Karen Walker & someone else this morning, Bev

Chanel No. 5 very strong

Click click heels, ''should, could bla'' bla bla

Fags, Man!

Too fluffy, like you're not even touching it

''Bla, should , could, Oh well.''

The T.V interview/ The smoke I inhaled

A woman with too much make-up. A mirror

Blood on tongue

The feeling of discontent...too many faces, fakeness...face value

''How much longer?''5.6.7.8......

(DISCOURAGE)

Fear

Pain

Sorrow

Nerves

The smell of perspiration

The sound of silence, panting, shouting

The taste of bile

A complete metaphysical constriction

Of body and brain

Argh!

It can taste like bile

It can sound like silence

Or like a scream

It can smell like fear

Constricts your body and mind

(ANXIETY)

The shade of green of the trees,

The lustful bird cries

The relaxation of morning dew

A laptop,

A bookcase full of books

Notepads

And a stack of pens

Far away lands

And familiar

Yet unfamiliar people

Different aspects of myself

Everything I can

Yet stay seperate from it

Other's conversation

The colour of a man's tie

The way a child walks

The interaction of human

And place

Solitude

Can be my best friend

And my worst enemy

I smell the trees and record how I feel

I take a notepad

And jot it down

I sit

Remembering the unreal

And search for an aspect of myself

To add to this creation.

Opportunity

Less than desired

Home- a time of innocence

Feigned friends and bundles

Of charm

Who is next?

Opportunity

Less than desired

Who will be next?

Feigned friends and bundles

Of Charm

Home, a time of innocence.

(A HUSTLER)

Looks like a close embrace

It smells like teen spirit and feels painful

Sounds like Godspeed, you!

Loud noises,

Something disgusting

I wish I didn't have to deal with everyday

Day, after day

Grey cell

I feel like I'm in Orwells

Big Brother

Maxwell Demon and Winston

Winston Churchill?

Machines, bored men. Yellow suits

Sickening smells

9-5

40years

Boring job. But it needs to be done

Somebody needs to do it

Loud noises

Something disgusting

Grey cell

Orwell's Big Brother. Maxell Demon.

Machines

Capitalism

Yellow suits and sickening smells

9-5 40years

Somebody needs to do it
