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

 You look like rain-24.07.22

losing war

not a hot war

just a Cold War 

Fagged and shagged I stumble into bodega stagger into   

Stumbled

Walking these streets 

Cigarette soggy in the rain 

Needing a fix or a dream

Nobody’s going to save 

Me soul

ainn’t got one

I stumble into a bodega point at the cigarettes slide crumpled bills the young clerk (I was that young yesterday, next year)

She speaks 

tu ressembles à la pluie 

head scarf, smoky eyes

accent say Algiers (land of Camus)
