bottle on the table
He watched his grandfather drink it,
He watched his grandfather feed it to his mother...
It was good enough for them
Yet he cant help but hesitate,
He pulls back, waits, contemplates if he should.
Hes seen them drink it but hes seen what it can do.
As they swig from the right...
...they retch on the left.
Pour down one way and throw it back up.
Hes seen them drink it and he knows what it will do.
It makes him sick even thinking about it... but,
It was good enough for them
So despite his fears, he succumbs from the pressure
applied by his peers. He heads to the spot where
theyve all stood before and once more he reaches for
it...

He takes a sip and then a gulp... then he begins to buy
into the pulp... it all seems fine...
It was good enough for them
so its good enough for him...
...until, he coughs, splatters, brings out his stomach
matter the contents of his gut rest on the floor... and
despite this... he drinks more.
He becomes drunk on the poison spread by each
generation, by his nation that labelled him and put him
in his station.
He becomes drunk like all of the rest - Who use that one
excuse to prove what is best
It was good enough for us.
Still he makes no fuss and instead lives his days, drinking
always and eventually turning his gut.
Then when he stands before his child...
When he stands there as his son or daughter hesitates
and waits, stops in horror at what this poison does
cant believe that everyone keeps drinking it and asks
him...
Why?

Without sigh or murmur,
Without pause of stutter,
Hell offer this piece to him or her for free...
It was good enough...
He pauses
But still continues
...it was good enough for me.
How weak of him.

politician X
Dear Politician X
I sat in on one of your meetings the other day and made
some notes... that... Id like to share.
Bare with me as I ramble and rantthrough this descant
of words to give you a clear picture.
Firstly, may I just start by saying. Wow! Fantastic! How
great you must feel that you can reel off lie after shit
and knock blows with wit, is it wit or is it just you not
answering the question and changing subject, I forget...
but still after all that song and dance the public still gave
you the chance to make... the chance to MAKE... MAKELOVE... to their country from behind.
I just wanted to congratulate you on that.
So, back to my main POINT. My reason for writing to
you this lettar.
As I sat in on your meeting, after all the greeting and hole
sniffing (agh) I mean... heh, sorry... I meant hand
shaking. I noticed that you pulled out a map of a country
that wasnt yours, a land you DID NOT own and I
couldnt quite understand why you pulled out a knife
and carved up the land. You sliced through peoples
lives with your rusty knives... I just thought, I keep

thinking... had you been drinking? What possessed you
to flap out onto the table your authority and leak it all
over those who did not vote you to be their leader,
what possessed you? Hmmm...
Then, and this made me laugh (ha ha haar) Then you
produced a cake, made from the blood and sweat of
those who hired you and you took that rusty old knife
again (By the way I think you might want to get that
checked) and you sliced off parts of the pudding... forthe bin. You chucked the crumbs in the bin, and for all
your sin... the label on the dump pile said... Provided by
the Bank. That label on the bin said PROVIDED BY THE
BANK... I believe you have a misprint, perhaps you were
too skintwhat with all the cake cutting, to afford the
correct sign but it should have read (youll find)
Provided for the Bank. Im sure the extra letterwouldnt have cost you too much. Such a thing you will
agree?
I think, really, you have to see quite clearly through all
of this... that you sir or madam are taking the piss. If I
were one of your loyal subjects I would be quite
stirred... when all these entertainers and money lendersare being given gold... for? I would take offence from
this I would be outraged at this slap dash attempt to
misdirect our fate! Are you here to help? or to simply
dominate? Remember who put you there, and feel the
scare as this continues to pulsate through your mind,

time after time once you have walked away from what I
have said...
and I promise you the echo will chase you...
REMEMBER THIS, TODAY... The people... have the last
say, and they will get their way... they have before and
they will agen, so make sure you cut the cake for the
right men... and not your friend...
We gave you your house... so when you take away
ours...
We gave you your job... so when you take away ours...
WE PAY YOUR WAY! ... so when you cut away at ours...
Just remember...
Signed, Yours Sincerely... and ever more... Gallimaufry...
the Ineffable.

revelation
I heard he was coming and I couldn't resist - my wish
was simply to see, hear and maybe touch - I wasn't
asking much but I just had to go and show everyone
what was true.
I've been dying to meet you.
So we waited for the hour for hours, queued and linedbut
no one seemed to mind. They'd heard so much all ready
and sure as I was and as certain as the sun - there he
rose - from behind a rock and onto another.
The crowd seemed desperate - it made me laugh.
Each clawed - journalist to their name.
Each begged for their truth however none would be the
same.
To each he seemed more like them, dread locked over
them as he opened mouth, none so sure as to what
would spout.
Their truth or ours... and how sour they went when he
uttered this to them all.

