in the kitchen i was a
pearl diver-
(dish washer)

all but invisible
but in good company-
george orwell etc

there was lower-
the temporary
kitchen porter

(dish washer)
or kp..
did nt they make

nuts?
yeah..that was us-
wash dishes for eight

hours
see how you feel
there were free meals

and kitchen drama
the chef liked guinness
they stole my boots..

there will always be-
love and hate
(that won´t change)
always be faith..

there will  be music
beauty
the sky and the
sea

the stars
there is enough
there is us
you and me..

well any-how
civilizations come and go
why-we don´t know-or
we do..volcanos..
general disinterest
god or a lack there of..
and then we look back and
say-do you know
they threw christians to
starving lions?!
things like that..
how did they build the
pyramids-whips-(that joke is
nearly old as the pyramids..)
and what about aliens
they know we are here but
can´t be arsed
who can blame them..
better in the stars?!
so, i
was wondering if we could
see our selves a few centuries hence
what might be the common consensus
what might shock and surprise
what will remain the same
s..

well says lily
i don´t mind poetry
of depression and anxt..
(anxiety)

if it is a release
or catalyst
but since no-one has
ever

shown understanding
or (god forbid) pity
to me
i say, what about the

weather?-
what future if we
***** on the poor
and soak the rich..?

no-one?
well, he was a great
painter
troubled and kind in
about equal measure..

if we see his
portraits
(of himself)
we see ourselves
looking out

resolute but
questioning..
found and lost
in about equal measures-
what to do?

what i am doing
here?
he says-
look to the stars
each one there!

yes..monkey-
a genius miss!?
certainly
love to the faithful
see

the colors
and the frailty of
the potato eaters
is it not us..
little brothers/sisters..

one given to utopian predilection miss
one who sees the stars-
my mum says my dad
lives in a
dream and he should get off
his-
-yes-one who sees potential-
you all have potential, children!
so, why should someone be ostracised
or victimised
because they believe..?
someone like vincent van gogh
who was he?
someone else...?

yes miss-what is a society?-
well, that is a good question
it is us-

a collective consciousness
a guide for moral behaviour
supposedly..

mrs thatcher famously said
there is no such thing as
society

only a collection of
individuals and
immorality

greed etc
could make hay..
-and what did wilde

mean when he said
society can forgive a
criminal but never a

dreamer..?miss?
was he thinking of himself?
or perhaps jesus..

well children who
knows what a dreamer is..
monkey..?
