I know the ring tone
It’s 
My friend calling
From the
Shrine
Of 
One’s and Zero’s 
I have 
Seen the future
And it’s 
murder

I’ll love until the end of time
Love can you see me too?
Kiss before you go
I just wanted to know
A day of summer in winter
Tomorrow winter returns
I am better in the dark anyway
In my urban armour of black leather
Looking for a fix
You like the danger
mon coquina
fille 
Te’adore mon cœur noir

Home is
cluster phobic
Lets go to your Place
Home is
always screaming
go to your place
Home is
Sticking in my throat
Let's go your place
Home is
Standing on Me tits
Let's
Go to your place
Home is
Angrily accusing
Let's
Go to your place
Home is
Quietly loathing me
Let's go to your place
Love
Memory must learn 
What the heart always knew
One can never forget
Those
Who remain
Forever

I miss the ritual 
The snow monkeys
Resume’s that were sketches, chord’s
And scars
Now 
We both have too many 
Initial’s 
Behind our names
The known was bounded by Tompkins Park, St Mark’s commons
You took me to rotaway beach 
Pointed at the lights and said that’s where you’re 
From
Across the ocean 
I just kissed 
Sick days and all the rest
Just noise 
Your kiss always told me everything

28 February 2015

28.02.15
Glam the next day 
A little black dress, 
Stilettos,
And blackout shades’
That match 
Each other as 
We try
Not to burst a flame in the morning light
This place never closes
Holy Bloody Mary's
Sacred talk
Day-trippers stare 
Too much for
Day?
No
But 
You can’t hide beat

27 February 2015

27.02.15
Holy thinking 
Holy drinking
Holy Holy 
As we begin the Holy ritual
Once it begins
It cannot
Stop
Now it begins 
A
Kiss
A touch
No
Words
Laboured breathing
Moans 
Growls screams
The consecration 
Has begun
Holy Holy
Our will 
Be done

