a drunk is not going to, suddenly,
think himself as anything,
other than a "before"...

         to integrate into a culture,
is to be governed by a bias,
or at least, to be,
alleviated by the bias,

   i came upon these isles
without a pior post-colonial
juidgement,
  but i'm sensing that,
that's what's required
to allow the shallow standards
of integration...

see, my position is far from
unique,
i don't actually dispose myself
to calm the nerves
of a northern transit of
    counter-arguments,
against the racists...

    am i here,
  solely to inherit this circus
of the current events?
can i just listen to the epitome
of the 1980s...
with simply red...
and not something akin
to the cure or
depeche mode?
  god, they were great,
in hyde park...
who? depeche mode...
beat aerosmith...
   two girls in company...
promis and...
  she's... she's....
            already married...
i remember talking to her
on d.m. via MSN...
her name...
                    not Alesha...
i'm pretty sure it began
with an A...
   no, Lebanon doesn't spawn
Alisons...
  ****! what was her name?
Braintree! ****...
that's a city in Essex...
   Ayisha...
                no... that's not it...
         she's Lebanese...
****...
                i can't remember her name,
a name that's,
           pop culture worth...
so much for Layla,
so much for Keileigh...
  so much for all the other
love songs...
                   ****!
now i have it!
            ALICIA...
               leb- alicia...
tender as a daffodil...
           ****! i managed to remember!

Alice in Woderland: *** C.I.A.,
  leb-
       eh...
  **** me...
i just planted a cherry tree....
i'm getting bitten on the non-existing
bite-markers compensation...
                 around the toes...
    there's a solo aspect
of rhythm guitar,
in the line of sight
of clapton...
    and i'm fiddling,
to find the proper jazz trumpet...
and a pawnbroker jew,
and...
       the "magic" celtic stone
of prayer to boot?

   well, that's me,
happy to be the fiddly drunk,
happy to be drunk,
  happy to not have
the sort of narrative that
might not allow,
someone having their life
ruined...    

               as i told one gilded crown
of patience and company:
you know, that i'll ruin you...
then? she drops out 4 sweethearts...
and i... luckily,
remained confined to making
company with shadows...

                i'd love to become bitter,
as i'd love, to also,
become prone to the waiting game,
lies, and the persistence of
covering up markers,
whether by foot or by hands,
or the items of hair of nails...

  n'ah...
i must prefer someone living a lie,
than outright stripping them
of the "decency" to conjure up
a throng outlet of lied to: people...
           some would claim:
i'm bitter happy...
  i'm the pristine, operatic example
              prone
of schadenfreude...
i abhor exercising my
canvas of emotion
   against the paint-brush of
                                 schadenfreude...
no point: in fact,
of slaughtering an animal:
if you're not going to eat it...

so i came across the english,
post-scriptum of the, empire...
i hear a voice from the north
diminish the per se existence pride...
and i'm like...
   all i have to inherit,
is a garden, in an out-suburbian
setting...
      what the **** have i inherited,
that the natives,
will not own up to?
                   am i supposed
to own up to their past history,
is history even being towed
to make a summary,
of next week's Monday?

          so i'm supposed to come
"clean" concerning
the Ukrainians,
the Lithuanians...
   or the fact that the "other"
commonwealth,
was non-existent, until about,
100 years ago?
  lucky me: there's no pride associated
with it...
   i just don't know what it feels
like, what it feels like,
belonging to a horde of shrapnel
individualists,
cosmopolitan...
             zombie-brains...

  you got me...
      i speak an acquired language of
a people i can't relate to outside
of London,
and i've inherited a language
of a people i can't relaste to,
beside "exile"...
   economic "war",
such a slow riddled theatre...
            
    i know the blame i'm supposed
to put on myself:
i will continue celebrating
my drinking excesses...
          but i will not...
suddenly, somehow...
       concentrate all this blame &
shake gaming,
for a pontius pilate diversion...
and allow...
the other side: the full pardon...
scot-free behaviour...

   i can take the blame i am allowanced...
but to... somehow...
walk away blameless?
    sure... prostitutes...
because i didn't feel like
being ****** over by
"spy dough in the oven"
dynamic of lying about
contraception...

          unless you're about to tell me
that s.t.d's are transmitted ******,
via slurping on
a warm slush-puppy of excess skin...
you tell me...
   i should have found myself
mildly entertained
by playing the roulette,
than ******* some russian hag.
