I love love<br />

but find people<br />

distracting.<br />

"Libra Man"<br />

by John Irvine<br />

My socks are<br />

geometrically arranged<br />

in colour gradients,<br />

washing on <strong>the</strong> line<br />

is pegged out in order<br />

<strong>of</strong> garment type<br />

in descending size<br />

left to right.<br />

Sex is vital<br />

marriage isn't<br />

and committment is<br />

for o<strong>the</strong>r people.<br />

I straighten<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r folk's pictures<br />

and become irritated<br />

when <strong>the</strong>y can't see<br />

my point <strong>of</strong> view.<br />

I'm only diplomatic<br />

because I abhor<br />

confrontation,<br />

and I have an opinion<br />

on everything.<br />

My mind is tidy<br />

pigeon-holed<br />

ordered<br />

sorted<br />

biased<br />

predilected<br />

pre-decided<br />

and indecisive.<br />

But I'm pleasant enough<br />

fair to <strong>the</strong> eye
