Plastic World

There's plastic in the ocean
Plastic in the sea

There's plastic in the boatyard
Plastic in the bay

There's plastic in the gut of a turtle
Plastic in a mantaray

There's plastic in a gilt-head bream
Plastic in it's prey

There's plastic in a Landfill
Plastic in a seagull

There's plastic in the foodchain
Plastic in our DNA

Cyber Cafe

In the corner of Cyber cafe
Bloodshot eyes stare into the abyss
Web connected
And disconnected from society
He never sleeps
Lost in the glare of the screen.

All night, blue light and shadows
He lives in the game
Lives off sugar and aspartame
Overdosed on chemicals
He escapes the horror of the world outside
Through the horror in the machine

Island Ferry

8:15
The island ferry rumbles at the port
A stream of tourists scramble from the rear
As the sun goes down behind the concrete
Taxi doors glow in colours that can't be
Bought, sold or caught.


8:53
The Oil truck rumbles at the port
A stream of sweat with the change of gear
5 attempts to scramble up the drawbridge
And an empty bottle of beer
Glowing like an emerald on the wall

Live For Now

Are you living for another life
Which may never come
And if it does
Will you spend the next life
Living for another one?

Vampire In Greece

A Vampire in Greece
Bitten by the mosquitoes
 - Now knows how it feels

Alien Taverna

Menu

- Prawn eyeballs - as black as a hole in space

- Alien squid - with face hugging tentacles 

- Martian Octopus head - eerily out of place

- Flying saucer seabass - sci-fi Metallic

- Prawn antennae - picking up signals from planet X

- Lobster claws - armoured like a Mech

- The Blob – Drowned in acid

- Shrimp - nuclear pink

- Rows of reptilian fish - Morbidly staring ahead

Lizard

A Greek flag torn
Flailing in the warm winds

From the Orthodox dome
Church bells toll

A roadside lizard pauses
By the bins

Mountain Fountain

Up the mountain
The forest hides a fountain
Escape the summer madness, 
In cool shade

Ice cold water
Glides through my fingers
Senses awake
A gushing melody Under Ottoman shapes

There's light on the surface
Even oppressors
Leave relics to impress us
This oasis of calmness sedates

Aliens

The old gods were aliens
Imparting knowledge from the sun

They built the ancient wonders
and once again they'll come

Tonight I'll climb the fence
at the temple of Poseidon

I'll be waiting
While the world is sleeping
- Tomorrow I'll be gone

Late Shop

The blue light of the late shop
A tired face in the aquarium glow
Hands reaching for cigarettes 
and cold drinks
Artificial consolation 
For those lost
in the night world
