Being underage is like living in the prohibition era There's always a party going on somewhere Golden girls with bobbed hair and flowing clothing Bad boys over-age importing alcohol in. The roaring under-20s The tales of the Jazz age There's always a dance to have A friend to stick with A boy to catch your eye. I never got invited to parties That is, until I reached the roaring heights Of high society When for one night I was the focus of your attention No other girl danced as much with you. People were taking drags on long cigarettes Noise everywhere, wild young hearts aflame You caught my eye once more And you looked at me the way all girls want to be looked at. Our courage bubbled over, I gave you a kiss on the cheek A Parisian end to the night And I let you go off Into the misty green light.

The Roaring Under-20s
In the Presidential Palace, the steaks are served up seared. There’s an excellent wine cellar for meals expertly prepared. The Palace is cool in summer; in winter it's toasty warm, And Maduro and his spouse are always safe and free from harm. In the streets of Venezuela there is anger and despair. Inflation is the problem but why should Maduro care. The store shelves are nearly empty; most people live in fear There is ****** done in daylight and the sense that chaos nears. This was once a beautiful, Prosperous land, the envy of the South. Then a populist Socialist came to drive investors out. Now a nation, resource rich, has been importing oil, a nation whose own oil reserves are the greatest in the world. His critics?- dead or imprisoned; the media is controlled There’s no term limits on his rule. Voters do as they are told. Demonstrators, even peaceful, can be shot down in the street While Maduro sips his wine and decides what next he’ll have to eat.

Build me a mountain way up to the sky and throw in a river with boats sailing by, I have movies that float in my head and my eyes see them all when I'm home in the dark, in my bed there's a shark that plays music to me, ghosts and chameleons they're all running free so build me a mountain and allow me to climb, bring me buckets and spades and some cool Rayban shades, I want Sun, I want some, some fun, wholesome, some funsome and frolic, a nice alcoholic drink in a cup with a straw, see-saws and dodgems, amusements and candy, men on stilts, girls in kilts, ducks with hooks, story books, slides and rides galore, give me more, more me, running free with the chameleons and ghosts, trains to the coast can call then, see the mountain and when the can falls hit by three wooden ***** hear the shouts, glee on the roundabouts, goldfish in a bowl, hole in one for a prize, crazy golf, crazy eyes. Build me a mountain way up to the sky and I'll show you how and I'll tell you why it's importantly me, importing some glee, running crazy mad free, with boats sailing by.

*actually, the only home i have are the muddy fields of belgium during world war i, or among the jews, but given the jews are settled, i guess i better daydream: i mean i never got the cultural imprint of the english idea of dating... put me in the Czech Republic and i'd be freely participating in ****** any day... this stiffening date-culture never appealed to me, it always felt like a divorce before a marriage: so no amorous fun with body but fun in making out in cordiality of being fully dressed and lapping palettes up with tongue rather than the ******** as if throwing a coconut at Robinson Crusoe? yes?! ah crap... point towards the Zulu clan, i just feel the need to strip naked.* yeah, i believe in meow-meow land, that's the country next to la-la-land... where you're trying to sterilise yourself in terms of organic historicity and integrate yourself in terms of inorganic sterilisation via importing alien values to hush the monogamy crescendo of failure. with the irish telling you: ain't no english... and with scots you shout back: there's no thing as to be treated impossible whether in thought about or moved! the irish want you to have a coarse enough accent as them so you can be belittled... i always favoured the scots, warm-hearted ******** and i too the first hairy-shinned trans-gender kilt loving twirly girl of a music box of cherry tree cheaply picked Muzak for the thrills of shopping for cardigans and pineapples.

this is the search to my found the balance the hang to my swing in a trance looking out Wanting answers Importing some meaningless in - count her once twice It will not be free It is already owe her undone with in due course Everything is asset should be? Know more meetings necessary open it in words won last time you'd hold me it wouldn't be different when you look: din (the mirror) The shawl curls lazy on the floor and the shine creep sin - eyes drawn to light ex turn all the handles and peer into dusky rooms full of things we say when we need someone are you he(re how long for)? are you (go.)ne for an emb(race) the fear falling fast **** it's freezing in here without you have no name no excuse yet to leave or stay no depart date in mind or in mine which is better? sewing fused with you full of **** - there's some one at the door I think but what if there isn't ?

benign zombies (notes from the underground food court)
Take me back to the days Where the feel of texture and distinguishing colors among Africans didn't matter Where the only word was black, and not pale or darker Where the only weapon was loyalty upto royalty actually smarter Where mother tongue superiority excelled the rest was after. Where rituals and ceremonies were significant in culture Where oral traditions activities was a preservation of history. Where inclusivity wasn't done based on tribe, status or age Where inspiration and education was passed from generation to generation through storytelling. Where people performed rather than spoke Where the media was the speaker's tone, volume, and cadence Take me back to the days Where people did not blame nationality, ethnicity, culture, economics and education Where there was no colonial ********** Where there was no concept of slavery, racism or discrimination. Where Africa was rich in culture and not the fallacy of primitive and a backward jungle Where Africa was peaceful and not a race with guns and violent. Where shouting am black and proud wasn't important because color didn't matter. Where respect for elders remained an unbroken cornerstone in african culture Where birth, marriage and burial rites was honored. Welcome to today's Africa Where exporting and importing of cultures have become the trend Where cultures travel through deserts, cross trade routes and through immigration borders Where exchange disregards our notions of geography and race. Where virtues such as hospitality, empathy, courtesy and respect is long gone Where the only thing left are byproducts of culture. Where multiculturalism has faded and everone hails on becoming one The richness is not in Africa looking like Europe What makes the world beautiful is in the diverse contributions Welcome to today's Africa Where culture is paraded on an image of drum beating Where media's notion is dancing naked or eating bush meat Where in the midst of it all culture lost its definition Where there is no importance in defending a territory with no boundaries. Where technology dominated our land and mind The struggle lies in reclaiming what is rightfully ours I refuse to fall and cramble because I'm for the idea of sameness. In the mind is where it all starts I put no blame on culture, not my affliction.

She reflects. Time, Time patterns, events, Sorts them into allotted Compartments inside Her head. Or attempts The task whilst smoking, Sensing the smoke hit The back of her throat, Trying to keep thoughts In order, separate the Chaff, the small talk, The did I tell you what So and so did, kind of Chatter, nothing of Importance, no real Matter. Toadbody Imported philosophy Into her mind, the left Wing Marxian kind, But ****** her well at The same time. He had A wart on his ***** Felt rather than seen, Somewhat like the love Of God, she thought. She Knew she had the pox. Another Toadbody import, A parting gift no doubt, After the rude disagreement And noisy rout. She inhales The smoke. Remembers Toadbody’s attempts at Long lasting *** as a huge Joke. She still dreams of Capitalism’s demise, the long Ago promised revolution to Come over the hill of history Like a ****** out ***** Murdering millions, pretty Much as it did before. She Imagines Toadbody importing Into another dame his weak Philosophy, ***** and love For want of a better name. She is free of him. Out on A limb, staring at stars and Moon, waiting for God or fate To bring her another love or Lover or sexually satisfying mate.
