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

 Halo-30.05.22

The devil

hears

When you dance like that

Losing control

growling

Take my body

Take me

Morning light

Take my heart

So

sexy

So

pretty

Best

Piece

of ass

In the city

Halo: Hair  glowing catching morning light

she walks out the door

Hallo: a disk or circle of light shown surrounding or above the head of a saint or holy person to represent their holiness.

Halo for a fallen angel

Hallo

 Drought-22.05.22

Cut-off’s

faded

Tight

Like

Secrets held dear

cafe au lait tan

4-inch heels on gravel

bedroom eyes

In the car park

She’s speaking in tongues

nicotine-stained lungs

Too stoned to notice

I am too lost to care

I really have nothing to lose

We find each other

Then we lose each other

Then lost in each other

My phone is chuffed with things that can wait (n angry accusations bitter)

Laying bed, I hear thunder

Waves of rain roof and window

Drought: a prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall, leading to a shortage of water

The drought has broken

 Fire-20.05.22

Barely on fire

Let me burn away the torments

Come back to life

knew love

Would crucify you

cry out to the mermaids (sacred prayers from the faithless)

as the soon goes down

We walk into the waves

Where the light tower hits the disco ball

Illuminating 

to set 

you on

Fire: used to describe something/someone pleasant, attractive, or nice 2) lifeforce or essence

FIRE

 Morning -19.05.22

She levitating

Intoxicating like skag

Let the  Ritual begin

 Maddie & infomercial’s-16.05.22

Last night a dragon tried to eat the moon 

I fire both guns at once (tilting at windmills a hobby)

Saving the moon

whilst I drink coffee 

Young women disappear into the loo

They create a history of last night

Impossible to deny (white lies, I member you)

she tells me her special name

Sharing a spliff & absurdity

Maddie smiling like a riot of Mannequins

laughing

gently shaking against my arm eyes squinting  

her mouth a life of its own 

why worry 

Why hate

Why be confused 

as seen on television

available (4 easy instalments of not giving a fuck, wait call now and get shut the fuck up for only shipping costs)

not available in any store


there’s coffee

there’s white widow

there’s laughing with a friend

 Dope-09.05.22

Don’t jump! Fly! Fly!

Just fly

Devour consciousness

Drink love

Blue bunny calls

Kill your self-loathing

Embrace your beauty

Desperately in need

In this forsaken land

Take my hand

I’ll lake you

Away

Beyond

Lighthouse (lighting water into strange car park shades)

Fire: used to describe something/someone pleasant, attractive or nice 2) lifeforce or essence

FIRE


Your

Need your

Dope: a drug taken illegally for recreational especially heroin 2) something brilliant


DOPE

 cowgirl haiku -04.05.22

Early morning

A real, unicorn singing

before the mermaid


 


Kiss of bliss-04.05.22

You were there on

My birthday

Kiss:  touch with the lips as a sign of love, sexual desire, reverence, or greeting.


I was born in your kiss

Lived betwixt your arms and legs

And

When I die

Returning 

To your kiss

Bliss: Bliss: a state of perfect happiness

Eternal bliss