I am not your master
I am but a teacher, a preacher of promise that if you
live your life in a set way you will be eternally
rewarded some day.
and what way is that? - cried every thought bubble
around...
and the ground went quiet, no voice - no riot.
Live life and love to please the one above.
Be true to you and your sisters and brothers,
spread love to all others no matter their choice - you
are his voice...
but you are not his court.
All the things you have fought come from him - they
are not sin!
Why would a magnificence make suffering? You are
the ones who inflict it and for nothing, but a simple
guilt of pleasure - lust for anothers treasure - you are
the ones to be under measure... and you weigh heavy.
displeased by the truth revealed -
Some, dropped their sword and shield...

Some, dropped dead in that field...
...others turned to opposite rock, where a group or flockhad sat staring at nothing. Yet somehow they felt
unfulfilled.
However - a small little branch born of the live life and
love ranch - threw hands aloud and sang how proud...and they...
...they lived life and loved,
and they were taken above...
to be with the matter of the same, those who didn'tregard the verbal gain, the backwaterlot had so readily
used-no matter how crude... to put themselves on
others.
and all of them lived and loved
with the true judge in heaven
the one from above.
Yeah... that was a good day for me.

overly stimulated
an essay by G@maufry.inef.fable . . .
on the changes of information interaction throughout
a range starting in the 1700s (Jane Austin times) to
now, today (April... 2011, just before the wedding).
Essay reads like this...
Part One
Information is the un-fulfilling food
that makes appetite grow more and more.
No sooner is it consumed that we crave more...
the next hit.

Part Four
From the points raised,
the conclusion must thus be made...
that in reality, quite simply your causality for
the information bender is not the sender but in
fact you...
You! Human Race, Mankind...
face the inevitable truth and blame you are
guilty and how do you plead?
why do you need... such titillation,
such occupation, the frustration caused by
this surge and gorge of information...?
Dont blame psychology, dont hide behind
sociology... you have a problem which
you need to admit,
every last one of you... is an information addict.

something done
I'm so angry at the way you treat each other... and no, this
isn't a metaphor for war.
this is a
metaphor for truth.
Youth mistreated by the 'wise'
The elder disrespected by the younger and this,
this ladies and
gentlemen, boys and girls is because of those little pearls of
wisdom, those shots of angst that are fired by the lowest in
the ranks.
The special ones, pure and true who believe you (aged orexpecting) are decidedly objectionable
because you're opinion is different to them, insufficient to
them.
They are the disease and if you please... Here's why.
They are the shit stirrers of our congregation who wait in
anticipation to snipe, with their tripe and wipe you clean of
your dignity. Figuratively, they are the bridge built over flat
dry land, they are a house built on sand, they are sess, in
honesty, utterly useless.

They have some assemblance of thought that ought to show
intelligence but their sentience instead come from a series of
biological reactions, that fractionally is a large percentage oftheir ability.
Futility, you try to reason but to them that's treason, so they
h
a
n
g
you with the rope made of their limited scope
and somehow believe justice has been served.
How I despise what they do to the good of you, the best ofyou. How they cut away and brand because they cannot
stand that you are better, or different...
Originality.the bullet with their name on, ready to kill when they step out
their walled prison and glimpse the vision of tomorrow.
They pull you apart and put blocks in your way because they,
are afraid to be made.
How I hope you come to realise their lies and surprise them
with a kiss of talent and taste, that gives actualisation oftheir waste.
I pray to all gods and none that you will help... something
must be done.

exodus
Listen to this calvin klein expression...
The smart detention.
Where IQ is redeemed on nectar card.
Is intelligence a new brand?
Utter this new nation.
I shudder as I stare on,
At the fad gone on too long...
Those who breed their corruption,
Pups never stood a chance.
The aspiration for high, sold.
In administration.