                                                                        Monster

“How long have we known each other? “ I ask.
“Long enough” she answer’s pulling me close pressing against me urgently hands running over me.  Pushing my face into her thick blonde hair, that smells like lavender.
“Did we find what we were looking for?” I ask. I know her well enough know how she seduces this is not it. She does the standard deep kiss, and placing my hand on her breast.
“A drink?” she asks.
“Sure love, why not, “ I answer. OK it’s evening but, and Blair dresses still a little black dress and stiletto’s. She wears it well. We go to a favoured dive. I am guessing her husband, who is not found of us would never be found dead there or, any of her friends.
Nous gagné, ça s'arrose !” I shout in the car park. Bad French is one of the constants of our friendship; so we won let’s drink make sense
Blair answers “"C'est un bon coup!” basically you’re a good fuck.
I love this place Bukowski, or James Joyce would be at home here.
Today martini’s mine gin and wet, and Blair’s’ vodka dry. We talk about everything.
Second round arrives whatever it is it isn’t good. I ask, “Love what do you need from me?” I am asking now, because since I haven’t eaten the gin will have greater effect.
“You’ve always been there for me. I noticed you’re not packing any more. You know heat, your.45 auto?”
I start laughing and say Outta all the Gin joint’s in the world she walks into mine.”
“That’s not funny.” Blair said.
“This very Sam Spade the blonde dame in distress, and oddly enough second time today. I have been asked. “ I said.
  “I need help Brad’s mean.” Blair said pouting biting her lip, that look had gotten someone sent to the ER before.
  “I am not a hero, you know that. I am more Tyler Durden, than knight in shining armour ” I said.
“Did you help her? Is she younger than me? Prettier? More covers?” Blair insisted
You’re prettier, and younger, no I have a very unique skill set, what surprised me is that She knew, How?”
“Women know these things we can smell it I don’t   a hero; I need a Monster.” Blair said staring intently.
“I am not killing anyone for anyone today, and. make no mistake we love. We fancy you; we love you we don’t do that anymore.  I am semi-retired monster. I am not sure what Brad did but do you really want him dead?” I said.
“His name is Erik not dead just really scared. I told him I could call upon the dark rider of the apocalypse that is you if he was mean. Blair said hitting with me baby blue puppy eyes. The effect was calculated, because suddenly I’m 19 and the blonde in the front by the speakers that tall cool drink of water Ford Model is there, and I want her so bad.
“I am not that good, I am just your average Vampyre.” I said
You never said more covers?” Blair said twisting a strand of hair with her fingers.
“”You’re still the champion love, and still dead sexy, and a weapon’s grade body, and I am also sure you’re a little relived I said no. I am chuffed that you still think of me.”
“If someone hurts me?” Blair asked.
“Is that even a bloody question?!” I answer. Flashing on EMT’s taking someone from the club where I was a chucker.
The cop asks you “What happened here?
He tripped I imagine it’s rough by the stage; there’s witnesses, Suzy! Sheena! “I said.
Sheena and Suzie who drive into the city every Friday and Saturday night.
Matching outfits of mini and strategically ripped fishnets and purple hair. In unison they describe a mosh pit gone bad.
“They take Ronan past me he writhes and closes his eyes. Blair runs up throws herself around me. She in her glam girl look. looks at the cop  with her best southern sorority girl accent “My boyfriend called for help carried that boy out here to get some air.”
/the cops leave. I walk over so the booker, and manager can tell me what fuck-up I am. This is sure Blair can now walk through the club wearing a smile and heels and no one will say a word they will politely avert their eyes.
The women at the club hate her, “she’s so obvious, a blonde blue eyed model how is that punk? Why is she even here she’s not one of us!”
In the now she hands you a cigarette in the cat park, as you light it, and inhale you realize there’s coke on the filter so nice.
“”So love what now? “I ask
“What always hap pen’s now” Blair says motioning me to get in her jaguar. I climb in. Blair passes me the derringer loaded with a nice hit of Peruvian flake.
“Is she thinner than, me?” Blair demands
“No love you’re beyond compare. “I answer
“What about Amber, and her big plastic tit’s” Blair insists.
You were on honeymoon! How did you even know?” I answer. She always knew some weird precognition linked to my sex life.
“I am thirsty lets get some gin and a bed” Blair said.
“Why I love you woman,” I said. She pulls into the liquor store we walk in I look at champagne, she walks briskly ahead filling the basket, gin, tonic, limes by the check-out.
In the cat “Give us your panties I say in the car. A Blair smiles give a sexy smile and gives me black lacy I slip them in pocket.
We get to Hotel car park.  Blair hands the valet key puts the bar. Smiles supplies into a Gucci duffle.
We get quickly through the lobby to the front desk Blair check’s us in Mr. & Mrs., it might have been. Walking to the lift’s I casually fondle her. In the lift I slide my hand between her thighs. You know they have camera’s I say lifting her dress then pressing her against the back of the lift I brush her breasts her nipples are hard. The door opens
In front she fumbles the key card as I press against her. The door opens she throws the duffle.in. I pull her by her long blonde hair pin Blair to the wall. Strip her dress off her lacy bra she is standing in heels breathing hard.
“Lets get the ice I say taking her hand, she bends to retrieve her dress I pull her up.




