we were happier. With who we were being. Naturally I was better. What I have now become.

TALES TOLD BY AN IDIOT - Randall Stephens: Sex Hair - 28/05/2015
http://randallstephens.blogspot.com/2015/05/sex-hair-28052015.html
Poetry without pretense. Occasionally with spell checking. Saturday, May 30, 2015. Sex Hair - 28/05/2015. Somehow he'd never heard that phrase. Before she mentioned it. Saying it over and over. Kid with a new toy. Sex hair, sex hair haha. Her sex hair yeah. I like your sex hair. He writes down everything he likes. He likes to use everything he likes. He likes to show people what he writes. Just to work phrases in. To figure things out. And she didn't like. The things he wrote. He could respect that.

TALES TOLD BY AN IDIOT - Randall Stephens: P.S. I Hate Cops - 07/06/2015
http://randallstephens.blogspot.com/2015/06/ps-i-hate-cops-07062015.html
Poetry without pretense. Occasionally with spell checking. Sunday, June 7, 2015. PS I Hate Cops - 07/06/2015. If I wasn't feeling lousy when I rode here, then by the time I got done with two police officers here debating the semantics of where the train station starts and ends, and where I stopped cycling to avoid a fine, did the trick. I'd like to think so. Except for when dealing with cops trying to impose on you, then I need to be as intimidating and assertively confident as I possible. I can do t...
