live
Lets
go travelling
Lets
get away
Lets
meet new people
Lets
walk on fire
Lets
smell fresh air
Lets
gift our lives
Lets
hear new sounds
Lets
touch that person, anew
Lets
close our past
Lets
open our past and feel
Lets
laugh right here
And
now
Lets
let our teeth rot and fall out
Lets
kiss the rain as we run
Lets
drink and take drugs
Lets
wander the world because we can
Lets
do what we feel today
Lets
hate, fight and kill
Lets
have luck guide us on...

droplets
To
hear the mans voice
Calling
for his boy inside
To
call
His
lost dog home,
Welcomed
and
Lightened
my mood it was
My
view of the leaves on the ground
And
the touch of the gentle breeze passing the sun
As
I walked on from there, gone
My
dog,
new
meaning
His
closeness and colours
Life
for me
As
he moved in his senses
Through
the wet stones and fallen sticks
I
slowed my pace and felt at home … briefly
Then...
hear the mans voice
Calling
for his boy inside
To
call
His
lost dog home,
Welcomed
and
Lightened
my mood it was
My
view of the leaves on the ground
And
the touch of the gentle breeze passing the sun
As
I walked on from there, gone
My
dog,
new
meaning
His
closeness and colours
Life
for me
As
he moved in his senses
Through
the wet stones and fallen sticks
I
slowed my pace and felt at home … briefly

thursday
driving
round the streets
cheap
tobacco
the
warm sunlight
heats
up the car fumes
loosens
the leather on
dusty
back seats
cigarette
smoke drifts about
out
across the engines
deep
in the lungs
other
drivers smoking
we're
smoking together
on
the dry road
with
the dry throats
and
the black lungs
on
the cheap tobacco
on
the expensive petrol
in
the cheap motors
on
the broken promises
looking
at each other
round the streets
cheap
tobacco
the
warm sunlight
heats
up the car fumes
loosens
the leather on
dusty
back seats
cigarette
smoke drifts about
out
across the engines
deep
in the lungs
other
drivers smoking
we're
smoking together
on
the dry road
with
the dry throats
and
the black lungs
on
the cheap tobacco
on
the expensive petrol
in
the cheap motors
on
the broken promises
looking
at each other

electronica
a divided man
split
and split again
all his shame hidden in the divide
the divide
that divides
him from you
no sense of love in the ownership-head
a love-less seed
leading to all kinds of horror
racism, and the rest
' send them all away!' he cries into his drink
' it is my land! My place! All mine! Allofit!'
the divided man is a scared man, alone
too frightened to embrace new people, places and things
a loveless
a life with fear
what have you done to deserve this i wonder? ...

virgin hammers
thud thud thud pfhip thud
floor hitting
sad
when I think about it
so I don't
oh aye.................not often......................aye
come over here
take a look-see
directly from my shoes
no walking any miles required,
just look
what a view
a rare view
I didn't think you could see anything from down there!
Aye well I could, see
everything you did I saw
everything...................................................and that,
all that walking away
no use to me
come,
try my shoes...

blood
you missed me wearing my suit!
I hardly ever wear my suit
'thank God!'
we don't ever want to go down there again
pages and pages
the flying monkeys, and the tiger rain stills falls on the tiger people
and that, skuttles and shaddows away the joys in life &
the person stands hidden beneith the other person....
or behind their demanding silver sheen
to take it all away I will drink my bottle
my bottle will take it all away
now do you want some shine child?
To cancel all the dreams, the silver...
