Man in the Woods
There was a man in the woods,
He showed me his penis.
I said "Good morning",
And kept on walking.
Saviour - The Disappearance of John Henley
Whoever desires to be saved,
Should above all hold to lies.
Scatter your faith and your trust for it matters not,
Murals in the chapels of our minds.--

Athanasia - The Disappearance of John Henley
The pursuit of meaning,
A veiled reality lies bare.
Perpetual and draining,
Morbid and dark.
There's a light for some,
An eclipse for many.
Fear of death,
Fear of life.
Come the end,
Please come the end.--
Original Poem by James Birchall

The Lonely Astronaut
He thought about things.
He missed his wife,
He missed his kids.
He missed five-aside football in the park,
He missed air.
