this is the end....

..of the week that proved to be helpful. Yesterday, I consumed my own body weight in weak ale, and was in bed by 12.27. I had climbed from my pit 10 hours earlier in the year, after reaching it 5 hours previous. Friday had been the breakthrough, and I celebrated effortlessly with *bath-salts* and volumes of larger, Guinness and a disco dance. the pressure of Thursday had overcome my consciousness; I had found myself staring at the kitchen utensils in TK Maxx, having not realised how I came to be there - I wondered if I had locked my door and traipsed home minus the accoutrements I had no real use for. of course the door was locked. Wednesday had been full gentle cowardliness, spirited by an air of misgiving for my predicament and a resentment to confront the issue. I was yet to panic. Tuesday the same. Monday was ruled by arrogant optimism that rooted my self belief to celestial objects out of my reach. I didn't fall directly downwards. but Sunday is today and I am still standing on my tiptoes, as I now realise I haven't actually grasped anything solid as yet.

Steps; Nowhere



I don't normally like these kind of images; ones you could imagine attached to malfunctioning laconic corporate trip like "desire; There is nothing like a dream to create the future". but this one's ok.

The Fall - Second Dark age

Fat conference women
Clap return of glass house
And the Arabs have it made
Oil is women in veils, eyes glazed

Second Dark Age. Death of the USA.
Return of the family.
The scooter cabbages

And the commune crapheads sit and whine
While the common near my
birthplace is now a police
college

It's a second dark age.
No Psalm Sunday or any day.
The city is dead.
Bust. Ghost-dance rite. Tepid

I could join a pray-peace group
Spy in Norway
Cause groups can change the world
and meet Ms. Fjord and Benny.*
"Hi I am Benny.
Go where the brave prance
No Czechoslovak food queues
are a party, fool

A mediocre anti-Jew
And single people are screwed
in the Second Dark Age

I am Roman Totale, 17,
the bastard offspring
of Charles I and the Great God Pan.

To swim together

There is a picture cast in sand on the carpet under my desk
It shows my feet outlined,
Their tombs from which they were removed sit dirty to the side

Last warn to a beach were we swam in the swell of the northern sea
Where clouds heavy with stone grey bottoms queued to the horizon, mirrored by the rolls in the belly of an un-tamable friend

Your shoulder length hair obscures your face, limp with salt of sea-air, manipulated by northerly winds that raise goose bumps and nipples on our bodies.

We swim out and loose each other in the turn of the waters top
Moments alone, only feet away

The sea holds us close but its dominance forces severance
We come together; limbs tangle.

First I think that we will pull each other down

Now alone, the grit between my toes connects like the embrace of our bodies
Knowing the sand will one-day run thin, I will not clean my shoes
