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 feel so familiar
I can’t see your face from here
I think I know you
Your humour
Your heart
Your voice
I can’t see your face from here
That bar where my friend danced?
Déjà vu when we speak
I can’t see your face from here
That dive with great martinis?
I can’t see your face from here
Have we awoken to each other?
I can’t see your face from here
An adventure?
You  see,I am not great with names
I can’t see your face from here

fuck-off and die scum
you  don’t need a walking study in demonology
Please go to the Irish bastard
The one you asked me to teach a lesson,  with a .45 auto
You’re not
My type
As smart  you claim
Zip talent
And more baggage than a cruise ship

The Irish bastard 
Needs a meal ticket
I don’t
More issues than time
more daddy issues
than porn star
without the skills
you’ll never speak again
now that is 
the
nicest thing
you’ve ever done for anyone

Epitome of …. You referred to 
Me
I get it our
Your friends have cameras for eyes
It doesn’t play well 
Out
In the ‘burbs 
Talk
In your world that is everything 
In my world
We are
 Urban legends 
Cautionary tales
It’s 
Cool
We wear shades   
Because 
we’ve been underground so long 

a tired looking man 
in black leather
and blackout shades
having a cheap cocktail for breakfast
tghere is no way this finishes well for you
I have ran all scenarios
and in none of them
do you
survive

another icy morning 
hot coffee dark music, and a blue dog
you leave without a kind word
I go to 
Icy regions 
Looking for a 
White horse
I call out 
She comes to me
Tap tap a little stab
Blood roses bloom in the snow

                                                     Valentines Day

This is not your flat. It’s too posh and clean, and dreadfully lit by the sun like a terrarium. She is still asleep She’s actually attractive considering her make-up and tonnes of blonde hair are from the dungeon like club, where you met her in. Her tan skin contrasts your snow-white tan, you look at her body, and she’s a stunner.  Bits of last night come back industrial music loud trying to talk staring in to pale blue eyes the spontaneous combustion. Bloody snogging up against the wall her legs snaking around you the clock says 9:33, as she obviously has a job. She will be stirring soon- scarper time. Clothes scattered around her little black dress and stiletto’s. A shower would be nice, or another go, but that would mean conversation, beyond, fuck you’re sexy! On your part, and her you’re so cool! Still looking at her cute landing strip you need a cigarette more than, ever or perhaps a little taste of something stronger
You gather jean’s, Black T-shirt, black leather jacket de riguer for your tribe. Slip on your boots you don’t make noise, no one in regiment does. Thank fully there is a pack of player sailor cut cigarette ‘s in your jacket. You slip on blackout shades. Much better go down the stairs. You see the half bath and give yourself a quick prostie bath.
 Out the front door, you see your bike. You pick-up the paper in the lawn, and see the Date its Valentines Day Sunday. The manor is exploding in a riot of leaf blowers, and unreasonably bright sun lit cigarette bonnie roaring to life back to concrete canyon’s. You wonder what party’s are going on for Valentines Day.

Playing as losing game
How many hoops can jump for you
Even in this drag, 
You see the alien 
I get the message
We don’t like your ilk
So tiring I can’t win
Only 
One reasonable thing to do
Change the game

In my mood darker than the misty morning
Those eyes of blue
Speak, more than words ever
Will
words are very
Unnecessary we communicate by touch and sight
You take me from
Here
Next to
You
Such a nice place to be

Nothing  goes so
Smashing with
a hot cup of coffee 
as 
how cold you are
Nothing makes my morning 
Like your
Insults
Nothing
Like 
Nothing here
nothing

I am easy
I am who I said I was
If 
I wasn’t
Would
I claim it
Not sure 
What you saw
Or 
What you thought 
you might find
be here
or 
not
I am easy

Run to the Irish bastard
It would be comical
If it 
Weren’t so, bloody
Needy, and toxic
You tell me how smart you are
And repeat the same pattern into infinity
It stung for a moment
I healed like the Vampyre 
I told you I was

I didn’t know
I was being 
careless, forgetful
but not 
cruel
well not this time

I didn’t know I could 
I didn’t know you cared
I thought we were cool
I didn’t know we 
Weren’t having fun
I guess
I didn’t know anything

The winter of our discontent 
Has returned  
Grey skies, blue moods
Cold Gin and tonic
Warm conversation


31 January 2015

Last night started watching Orange is the new Black. I thought after why do I like this show so much? It occurs to me , that Piper Chapman is every woman I have ever been involved with gutsy, smart attractive, felonious,(more than couple of you) has an ex girlfriend(of course.)I love you all, crazy , cool , sexy women make this veil of tears bearable
Sweet one, friend, lover, and comrade in arms.’ Just walk away from posers’, sycophants, and self-important, self-righteous old fucks. They are not worthy of your attentions.
You haver lived the life, and continue to live, dream, and be it. You recognise the sacred music. You both, create it and savour it. You and both have experienced the stigmata and screamed in ecstasy as it appeared on our arms and in our souls.
One day we will storm heavens gates armed with sacred switchblades, clothed in blessed black leather. Punks’ mobs, looking like a cross between the nomads of the “Mad Max,” and “Sid and Nancy.” Refusing to pay cover and demanding, drink tickets. Walking back stage, and chopping heavenly lines. Don’t be angry, but instead pity them, as they have not your grace, beauty, and talent.

I’ve more secrets than MI6
And I thought that had been declassified 
So sorry
Loose lips  sink
hearts

Cold war
Ice cold room, hot coffee
No ones winning here
There’s no heat just ice
And loathing 
Heat I get it’s what we used to be
Cold, detached loathing 
This is just 
An old war
When I leave
Not surrender 
Just acceptance

Am I 
Still your favourite mistake?
Are we still cool?
Actually we have always been
Volcanic
Spontaneous combustion
No quiet longing
Sweaty chemical reaction
I love that about us
I love that we 
Don’t have to talk
Am I still your favourite mistake?

I think of you
Your eyes
It’s a day’s work 
Looking into them
I see who you used to be
Who you’ve become 
People in-between
I see you changing as I watch
Speaking to me in the silence
When you look back 
What do you see?
Who I was?
Who I am?
Are you attracted?
Are you frightened?
Are you repulsed?
Can you see me?
Do you care?
Your eyes 
It’s a day’s work looking into them

It’s not that you love my demons
You don’t it’s that
Sometimes your voice can calm 
All 
Of them