 “Like this?” Blair asks blush coming to her cheeks. She walks to the desk grabs the ice bucket and takes my hand.
“Let’s go” Blair says confidently. We walk down the hall hand in hand. At the “ bikram yoga kick’s you’re body is amazing.” I say.   Wordlessly Blair drops to her knees put the ice bucket down while staring me in the eye pops an ice cube in her mouth runs another across her nipples. Blair takes me in her mouth. Staring me in the eye.  This not sex it is a sacrament, and I am being worshipped. I tap her and say “ room
Bitch” she tucks me into my jeans and picks up the ice bucket, and walks towards the room. I follow admiring her walk noticing she still does Dior turns.
Inside the room I grab her, kiss her roughly and throw her on the bed throw her on the bed. I strip, and fashion my t-shirt into  blindfold . Cover her eyes I take her scarf and tie her hands above her head to the headboard. I stroke her kiss, and nibble. She moans and writhes on the bed.
I spread her legs tasting licking, and nibbling her wet lips caressing the little man in the boat. She shivers and moans turn to screams. I get off the bed, and say “Not yet, Blair. “
“Please, I’ll be good” Blair implores. I get a drink a drink gin rocks amazingly well. I walk back to the bed. Stroking Blair’s hair. I say “I will release you now, you may arrive” untying her. She mounts me. Riding me screaming. then pulls herself off on all fours screaming take me!
 I take her from behind pulling her hair, ass her hips follow me perfectly. Blair arrives in guttural stream of profanity, as I arrive she presses her hip’s against me, then does almost a head stand
“I am ovulating, and I love when we make love.” Blair said in her semi headstand. I am sure what to say so; I make her a Tanqueray and tonic I hand it to her trying to process.
“”I told you I need a monster, and you’re my hero for being that quit worrying I know who you   are, and I love who we are. I don’t want to change a thing.“ Blair said, now lying in bed.
“Cool I said walking to the shower drink in hand. Blair followed
In the hair pulled up held in place by a pen, with hotel logo. Blair said, “If I wanted sweet, and caring. I would have been with a woman.”  We wash each other.  Then dry each other off she retrieve’s workout clothes and make-up from duffle. We dress no need to talk nor, is it uncomfortable.  Music from an electronica station in the background.
Blair break’s the silence I’ll take you    to your car, that was fan fucking tastic!”
“Blair your still the fuck of the millennium” I said.    We sing-a-long to Nirvana she drops leave me at the car park, with an amazing kiss, and we disappear into the real world just like that.

No name just a number 
They keep s haunting
Me
They haunting
Me
They keep haunting 
Me
To die without a name
They keep haunting
Me
Faces I can’t forget 
Keep me up all night
They keep haunting 
Me

24.02.15
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

07 February 2015

07.02.15
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

06 February 2015

06.02.15
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

05 February 2015

04.02.15
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

04 February 2015

.04.02.15
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


03 February 2015

03.02.15
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.

30.01.15
I’ve more secrets than MI6
And I thought that had been declassified 
So sorry
Loose lips  sink
hearts

29 January 2015

29.01.15
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


28 January 2015

28.01.15
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?

27 January 2015

27.01.15
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

26 January 2015

26.01.15
It’s not that you love my demons
You don’t it’s that
Sometimes your voice can calm 
All 
Of them

25 January 2015

Good Friday 18.04.14
Charleston Heston frees' my ancestors
The Angel death passes me over.
Does she not know how much I love her?
Her beauty flawless, skin perfect, and though she's embraced me many times, I always wake up and she's gone.

13.06 on our anniversary
I remember this day so well
Because I thought this time
You would stay
You held me for days 
kissed me deeply 
Gave me the lead jewel's I still carry
Alas I awoke to cacophony of tubes machines and crying people.
But you were gone!
Death 
the only face I wanted to see
And you abandoned me
I
24.01.15 on 25.01.15
This is when I come awake
Dark from dark
True Night from true night   
I never hid this
I wouldn’t  even if I could 
Don’t worry
The really
Cool thing
Is 
I fade to black 
Quick
I don’t look back 
In anger
I am who you think I am
Adieu Papillion






24.01.15
I hoped
Even though 
I’m  a picture
Of excess
I celebrate my darkness
Yes
I know the choicest parts of hell
I guess you’re frightened
I am not judging
I get it
I just 
As 
Faded and jaded as I am, hoped 
You wouldn’t
And  
Hoped you knew this Vampyre 
Doesn’t harm those he 
Loves

