Ongoing sporadic journal of the overeducated, and underemployed. The title derived from Coupland’s description of cubicle land; the corporate ghetto. Random photos and thoughts. Left the ghetto, never happier. This still a work in progress

Noticing

You

Noticing

Me

Autumnal equinox (days getting shorter)

A nation is enraptured watches missing white woman

Meets the primordial contract

Activated

Mermaids hitchhike from Coachella Valley

Spontaneous combustion

Love is a drug

 Nods-06.09.21


Nod: 1) lower and raise one's head slightly and briefly 2) an act of recognition 3) extremely high in betwixt worlds and your neck and connection to outside world goes limp and your head bobs up and down 4) approval

On me nod

AOC-INTEL stands for Air Operations Center-Intelligence

AOC-INTEL in the shape of sexy, sweet

she asks so many questions

Debriefed: question a spy about a completed mission

Debriefed

her lips are moving

want

to taste them, nibble them

not answer them

Pink spider 

Nods 

From behind the counter

She abandons the questions

locks eyes

Licks her lips

think

I got the nod

 The case against love

Letters-0.09.21

Love Letters: a letter expressing a lover's affection 2) A genuine written form of communication with someone you love when the atmosphere becomes intense 2) demand letter from government/lawyer

Yellowing paper 

emails 1’s & 0’s that never die

Both will easily

Outlive me

I have already died more than once (lead,

women and cheap narcotics)

Remembering everything she said

 wishing I was dead(again)

try and try

just can’t get inside of her

Froze: turned into ice or another solid because of extreme cold. 2) frightened and anxious, and be unable to move, speak 3) frigid person

She’s froze

Now all that remains 

Out of Context seems to mean something different from the meaning that was 

Intended

words out of context

 Stars-07.08.15-later

When I met 

You

You 

Belonged to no one

And 

everyone

The soul of a pink spider

 Morally Flexible and fluid

You 

kept saying you were tired of feeling crazy

when you broke 

I threw the pieces across the night sky

They sparkled and became 

Star: 1.)a fixed luminous point in the night sky which is a large, remote incandescent body 2) successful, and important person

thousands of stars

Ride far away from the city and look at the bright 

Stars you 

Are



knew you were a star

 After-Hours on Kelly Moynihan birthday

a few hours into 03.09.21

I am hi hoping Kelly likes the poem


Is an after-hours drink

The scent, of the night smeared lipstick, spit, and blood-holy bodily fluids

Jury duty in 3 hours (the most money a poet can hope for)

It is a holy day in France

Wish I could

gift

a jaguar

A brilliant feeling 


Like the one I get when I realize it’s Kelly’s birthday

And I remember to write this poem

Writing in the car park 03:13 03.09.21(crescent moon reflecting on a puddle


All I

Have

After hours:1) after normal working or opening hours, typically those of bars and nightclubs.2) A sensation, feeling or a state of mind that comes to a person late in the night triggered by a strong emotion

an afters-hours drink

a spliff

I’ll wish Kelly happy Birthday

 She comes alive -01.09.21


mesmerised

long hair

tanned toned legs

eyes afire

She comes alive in a petite mort

La. Petite mort: signifie l'orgasme 2) little death

There’s a history

Of her mystery

Lovers   coming and going

Some of them

Left no evidence

Some of them left her bruised

Feeling used

She comes alive in a petite mort

On her death bed

She comes alive in a petite mort

Heaven and hell betwixt her thighs

She comes alive in a petite mort

Her passions limitless

She comes alive in a petite mort

Those who couldn’t have her

Those couldn’t be her

She comes alive in a petite mort

Would kill her

Only fuel her

She comes alive in a petite mort
