The trap of
self-surveillance
Our phones
and I-pads hide
They watch our
every movement
And hear
what we most prize
They pander
with their programs
Seducing
with their apps
Recording
undermining
Our futures
— to remap
(Dreamsleep: March, 2026)
Abbie was born on October 28th in 1995,
And comes from East Grinstead, Sussex,
She went to two special schools very alive,
With therapy: Treloar School and Valence.
Abbie boarded at Valence, a good deal,
And with the help of Remap that makes,
Equipment for disabled people to seal,
She was able to pursue her club stakes.
At Valence she practised 2 or 3 times daily,
For five days a week, and CEO Adam Rowe,
Of Remap says “if [you] want to [grow, tally]
in sport…we make or adapt [things to hoe].”
In the F32 club throw at Doha, the Worlds,
Abbie came third with a throw of 19.24m PB,
And then in Grosseta in the F31/32/51 swords,
She came third so as a bronze medal to see.
She has improved every, each year, but at Rio,
She only just missed out on a medal ranking,
As she has done before because her portfolio,
Is combined sometimes with F31/52 scoring.
I am the heart of our love
built for the beauty of your dance
I feel you in every atom of my awareness,
a muscle of desire pumping to caress your luscious madness
without the current of your fresh fragrance I have no romance, only sadness,
my strength suffers without the tempo of temptation you provide
in the nature of your elegant warmth is where I reside
you speed and sparkle through me like red beams of paradise,
excited by the euphoria of your burning froth I feel wild and wise...
I pulse in the ecstacy of your sacred strength
my rhythm unleashed, I soar wild and free in you
untouched yet, the hurt of it bites hard
your solitude my temple, I beat gentle in it's silence
veiled wants, they chant on the dharma of our needs
teasing our restraint, as destinations remap to the universes we build
I glow in the dark of your waiting, I thrive in our potent future
feeding prayers and teaching destiny
waiting for you as I always have
beating for you as I always will -
A Collaboration From The Quills Of Justin & Bindu
