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

joy and love-30.11.17
do I have to
 talk
you
into
this
SE1 London young man waits for red curry
this isn’t a seduction
I am not hitting on you
the man reads tweets
I am talking
you’re beautiful
London the young man forwards tweets insults of Islam
I already know how
WE
would  feel
the young man asks his
cousin  to show them
to
the Oman
I am just talking
sharing wine
Pakistan his cousin sees
his brother
wearing a Lionel Messi jersey
stops to play
I am talking about
a wee bit of
 joy
he scores  screams
GOOOALL!
a wee bit of
love
remembering his errand a then sees
hazel eyes staring
he forgets his errand
not trying
to
change your mind
forgets the errand
once again
joy and love
overcomes
death and despair

name 23.11.17
I call
her NAME
who is she
her being
her consciousness
a grey dove
a jaguar  backfires
summoning  troops
smiling babies
NOT
the name
she gives out
at parties   thrown by mutant poodles
at clubs
on streets
a dove carrying an olive  branch
shot by a man in a MAGA cap
her NAME
screaming abra cadabra
she goes down on me
changing who she is
who  I am
a black swan takes flight
she wants
my name
but I have
NONE
I am a work in
progress
I have no
NAME
I am just passing through

self-destruct-24.11.17
she believes
she will
ruin me
addict me
clowns riot
NO NO love
guardian Angel  pulls an Uzi
I have been destroying
meself  for too long
l0 cc spike
clandestine wisdom
undiscovered   pleasures
Mona  Lisa  smiles
I will destroy meself
ask your doctor about devastation
’73 Peugeot belch’s diesel fumes
skag
cherry cyanide 
coke
pink spiders
self-destruct

redemption and candy-21.11.17
she places my hand on her
breast
filled with
 gummy bears
starved
I
lead her
to the cave
where I sleep
where dreams poems paintings
 expanding grew larger than the walls
exploding into
paper
worlds
past
soccer mommies mediating
deeper
darker
underground
where
angels descended
in a circle singing
carrying the
holy grail
with infinite  grace
past traffic jams
past
Brigitte bardot dancing
a  sleepy pope
Arab princes watch jealously
I take the chalice a
resplendent in it’s beauty
I drink deeply
let it wash over me
redemption and candy

Chaotic-17.11.17
Deep scarlet red blood roses
snow globe-needle-a separate cosmos
worlds changing
alchemy
black majik-new actualities
a Buddhist monk
self immolates
they love you
when you’re dead
unless
you come back
heaven surging
lunatic  cyborgs spread rumours
I
life
death
reconciled
no signal on  the  mobile-free Lord free at last
life
death
Majik
Trinity

she-15.11.17
benediction and sanctuary
addiction  and starvation
follows me
riding
a
white horse
underground
into the darkness
she
 talks
love
light
a clean well lit place
awaits
going into my nod
aware
she
will
be
last
I see

strange music1-2.11.17
pink spider dancing
strange music
pulls me
in
Switchblade smile
platinum hair
blood  red lips, nails
cobra panties
kisses  burn
we
come together
she washes
over me
like good heroin
venom such
a
high
revealing the mysteries
morning
 strange music echoing