Each town house torn down for un-impressive eyesore,makes my eyes sore.
And as they march out of city, town and state...
By the ones who wish only to fornicate the culture...
Sent out to wonder amongst the vulture.
They still hold their ideals to their heart, its what
keeps them apart... and together.
As they leave they cause no situation, no problem, no
fuss...
As they leave and begin their... exodus.

Perhaps the new clan, someday will understand as theyare driven out to rot by a less
intelligent, lifeless dot. A spot on the face. That brings
shame and disgrace to your attempts at
developing your race and making them shine into space.
And perhaps when they leave, pushed out by the lesser,
they'll have learnt their lesson.
They'll be full of regret and maybe they'll have sussed...
They're next... for the exodus.

That day changed all as the thrall became the meat of thestock
and the flock grew in number with wade, shot up, not to fade
for a long time...
...and nothing disturbed this increase in fold, one murmur on
the booming soul
that gave the people a cry at night, a fright, a cough, a ring ofdeath passed by breath
but still it kept moving forward, always onward, up higher
and higher, climbing out of mire
then from under 2000 the boom big bang came, and once
again its rocket shot up even more.

It soared, it broke the roof, the chain, never again be the
same, thanks to the food, the blood and the machine. Once
more it didnt stop, or drop it kept leaning back and up andfrom one to two, came me, came you and us and all and
everyone. With the sun shining down on the grass on the
ground, each of us a blade of a field, and the field wont stop
its spread. As more struggle to find that bread, have them
bled... use machine. The cream still of the crop, still at the
top, the top of a huge pile and for a while it was said that less
born, more dead. That was shattered when it once again...
boomed. Follow the boom, with an echo. Let the wave keep
rolling up to tower... now straight, up, like a ladder. 7 will
break next year, 7 will be our fate... and how many more will
take up the space after this record breaking date? Stood on
shoulder, stood heel to heel, feel your neighbours breath on
your neck. Theres too many, so many... and at one point, it
will pop. The number will drop. Perhaps... you need to stop,
or be stopped... Self cull of your fruit... cut off at the root...
what a state, time to control before the crust breaks...
...un...der
....the
weight.

sat on his step
part one
I watched a man today, sit on the steps outside his house and
fade away into thought...
I stepped inside his mind to find him dreaming.
He was thinking about his future,
his hopes and ambitions all shooting through this vision.
He saw his child born,
learn to talk, walk and grow into a child, and for a while
he was happy.
Then came the burning winds of realisation...
that his child could not be born into this nation...
The economic hardship was sailing and failing his chance to
build this life with his future wife.

witnessing pain
part two
So he spent all this time learning to swim only to drown in
the shallow end doing the doggie paddle.
What a waste. Time - Money - Mind.
Now it melts away at him.
Looks up at the sky and cries... cries out...
What the Fuck?
He screams at me
my bubble has burst...and Im choking on the soap,
...and looks at me like Ive got the answers... well!
see right through me...
...cause I lack an answer to bring peace to your soul.

The only answers in life come from living... and you may feel
Im giving you a cold
shoulder, perhaps I should be bolder and try to give you
something to chew... but thats just
what fakes and phony's do.
Just sit with it a little longer,
and maybe... youll find your own way.

i cant help but wonder...
Some like blue MnMs and some like green... what do I
mean? I hear you say.
With a world like the palette, with such a mix... I cant help
but wonder why people get their fixfrom pointing out your
choice. Judge not by the skin, Judge not by the crutch... Judge
on merits and experience.
Some like Tesco and some like Spar... and I would go as faras to say...
With a world like the genre, with such variety... I cant help
but take offence at those in societywho condemn and damn
someone for a natural reaction, something out of their
hands... and why? What is your reason to hate them, toshade them differently?
You have no real answers do you?
8/4/2019 Gallimaufry the Ineffable - Vol 1
35/36
Copyright of Thom Boulton 2011 page 35
You have no real explanation... you simply lean on a weak
case of ancient rotten texts or because an elder once made
mention...that is not reason, that is not rhyme or response...that is hiding behind a weak repeat...
Move forward with us, hand in hand... we the respect, will
wait for you to catch up...
Be a part of tomorrow and watch the new dawn with us
all... but dont stay hidden behind yourfence, your defence
to help you make offence...rise and shine.
This is a new day.
