chin up

It might be that the public library that I visited years ago still has reaching out from a broken tile in a bathroom ceiling many wisps of fibre that resemble asbestos

Here are my notes from other night

Nice sounding intro eventually

Detuned keys unease feeling (bring in later)
Trading places / baton relay
Rain / flams
5 drop the 6

Start simple and let it establish
Really,
Let it establish. It is 30 minutes
It is long. Maybe longer than you think
Maybe it isn't
Don't get too hasty

Circle round:
A - 10 min - hint at settled
B - 18 min - pulling apart
C - 02 min - resettle 
Then unsettle (this is later)


Here are my notes in playlist form

Fantastic animals hang, but elsewhere


Sweet scoop happy days party time pick 'n mix
You can't song not like that not while I'm here
But enthusiasm like moss growing on a rock

We will protect you
I didn't walk away when you arrived
But it lasts

No supper for johnnycake a hungry boy doth make
We came all this way just to see the back of your head
Rock solid bookedfull of keen inside

Keep the pen it has our contact details on it
This isn't that kind of show
Watering the weeds in the garden (don't worry if you lose one we'll help you make more)

The death of a menu
I'll fight back
Look at their hands go up

parsecs

The column of man;
they let off fireworks from the top.

I sit down and look up at the column.

I was a speck of dirt on the window vane
located in the toilet of the building where
my band rehearsed on Thursdays when
I wasn't busy with school and kids.

I close the door behind it.

Who turned out the light?
I'll sing out in the dark.

Indicating is for other people.

I am a good citizen.
I do not [i do not want anyone getting the wrong idea of me] - I was there - like what you are doing.

the speed of sound in space


ever had that feeling

where i kicked you off into outer space

where you drift away into infinity

grasping for my space boot

in slow motion

and missing?

yea, me neither.

8


The way they express gratitude.
"Thank you for holding the door open for me."
But I wasn't going that way.

Standing outside, but only standing.

"I'll make you an offer you can't refuse."
This is going nowhere.

the column of man


all we have is time

time is what we trade

because it gives off light

we used to have more light

light that we sent away

into space
 

 


if yo
u look into the emptiness

you will see countless lights hanging in the sky

never going back

A hidden idiot in plain sight


To play for you something that I am, that is my tragedy.

For you to give that which I am not, that is your role.

I am man unreturned.

I learn to love my fishbowl and my self medications.

A perfect plan.

But it never works out for you.

I am to blame.

I am the other side of the glass.

And none of us are free.

broadcast from the post shop line

it's all gone wrong.
once, just once,
i'd like to give them a piece of my mind.
really raise hell,
born from their shoulder pads,
and set forth my howl
such to farewell their lapels.
it's just not on.
every time I visit,
(it drives me mad)
every time I visit,
they've changed something.
oh no. there will be
no sense of reserved compliance
or any naysaying in the bays,
from pew to pulpit.
the gall!
"due to circumstances beyond our control,
(good morning mr president)
stamps are now 50 cents."
this'll show 'em.
next time,
I'm bringing a letter.

Touchdown

This was some of my thoughts laid out.