24.01.15 on the morning of 25.01.15 over coffee
I hoped,
Picture excess,
And whispered rumours
I celebrate my darkness,
I hoped you didn’t care
Yes
I know the choicest parts of hell
I hoped you weren’t frightened
I hoped you knew
That, I don’t judge and 
I hoped you didn’t either
I get it
I just 
As 
Faded and jaded as 
I am, hoped 
You wouldn’t be
And  
Hoped you knew this Vampyre 
Doesn’t harm those he 
Loves
I hoped 
That you would see this 
And 
Understand
I hoped you were
really 
My 
Friend

23 January 2015

23.01.15
Check mutual attraction
Check the pieces of our pain march
Check our politricks match 
Check  music, and art
Check we’re both cool
Check we’re both twisted
Cool can we just skip the rest
And 
Fall in bed

21 January 2015

21.01.15
I know you know
But this just isn’t
A good
Idea
It’s
Not even romantic
Probably
Because
Jaded and faded describes us
Volcanic, and possibly 
Satanic
Does too
Yes, I am a little
Vampyric
A cautionary tale
Of excesses
You
The stunner
Carnivorous
That woman
Both of us unrepentant 
this is a 
Bad idea


20 January 2015

20.01.15 later
Heart breaker
Life taker 
You’ve  been warned about me
Some of tat shiat  they talk on E 10th Ave. &
Kings Cross,
It was true.
Do you
Still want
To 
Play?

20.01.16
Who do you think,
I am, 
Because I am not
Sure
Meself
A Miracle
Or
A curse
I’ve
Been 
accused 
of both
Maybe you  could, 
Just  tell
Me
I’ll
Be 
Gone
By morning
anyway

18 January 2015

18.01.15
I love 
The way
You greet me
Like
I am some beautiful, talented creature
The way 
You call me an angel headed hipster
With no hint of irony, or sarcasm
The way 
You take me hand
The way
You’re as bright and open
As
I am dark
And obscure 
The way 
You walk with me
As if 
It was a rare honour 
The way 
You’re a little melancholy
As I walk a way

15 January 2015

16.01.5 later
I need a drink 
But something stronger would be nice
Moody reading Joyce
Listening to 
Billy Holiday, and Nine Inch nails
If I go out 
My fist might collide
With something or someone
16.01.15
I don’t own you
You Bloody don’t own me
You need him
You want me?
Now practise this 
Wave as I walk by
We’re neighbours in the same 
Manor 
Wave hello
And walk by
Don’t look back
It’s much easier 
Than you think
Love

14 January 2015

15.01.15
Sick days
Meant something different
But
Nyquil still works
I laugh and think of
Tube  station Oxford ,
Walk to Soho

09 January 2015

09.01.15
Cold, and grey
and I
walk with you again
Through steel and glass canyons
a sick day
Holding each other
In urban armour
Black leather, and sunglasses
Past scathing gazes of
Bare chested amazons 30 stories up
Past nervous tourist
Home to
us


07 January 2015

Secret Agent Man-07.03.15
I kept your secrets, and then I keep them now
I loved you, and then I love you now
No, he doesn’t need to know
Not about where you danced, that you danced
Your girlfriend, our girlfriend
I see you
I taste your kiss
Her kiss 
Vodka and gauloises
I hear loud angry music
And I nod and keep walking
A stranger pretending
Your secrets
Safe

05 January 2015

05.01.15
never so alone as I’m
with you
Ice
Berlin in winter was warmer
Looks, and word you give me
I have been in friendlier battles
Never so
Isolated
Never so
Sad 
Never so 
In need of drink
Never so in need 
Of a fix 
Never so gone
As I’m with you

Yes, I saw yesterday by the bar you introduced to your girlfriend, with your husband. I gave you a wink as you passed you gave me that sly smile of yours’. I kept all your secrets then, and I keep them now. Stories about sick days, and pub crawls getting tossed at the protest, and whose girlfriend she was supposed to be are a bit much for the burb’s. Still I see you and I can taste gauloises, tequila, and your kiss, her kiss. I hope all is well and I am sure he comes straight home, and he’s “good” for you.  I wish all the best,
And our time together was anything but; boring you’ll always have a place in my little dark heart.

