London chic

Give `em enough rope

----------

 

How did Hip

become snot covered dirtcrust denim

Skinny red rash fingers

Stealing from an ashtray

When did cool

Rock back n forth with convulsions

Belching to the Clash, the Pistols

In your ghost scattered hostel room

Camden town style shoppers cross to avoid

This person gone wrong

Super lagered soulless eyes

Never knowingly shepherded

Freedom you cried

Cry now lost son

Cry  the giro spent

Cry  the normal memories

Reminding you young teen rebel

The price of never straight

The price of ner a fool

Was there a time

The spliff passed the doors sang the youth joked

You fell from the façade

Of indy culture ?

Song words don’t sing of you anymore

Teenage kicks to the brain

Barred and belittled by

The Time out crew

Finding culture in the Sunday supplement

Looking out the window of an artisan bakery

At you spilling doner kebab

Chilli smears over your grey face

Hungry for love in its absence your mouth consumes the needs

The cravings of immediate

The buzz that never was your friend

You went to the window

Your johnny rotten v sign

As far away from the now

As the class war resistance that fell off the page of purpose

Your screams are someone else’s echo

“At weekends we went dancing down stairs on the bus

Step lightly go easy stay free”

Once u had a sweetheart

Optimism unbound

A humour unique

A cheeky smile

Tomorrow you are dead in a skip

Happening  ------------- Let go  We'll float up to the stars  From roaring water bay unfettered While Jimmy sings a love song  Hold on  Earth and grass and sand  Caress in rest- fullness  Weight supported  While Jimmy sings, his heart recovered  Merge and part  Outflow of selfs returning better  Words and space, the space uncluttered And tingling strings and cords harmonic  A single point  Surprise , the new , awake this presence  Balanced using angels wings  And all the while , sweet Jimmy  sings

Sci fi future

  Tuesday May 23 rd  2240. My God but hasn’t the time barrier become befuddled. Doing a cook meditation minding my own business, visualizing creamy coconut curry, when, out of the blue Wednesday Hugh taps me on the shoulder.” Don’t eat that curry Hugh you will get a sore tummy” He was relaxed enough and very matter of fact, friendly even, but I found it awful annoying. “ Mind  your own business,  I’ll  take my chances  “ I  said, and continued with entering coconut code on the  chefmodule . Wednesday Hugh laughed disdainfully,  “You  haven’t a clue boy  “ he  said as he tried to delete my  inputs. Well agitated now ( these glitches had been happening more frequently since the futurists were elected again, in the midst of accusations of cross time zone vote rigging , but it couldn’t be proved as the future people were notorious liars) Agitated ,  I grabbed him and pushed him  back,  losing balance he lost his footing and knocked himself out on the hard floor. That`ll teach him.   Wednes

When will I understand

Now   Time Passes And lo it came to pass that it passed And is gone Remembered as a paradigm That we shifted  and  shift still Th e weatherman says  things are different now Choose a forecast and stick to it Take the batteries out of your clock Say  hello to your dog Occupy  the space between the tic and the  toc Meditate with eyes wide open Like your life depends upon it And don’t forget to write
