Bit Part Player

If echoes were truly a dream, I would've vanquished the demons that live inside. Instead I'm left with dreams of a corruption of identities. Profit and loss, an inevitable part of daily life. I slowly come to terms with the rejection. My biggest dream became a nightmare of my own making. Taking pictures on smartphones, it was a religion, I knew only to myself. Part of my disconnection grew ever more. I still get my pills from there. Slyly though, there's a girl who passes on her discount to me. We seem to chat - a default of nationality. And in a default of my sexuality, I wonder how it would be if it were seen as an affair. It probably wouldn't, but the thought intrigues me.

He's very nervous around me.....it's kinda funny, I suppose. The trapped anxiety of a waking nightmare, the sound of euros in tills being missed due to my own inadequacy to his expectations. Steamrollers my joy into a deathless agony. But I move on. Slowly. Through the trail of a snail, I mirror her in a different way.

A negative demeanour. A difference in approach. When my life crashes into a single, monotonous depression that I'm anxious to hide. I want to hide in everyone but my feelings overpower me. I get no consistency being a bit part player in a wide ranging role. It would've been nice to know the nicer elements of it. If there were any but I could be dreaming. I usually am. What playlist has he made today? Which one should I play? And my own end up sounding like a cosmic space funeral.....a rather apt term that described my life at that point. Context of dimensions, how far does it go?

In ways, I suppose I'm looking for outside emotional support. If I stay inside, it'll kill me. The motion of chance and change, my language has become deadened even at its rotten core. I have her feelings to think of. Even as she improves, I disintegrate. An emotionless, barren run of a dream not worth fighting against. How fortunate am I to want anything at all?

They are all hugs. Part of me doesn't understand this nature, this touchy feely aspect to it all. For me, it was all repression throughout my life. Male ego. To slag and banter. Even if I didn't like it all that much. What difference does it make? Well it's shellshock and go. Loosely described banal pleasantries and feelings, it was a little private victory at the start. But the inadequacies are felt right from the start. And they gnaw into me like piranhas or the secret teenage abusive love affair with the razorblade. Sometimes it still cuts.

Mysteries and illness.....my biggest vices feeling through as if a segment of partition from a lifetime ago. I withstand the secret sympathies and tortured agonies. Everybody loves, everybody dies. Everybody buries the body outside. So out of mind.

The occasional meet up for pills and supplements. In my weary state, could you take what's left of me and drain it down the sink? I feel I'm of no use anymore. I could deal with the finest you give me. I'm always amazed by the charisma you exude to your customers. The finest performances and the most knowledgeable in your field of expertise. It's just a shame I got the other side of your crazed persona. The one that belittles and spies from underneath the wires.

I disintegrate and melt into a thousand different bodies not one touching another. A vision of future, a prospect from hell. I dreamt of a Canadian summer and winter to compliment how torn apart I am. No decency in failing even their most basic hopes in me. Why continue a losing battle?

Shifting Politics of Stupidity

I felt like a wreck trying to walk to the bus. My body's in pieces and I'm told that I hope to get better. Meanwhile I fall apart. There's no sinking ships here - just empty vessels. There's no use in florid language when I describe what's really happening. Physio appointments, subjects of pain. Moments of wondering if this is real or just another example of a photogenic death. No one reads you anyway, it's all just for show. But the part that wins is the part that dies. Bone structure and muscle tightness. Linking the two together so that they become stones. The rest become like glass. Rehabilitation of destruction. Seismic shifts in disintegration. And we build our laws on shifting politics of stupidity. Hip to hip Heart to heart Who knows that we're all Just fallling apart And in these silent moments, I feel so stupid that I only wish it would end. A pill, a cream or something stronger. Tomorrow's another day. Another day to repeat the same...

The Ruins of a Faded Life

Along the echoes, past the icy shores. Dreams of a longing going unrequited. You made your bets and came up short. Here he is, the golden child. Seeking bitterness out of the ruins of a faded life. Bowing to the music from another temple. He dreams of iconic nights in a sheen of paper dust. Watch the film roll and watch it all burn. Anxiety forms in the secret shadows, the faucet drips of a secret amnesia etching out familiar words to the former sacred mind. Disintegrating memories of compassion in a lifeless world. Business comes, business calls. Tomorrow's vendetta is last week's sense of dread. But hop in to think out for solutions in the week ahead. If death was the answer, it would have been too good. After all, how fortunate it is for me to want anything at all.

Kill Me In The Strawberry Fields

Kill me in the strawberry fields where no one may seem to notice. I bring the curtains and the veils, you can drink the wine sweetened with elderflower. Intoxicated on certain lusts which break the mould on growing old. It's here that we fed you, it's here that we led you down garden paths. Quick, dear, we're getting old. Gorging on demise, a secret network - a disguise. I want to follow, I want to get lost in the image. To dream impossible things stuck on a level that's never giving, never yielding to the mistakes that have always been. I only escape in my dreams and even they start to suffocate. Kill me in the strawberry fields where no one may seem to notice. I bring the curtains and veils, you can drink the wine sweetened with elderflower. I fear that talking may make an enemy out of me.
