Sinister: sinister haikus revealed // week ten // two thousand and two

[ee fumblings]

Ive been reading a
collection of Japanese
senryu poetry.

This is how I came
to own a Belle Sebastian
tea towel. I think.

Knowing how to say
padova ya padovnayen
certainly can't hurt.

I said, you are all
talk and then action. And then
talk again. It's true.

God. This internet
cafe is playing the most
terrible music.

I just...can't. On the
plane yesterday, I watched the
Royal Tenenbaums.

Royal Tenenbaums.
It lacks something on a inch
screen in pan and scan.

How twee is that? I'll
still buy you a pint when you
move to London 'tho.

New York, NY told me
I'd meet a man with the name
David very soon.

So far, no good. Where
is my David? Will keep you
posted (can you wait?).

I will ever feel
adult. And then I think I
won't ever want to.

We knew each other
well. We could read each other
like an open book.

He knew when I was
too tired or worried to
talk reasonably.

It was my news site
for all the good indie news
and album reviews.

President's War on
Terror in Iraq and God
knows where else. Yemen.

Miss Madeleine was
asking how to occupy
your mind whilst swimming.

Discussions are lost
amid the fray before they
really get started.

I think. Also it
is about how the world is
bigger than you think.

I haven't told you
it before I have, but not
from this point of view.

Want to prove to those
who say you can't have what you
want that they are wrong.

In my life, things keep
getting better and then worse
again and so on...

York is just too far
away. And I got a bit
scared, to be honest.

Scotland!! The land of
Belle and Sebastian!! And she
wasn't scary at all.

I have faith god is
on my side. Were we worried?
Well of course we were.

I can't remember
myself thinking it won't be
good, not even once.

I went back to Greece
and told my mum, and all she
did was say okay.

And now not only
did I have my idea
I had some money.

Somehow my mum just
knows these things because as it
turns out she was right.

We have booked our
tickets for the London and
Edinburgh gigs.

I would. Right, this must
be my most serious post,
ironic really.

Dear all Sinister
is a place which is dear to
many people's hearts.

B&S's songs and write down
how the sung lyrics differed
from the published ones.

TWELVE Are Frank Lloyd and
Amanda related? I
think we should be told.

It would be nice to
have a famous architect
in the family.

I either think things
over in my mind, or I
sing songs to myself.

TWENTY-FIVE Most of
you wouldn't care if I left
the list, I know that.

MYSTERIOUSLY
HAS A SECTION MISSING. I
think a sheep ate it.

I think a sheep ate
it. And I can't remember
what I said, either.

Punctuation. I
mean. When will he be back? From
the Czech Republic.

So the moral of
that story? English teachers
need more real-life sex.

Dear all Sinister
is a place which is dear to
many people's hearts.

It's good stuff, I got
a copy for like off of
some used book site. m.

LOOK. a bit boyish,
maybe, in my monkey-print
pajama bottoms.

Russian waitress to
play one of his aardvarck cd's
over the speakers.

I was listening
to my new and excellent
Mum remix cd*.

Weighs a ton, too. Still,
good cameras age well if
you treat them nicely.

The play of the light
on water as one pours it
into a vessel.

Yesterday though, i
got my Belle and Sebatian
ticket through the post.

Yorkshire hill. It would
be false, but a dramatic
pictue anyway.

I was missing. Loved
Brunswick Street, with all of its
faults and vanities.

St Pauls waiting for
our friends to come out of
the exhibition.

Adelaide gets no
respect, I tells ya. Harumph.
That's it, I'm moving.

I'm moving. Oh dear,
I meant this to be short, and
already it's not.

PS: I get to see
Belle and Sebastian in New
York on the 5th.

I turned to the French
section to look up a word
beginning with L.

When I looked in my
dictionary I looked for
J but it wasn't there.

There weren't any
Js Ks or Ls (I DO
know my alphabet).

Jeebus, the two of
them together could topple
empires. Ok.

Janet Weiss. Ah, but
it's also Sam Coombes. Makin
a lovely racket.

I don't perpetrate
too much of a hipster fraud
with my Rock tangent.

Benicassim, but
I have no information
about their past shows.

London show was like
an amalgam of the Leeds
and Nottingham gigs.

So I wouldn't hold
out much hope of them playing
it when you see them.

Benicassim, but
I have no information
about their past shows.

Anyway, gonna
head just now, and do some stuff
before its too late.
