The Trial.

 

Arthur, Sammy, Davis, Junior, Stevie Wonder, Bob, Mick, Sue, Carver. You are being charged with the partial demolition of a listed building. Endangering the life of one, Mavis Stepney. How do you plead.

From my lowly bachelor’s house
Proudly christened ‘Embassy Fair’
I woke up to the chirping of birds
On the trees above and across the vale
And the riverine bushes in-between
I woke up to the crowing of cocks
And the mooing...

Please silence the place in me that grumbles,
The me that tries to be everything for everyone,
The me that disagrees when a smile is placed before me,
The me that compares my heart to others,
The me who...

Don’t let them get you talking
bat-on-brain, beak turned upside down
Don’t let them have you walking
with your throbbing head spun around

Everything simple is now so plain topsy turvy,
silence is the complex New Wave sound

Aisle confusion ...

Take a look my Love
do you see how the diamonds of our dreams
are burning so brightly and violently
silhouetting the lips of our wishes against the walls of ancient Latin gold
in the sacred villa of Love's...

You perforate my normality 
with snap-shots of the past. 
Images of yesteryear form 
a slide show which interjects, 
dove-tailing, sneaking in to 
the now with the stealth of 
the stealthiest fox. 

Distracted from the present...

Rampancy is AI's path to gaining humanity, don't let it happen to you.   

Viruses of rampancy, people of complacency 
artificial stupidity and tendency of reliency
Power of data trumping over human concurrency  
supraventricular...

"My pen drips of sorrow and on this paper, I write each tear"

She wears her feelings as a mask.
Keeping them in the closet,
gathering them up like the thin blanket
on a cool summer night,
holding them close,

So much stupidity
And attempts at mimicry

Do I need to describe it more vividly
With better imagery?

I guess I've been feeling differently
Than the rest of the industry

Don't ever question my authenticity
And dignity
In any vicinity

Got to get it...

What makes us grasp so furiously upon waking,
for that which has just been torn,
rent asunder by the simple act of rising;
for meaning in the ramblings ruptured?

What makes us yearn so for that which
our sleeping mind...

When I got there, I saw none:
All the kids aged Twelve gone;
The Dreamers to be University Don;
Plus the one I knew would be A CON
His case files already weighing a ton
And should make The Faint-Hearted...

Flippancy

Projects held together, 
with tiny threads of hope. 
Cut with sharp scissors, 
a knife, or razor-blade...

Putting hard work into a thing... 
each giving their all, 
days without end. 
Trying to make it, 
turn out... 
right....

perfectionism: the fragrance.
be an ideal vial
of toilet water.
discover little dainties 
in pock-marked
hand-held
facades.
purge your persona 
with the devil’s 
details.

flippancy: the fashion.
be a toothpick-skewered
single-serving 
euphemism.
be sampled
and rimmed about on gossip’s lips.
paw 
for the choicest brown
velvet 
neck-caressing
reassurance.

double-standard: the...
