I remember my first time my girl at the time and I took the long way home to get some time alone it was soft warm extremely comforting I wanted it to last forever but we arrived too early I remember my first time with Her we were in the shopping centre in the bedding store she reached for my hand I panicked and pulled away knocking boxes off the shelves narrowly missing Her head she thought it was a sign and I didn't correct her but now in this moment on our walk home I hold her hand for the first time and it's fucking Exhilarating --The Urban Fisherman

I haven't seen them in a few days I'd like to think I helped them to straighten up their lives ditch the needles and maybe get a real job but I think they probably just OD'd in the car park on swan and punt where I park my car there's a bush at the back I haven't checked yet they must have washed the bird shit off my car window 20 times and a few dollars a time that's enough for any man to straighten up or to up the dosage and I'll hit the 20 mark late next week so please check the back bush Saturday -- The Urban Fisherman

The are times during the early hours of the night that I felt more alone with her than when I was actually alone she would just sit there at her end of our red couch and everything about her everything I thought I loved wasn't on the couch with us whatever we had that thing we called love gone and to be lonely again like actually lonely seems to be my deepest desire -- The Urban Fisherman

She has red earrings with nail polish and lipstick to match they are all my favourite colours although she says they are different reds but it doesn't matter to me cause red is red to me lately I have started to see the subtle differences in the reds because I once thought women were all the same but they come in many shades of red and mine's the prettiest -- The Urban Fisherman

The greatest fear I have is leaving my fear suspended on the wall like a Huntsman spider to fetch a glass and some paper from my type writer only to return to see the fear has gone I prefer knowing the fear won't sneak up on me while I drink from the glass and leave to get another praying it didn't move under the bottle --The Urban Fisherman

Watching videos of us having a better time than we are watching a better time but they aren't better times for if we wanted those better times we would rail the line in front of us and pretend we are philosophical -- The Urban Fisherman

NaPoWriMo 23/4

It was a night indented for me to say goodbye to my friends as I was off overseas indefinitely to try something else and escape a hell my best friend asked me to have another it was late but I obliged she told me she needed me just one more time before I left her she kissed me on the cheek and told me to wait and walked away in the distance I could see her with her boy friend and as she walked back to me he just stood there staring at the ground she came back and cried on my shoulder for the last time and I selfishly told her I'd miss her --The Urban Fisherman

Sunday brings a lot of people a great deal of pain the agonising headaches the fears of Monday the fears of sobriety but there is a part of Sunday everyone forgets a part that makes the hell of a working week, and the alcohol consumed to bare it worthwhile well at least for us non church folk I'm talking about waking up next to Her and taking that morning quest for coffee together the stress of the week and night before Dissolve like sugar in coffee as you stare into those brown eyes it won't cure the hangover but all I need in life is my beautiful woman to help me brace it that to me I think that's love -- The Urban Fisherman

The choice to play Johnny Cash while doing 80 in a 60 zone had little to do with the outlaw blues and more to do with the speed of y car determining the loudness of the music The car gets faster and faster the music louder and louder and she just sits in the passenger seat and smiles and holds my hand because together we walk the line --The Urban Fisherman

The back of my hair is knotted I've been laying around too much drinking in my recliner and showering very little people tell me to get a hair cut or to get dreads but I wouldn't chose ratty Dirty hair it's mearly a curse for looking good I keep my hair long And curly because this world has a tendency to bore me and it's easier to play with my hair than balls so if you see me with knots in the back of my hair take me home I shouldn't be out --The Urban Fisherman

Long gone are the days of Metcard filters as melbournes train system devolves so too does the rat in the street no longer does the rat hang in the sewer rolling joints the rat has learnt to crush pills with his new plastic myke and at $6 a card he will get his money's worth Metro isn't the only ones spending more money on non supportive systems the rats still run the lines they are just more lively These days they miss their joints --The Urban Fisherman

My Girl that's what I call her not for ownership but to show I'm faithful and responsible for the things that happen to her and the way she's treated I don't do much without My Girl for the last time we were apart our hands longed to touch each other and itchy fingers are hard to scratch and a longing hand is irresponsible --The Urban Fisherman

Bunny rabbits scamper through my living room I don't know where they came from or why they are here it's some sort of Easter nighthare they have me in the corner of the room frightened wishing I had lettuce to bribe my way out all I have is this blinding headache the rabbits are settling in I take the opportunity to leave the corner to get another bottle and return to hide in the corner today the rabbits won --The Urban Fisherman