So a decade after entering the belly of the beast. and sick of being a wage slave at the mercy of soulless eunuch's and corporate drones I am out!

11 December 2010

I reel in revulsion Lieberman (you remember Bush’s bitch.), and Feinstein invoked the 1917 Espionage Act against Julian Assanage and The New York Times. This is an assault on the people. It is a pure and simplean attack on civil liberties, an act of revenge for embarrassing the powers that be.

Assange with Wikki leaks are only doing what main stream “journalist” are supposed to be doing. To Lieberman and Feinstein I offer Jefferson "The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them." --Thomas Jefferson to Edward Carrington, 1787. ME 6:57

This is not the first time this has happened does the senate not remember the pentagon papers? The Times’ won that, round, and I expect that the case will be cited and affirmed if taken to trial. NEW YORK TIMES CO. v. UNITED STATES, 403 U.S. 713 (1971)

York Times reports on 14.10.09 Saudi Arabia is demanding reoperations at Global climate conference. They are demanding transfers of technologies. Education assistance and insurance of income. Now my question is, since for several decades O.P.E.C. has been the recipient of the largest transfer of wealth in history it’s late to realise fossil fuels are a finite resource, and perhaps new technologies will develop. I hope now that the end of an era is in sight these countries will develop themselves

Rome 2 Millenniums’ later

I think we put off Rome, because after all it's history is a foundation of western civilisation. I had seen it in Fellini films and history books so often I didn't feel the need to actually see it. I could have not been more mistaken. The difference between seeing smelling and hearing it. Is the difference between kissing your lover and getting a text from her. Rome is an adventure being assailed by beauty and history at every turn.

Ghosts of the failed empire

It’s amazing to watch Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coulter ranting in the parapets of a failed empire. They feel to realise an era has closed, and the pastor in chief W redeemed the legacy’s of Ulysses Grant’s and Richard Nixon, He holds the special title for incompetence and corruption.
Still it takes really big brass balls to hope that, there is a depression and an attack on U. S. Soil just to justify the crimes and abuses for the last eight years

bipartisanship- wake-up and smell the rancid treachery

bi-partisan ship is a trap President Obama,  these soulless  worshippers' of death and free markets seek to undermine you turn if it  cost's the economy going into a deep depression. They' re ideologues in truest sense. They have seen the light and heard the voices. Drop them like a bad habit ,they will never work with you, They do not care what the cost may be  the economic  viablity of the country itself.

It's rather like in Animal Farm in the beginning when consensus was the pigs are smart,maybe they should be in charge.

Happy 09 rant

Happy New Year! We are rally hoping or a better one. It's been interesting  the primacy's were great theatre. I loved the  spectacle. I loved the fact that after electing Caeser Octaius(W)) not once but twice, that Caeser Tiberus( Mc Cain)  not elected to preside over the fall of the U.S.  even after adding Palin the "hockey Mom"millionairess populist I cheered for Obma and stayed up most of the night waiting or anoucement there's"a problem in Florida or Ohio."this never came and the world celebrated the return of free electionstothe U.S. 
I lived through a city with no power for 3 weeks  the aftermath of hurricane Ike.  I still wait for my  house to be made liveable. I will hope for a better tomorrow for all with all of my cynical heart.

