Lid
See
the cool custom bike whisper on past
Give
him some Devil fingers there he goes
Cool
biker on a nice bike notice the features
Short
cut down rest mudguard his pith helmet
Green
with red star from Vietnam
Where
has he been on that bike and why?
We
are all on journeys I'm going to work
If
that was my bike where would I go?
More
Words
Haven’t
you noticed
There
is always something to say
I’ve
got things to say to my ex galfriend
Who
went no contact on me
I’ve
things t say to my old publisher
Things
could’ve been done better
I’ve
got things to say to the one
Who
gave me my writing talent
I’ve
got things to say to my dead parents
That
doesn’t matter here or for you
There’re
always more things to say
It
can be important or stupid
You
be the judge on that
How
can I say those extra things?
Is
there the time or opportunity
To
do so and free my conscience
Twin
Pains
Some
things are always there
Like
your memory of being there
With
me at a certain time and place
Like
my sore feet and aching legs
After
a hard river waterfall hike
There
are always risks
Being
involved with you
Doing
difficult hikes
I’d
do it all again
Make
it all last longer
Do
those hard hikes with you
If
we were to die
It
would be together
I
think of you now
After
writing about you
Where
are you now?
Doing
what with whom?
Star
Water
More
of the same following days
Stasis
nights gestating to what?
We
are who and what we are
Our
environment shapes us
Genetics
is part key but you
You
shaped me more than all factors
Why
is this? A kind of progress
Even
standing still growing to what?
All
things combined it is relevant
To
our tomorrow as life advances
Cannot
be stopped unless we
Split
the planet into three
You
get two pieces I just one
It's
always this way and written
Written
in the water and stars
Catalogued
Oceans
in rain falling down.
Like
rocks down the mountain
Gravity
basic science taking them down
This
is the way of this world
At a
certain place and time
3
dimensions the sweet spot
They
all know where it is
As
do we it's visitable in a ship
We
don’t need a ship we live here
And
spend half out time
Wrecking
the place ruining it
The
other half bemoaning that
Oh
save ourselves and this world
No
fake sky god will descend
From
the heavens and save us
That's
part of the biggest story book
Ever
fucking written sci-fi horror fantasy
Less
sales than the Ikea catalogue
All
about a planet named Earth
Who
will visit us next and how?

Enters
the numbers on the system
Check
the route on the display
It
gives you a timeline
Between
points how long
You
know where what how why
A
routine trip for you both
What
if a number was wrong?
Entered
wrong by you
Or
scrambled by the device
Where
will you end up
What
will happen
How
will you be
When
it all goes wrong
Numbers

What
of it all failed?
