TRAPPED STICKS:

I was never a fan of social media,
Don’t make me laugh!
What century are you living in?

High resolution Is a tough transition,

Like hearing your own voice on the radio in the shower,
When all you wanted was to be entertained

(K)

WIRED:

What did you listen to when you were growing up?
What did you do next?
What do you do to get yourself noticed?
Everybody looking,
The next thing,
Small town,
Wishful,
Thinking,
Dreams into action,
Unconscious,
Covered in numbers,
Marooned in conversations,
Telephoned by no one,
It shouldn’t be hard for one so rooted in romance,
To pay the rent

(K)

WALKABOUT:

All the guitars are wining on the radio,
It’s not radio,
It’s the internet,
What did you expect?
Too much intellect

(K)

BIG TOP SUN:

She laughs & says my name,
Brings me sweets things,
Just in time for me leaving,
In a rush against time,
On a mission to change the world,

It’s drive,
A set of rising numbers,
It’s all adding up,
Like a French radio station in an Italian cafe,
Like everybody’s different,

The milk,
The art,
The instructions,
Let’s get it right,
It’s no use just looking pretty

(K)

STICK PEOPLE:

You sent sound,
From north of these words,
A magic hole opened,
It fell out,
From invisible to invisible,
Underlined in Blue,
Select,
Click,
Download,
Direct,
What did you expect?

(K)

PATTERN:

You started shouting again,
Just as you were leaving,
It’s a touch,
A ripple,
A hole in the doughnut,

You let one off,
Walked out,
Slammed the door,
Drove away,

Disdain,
Frustration,
Vibration,
A pattern,
You’re good at,

What’s it’s name?

(K)

SNOW MUSIC:

Did I do something right?
Or wrong?

(K)

HANS ARP:

I’m bored,
Waiting to make a sound,
I’ve been whitemailed by the marks you left for me,
Dark sculptural forms wait down the track,
An empty platform at night,
A distant duck,
A saucerful of Africa,
A bag,
A pallet of Red,
A mouth at the door,
A sofa ditched in a beauty spot,
Deciphering a masterpiece

(K)

SOUND & FOOTWEAR:

How are you?
What’s going on?
What’s that playing in the background?
Haven’t seen you much?
What’s up?
Hows the head?
Oh yeah?
I’m home tonight if you want to talk,
The phones don’t work,
Call anyway,
I’ll make you laugh

(K)

SMALL CHILD DRESSED AS A GIANT CARDBOARD TEAPOT:

You were pushed,
You lost a tooth,
Bone into water,
A piece of you on top of the world forever,
Where the sun comes down to touch the sea,
Before returning to the sky,
We parked & watched,
Invisible to the naked eye,
Legendary shark-mouth times

(K)
