Listen to poem:
somewhere a thought is projected
dappling on all present
did it start inside my skull? I don't ask
but it bounces into a counter argument
tussles start
all completely invisible to the naked eye
are invisible things real? of course
get some music in to heighten the moment
no one relaxes
it's too solemn
less loop de loop
more weight and judgement
the weight engrained in my skull
other skulls were knocked together in the process
though not hard enough to make a difference
don't furrow out my grave
then ask me to enjoy the procession
I didn't need to know I was in line
there I am
knowing more, too much, than this moment
this very moment - don't take that away
but uncontained
we all contaminate each other
what is beautiful is judged, marred
all in all I'm incompatible with the riverside
impervious to the angelic
hassled by the rigmarole
seeing and feeling too far ahead
fear buries me alive
I lack the energy to crawl out again
there's no view from those blacked out windows
we're all inside
rattling away pointlessly
yet it's a beautiful day
everyone turned out
I'm sorry - I missed it for the World