Iraq still rages our pastor and chief and, the corporate thug co-fuhrer, declare success?!? Cheney being told a majority of Americans disagree , answers"so""
How about a little democracy  in the U.S.A. ? 20,000 wounded 4,000 dead American soldiers and Iraq civilians in the hundred of thousands  apparently not human so not counted by occupying forces.
      Mean while Obama gives a speech on the elephants in the room , race and religion. Very literate,such a contrast to the Bubba in chief.I find it insightful, and articulate.
     I work for a major finical institute, and I am Caucasian, and male. It seems after much travel,t seems there is nothing else in this country except "us  v.them" and you are  guilty by association.I am the "man" not so much because I am management but by the colour of my skin.
  Obama is correct a more perfect union is needed

Tapping your high heeled toe

And we are possessed
When awake you are gone
It is only a stolen moment- a crack in time
I return the lights too bright
You stay
Beautiful and faraway

The poetry of conflict
Unmarked helicopters hovering overhead
Shouting into the receiver
Over Lord this is Arch Angel
We are yours OverLord

The mad Capitan screaming the Lord is coming soon!
Over the black helicopters speakers
Look up down forward and back again
These balaclavas were issued by the queen
Think about it and you’ll realise
You saw nothing at all

Such an early song. Written when we thought Tompkins Park St. Marks and a handful of clubs and dives comprised the known world as, the places I had known before became unreal, to point of comedy. I was there a week before deciding everything they taught me was white lies and half-truths.
Wishful thinking-such an early song
Nighttime

screaming

dry
I am
lean
fast
And breezy
By the time I am
25
I’ll die
Wishful thinking?

Nothing Gold can Stay
438
by Robert Frost
1874-1963, written in 1923
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.

Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,

So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

In India walking barefoot and a digital camera. This is a place of lovely extremes a culture which predates my western frame reference. A land that defeated Alexander the great. Women in saris and Jimmy Choo pumps. mokeys, cobras and sky scrapers I walk with scared cows and drink tea. Silk, Gold and state of the art technology suddenly I am working for the Raj. I am inlove with the stark beauty,the beauty and horror. I actually discuss spirtuality with a hidu priest who very interested in whether Labour can defeat the Tories,after Bair jumping in bed with Bush In am constantly amazed and wander every where looking at everything asking edless questions. I am constantly running into the past and future at once. I am amazed how this changing me,aded euro-trash, ecause lets face it a club,in Berlin isn't very different from one in London , L.A. or in this case Bangalore. Its the motorshaw rides te driver who proudly waits for me without complaint .

