THE T SHIRT CHRONICLES VOL 3

the charity muggers
t shirt said

life is the fight for survival
we will all lose

i asked him about reincarnation

he said his family were undertakers
who contribute to the
local neonatal intensive care
& struggling hospice services

i asked him what he was collecting for today

'we fiddle in 4k' he said
'& we will burn in plastic melt
 wont you please give kindly
 for the bees'

SWING

 

  i
  gloz
  the
glass screen stories
 

  faux-rome falls
  in my periphery

  ( sigh etc )

then i lose myself again

  all AROUND
    & IN

A GIL SCOTT HERON MONDAY

its
noon
one
two two two o clock

time to rest heavy

shift / run stop

gil scott heron

did not become

anyone

he did not mean to be

beer & unlined paper

~

monday
is 

all

carefully

counted

territorial pissings

& i lose myself
& i hide myself  

  

in fantasy
in horror

thru mind-eye & ear resonation

gil scott heron

is the closest 

voice of reason 

he has

& always feels like running

CATCHING CATCH 22 & MARATHON ESCAPE

my 
empathy & understanding
is
huge & disabling

& dissipates
any righteous rage

its rain on my embers

& THAT

makes me angry again


~


we are 
stumbling 
in the 
back-end cluster
of a
crowded mindless
hotbed marathon 

look behind us
theres space there

dont compete says dont lose

&
you
can
piss
in
private then

& call it a win
call it paradise
