Wired Indifference



Sometimes
You have to give a man a chance
To trust what he does not know
Yet

Top floor please
I don’t know why
But I really need to see from there
From on high
Pompous bastard they may call me
But understand
I need to understand
I know I do not know
And it disturbs me
You know

So there you have it yes
Feeling nothing
No laughter
No pain
No love
Snippets of stuff
Enter this ether
And manifest in that
This indifferent mind
Believes it should be
      And could be
     
To let it happen
To open this tin heart
This golden road
To have what you have
      Could it be
      Could I see
Too

Sadly the lift drops again
Grounded in reality
Wired indifference
Renders itself
A soul in the world
Loving the real
Wishing nay hoping
For a place
The connection
The connected

Magnitude


The absurdity of it all
Why is it I cannot I fall
From this orb
The tentacles of gravity
Pull and claw
The presence of reality
Lost in what
A relationship
A tragedy
Of what making
Responsibility
Pure crap!
Alone again naturally
Why don’t I get it
Why can’t they get it?

You,
You are unique dearest friend
And loved
I reach out for you
And ask
Where are you?
Can we pull each to each?
Comfort in company
Relive the foibles
And live the life
Of misunderstood creatures
What a state of what, ends

Bouquet


It was you
While I was lined
Interminable wait
This hot day
There you were
Suddenly
A splash of pastel
In a sea of steel on asphalt
Life in the lifeless
A moment in the breach
Still life 
Stop timed
Around the bend 
Gone yet again

Leit


So, seen any good shows lately
Yah, some
What
There’s this one
Where this man and this woman
They like love each other
But they can’t or they won’t
Cause they like life too much
Together
And then this spell comes
And like I woke up then

Oh Yah
And did you feel something
Just empty
I didn't like to wake up
And well,
Angel wings
You know the wings sound
And the air the wings make

But they scare you don’t they
Oh no
Well they used to
But not any more
I like feel comfortable from them
Cause they take me places
Where I want to go
On my bicycle
Round the earth though I don’t know how I can ride in Africa

Yet

And they give me movies
When I sleep
Good movies and bad too
I do like the old war movies
Honour and horror together

And forgiveness
After the battle is done.

No one ever wins
But we all carry on
And we make it all better
Cause that’s what we do

So
You been to any good funerals lately

The End






                  and nothing?

Medicated


Standing in the fray
Damn this all
The noise, the bustle
The expectations
A performing puppy
Wanting only to belong

The Englishman cocks his rifle
Takes dead aim
Between the eyes
Adversarial determination
Kindness overwhelming
Sees a future

Released to own devices
Awash in the self serving pity
Of best for use
Before knowledge of best before
Dates of the unknown
When does the off begin

Who sets the agenda
Or is it done together
None done in solitary
Confinement self determined
Brake free chained souls
To soar in these clouds

Eyes seeing all
Coupled and apart
Different views of the same
Object
And agree
Unique with devotion for all time