Now

Bordeaux it’s a balmy night it’s cool enough to wear my blazer Warm enough that I can wear an “ironic’ Tee; ironically I know the band on the tee, The über hip woman who I meet at a downtown café thought this was amusing enough to spend the day with me.
We’re a motley Crewe cliques scattered through out the city centre. I am wandering with Pierre(our cherished Professor) and Wes( a 6’ 4” bloke who has become our mate bonding over pub crawls in Strasbourg & Belgium ), as pass we accumulate more and more people from the class. I am in a crowd yet very much alone enjoying a Gitane; why did I quit smoking? Regina, a gregarious woman with a disarming smile, scream’s,” Lets go dancing!” as we pass nightclubs . “We’re I say following . Inside the music pulses. I go to the bar, leaving Regina at a table enlisting Lance to carry drink’s. I am thankful gin is the same word.
When we return, she has been joined by 2 young French women. They introduce themselves, as Tess, and Eve. I am immediately attracted to Tess, she is blonde , tan with tonnes of thick hair, and pale blue eyes he shade of cloudless skies in some tropical country. She’s pulling this gorgeous mounds of hair up. I run my hand through it, and say, si vous pliez, leave it, your hair and you are beautiful ”
“non, too much”, but no longer trying to put it up. She smiles at me and starts dancing.
The rest of the world has just ceased to exist . and there is no hope for me I am lost in the moment, and happily so. I find myself dancing with her . I put my arm around her and pull her close I want to ask her something. She just starts kissing me.. I am no longer aware of anything else. I realise she is putting my hand on her breast. I am not really sure how long this goes on, as I have given myself over completely to the moment. Regina taps me on the she announces, “ we’re leaving au revoiur.” I kiss Tess goodbye for a few minutes , and her friend Eve who presents me each cheek. I am walking out the door and realise I bloody don’t want to go. I bid Regina and Lance goodbye. I go back to my newly discovered land . I see Regina glare, but I really don’t care.
I go back in she’s swirling gracefully on the dance floor, so free., so uninhibited . It’s as if she totally unencumbered by any preconceptions, no past no future just NOW . I love this women, this manifesto, and loathe everything comes before or after. This is in fact a dialect, a theology, a complete belief system and it is all summed up and encapsulated by the figure of Tess under the lights of dance floor and the way she kisses. It is without reserve, hesitation, and completely unfettered by anything or anyone . Our conversation is limited to next to nothing, my French is nearly nonexistent . Her English I fancy a perfect accent enough so its sultry, not so much, that she sounds like Elmer Fudd.. In the moment she is perfect, beautiful and sexy.
Her friend Eve comes and kisses me on both cheeks and a peck on the lips, and leaves French bloke in tow. I look at Tess and she takes my hand and leads me back to the dance floor . We bounce back and forth the table for drinks and the dance floor. She seems not to notice, that I am a truly awful dancer. She occasionally says something and kisses me for a couple of minutes., then either returns to dancing or disappears, only to return say a few words and kiss me. This continues until the lights come on . She takes me by the hands outside gives me a long kiss and says a few words I understand to mean she’s coming with me., when she takes my arm and laces hers through it, and lays her head on my shoulder I start back to my hotel, conversation is very unnecessary, as well as impractical.. She takes my arm, in gentle gesture, smiles and leans her head on me. NOW is bliss, NOW is quiet contentment, NOW is the only place we want to be. We walk saying nothing in the cool spring night.
I am so grateful, that I don’t have a roommate., and we went to the Tabac, and picked-up a couple of litres of Evian which should be a little under room temperature and a bottle of Medoc . I am thinking nothing else is needed. I am so happy to be here NOW
We enter the hotel she holds me a bit tighter, nervous reflex? I stroke her hand on the lift . She follows me off and down to my room. In front of the door I motion open and follow her in. Tess looks around and sits on the bed in gesture which is so natural it is , as I always known her. NOW is brilliant as she looks shy, wanton and serene simultaneously. I kiss her and keep kissing her as clothes fall away and our bodies start coming together. she wants to turn off the light I want to look at her body so tan , lithe. I want to write sings about IT. NOW is brilliant nothing feels backward or studied, It is just the moment it is just brilliant, NOW I am shedding my own clothes and kissing her exploring this beautiful creature. She is perfect. I am entranced and seized by passion . A million new sensations my mind exploding with possibilities. I am not sure what she is saying, but have no doubt that, I am receiving the message. She strokes me as she helps me undress. NOW is all encompassing, nothing exists but the moment and each other nothing has ever come, before nor after. I amazed no tattoos piercing of genitals she is quite tan everywhere except where a small bikini has shielded a small pale triangle with some blond damp hair . She is not even wearing make-up, yet still even in this unmerciful hotel lights which always seems so ambient on brochures , but when there are poorly thought out combinations of florescent lighting with its yellow death pallor , and search light type trac lighting. her nipples stand erect and she moan softly as I kiss her, caress her, lick her soft salty skin.She moans and says encouraging incomphrensible vaguely pornographic things in French she growls , laughs and moans loudly. I caress her slowly as kiss the inside of her thighs . she tightens her legs around my head and takes me in her mouth. I push her back gently. “Non es por tu.
She relaxs and lays back ” looking at me through half closed eyes as I disappear into her sex . I her breathing go short and shallow her slim hips pulse. She starts screaming and her legs are tight around my head her arms around my legs. Until she releases me only straddle my chest then head . She shudders screams aagain, and then again, Tess covered in presiperation lays on top of me a breathing slowly and finally kissing me. She rolls me on top of her wrapping her legs around me and pulling me into her frantically. Screaming “Je adore’! and some other things, that I can’t understand. But need no translation.
NOW is explosive now is pure pleasure. NOW is pure , and existence onto itself.. .
