Memories are like clothes drying in the wind, I help the Angel’s mend their wings. I read poetry I don’t understand. There’s salt on my skin after swimming with Sylvia Plath. We throw words to each other and catch them. I urge you to write and stop the beast with his hands around the throat of a virgin. Now I’ve lost my looks, I sell books instead. Am I talented? The mad hatters tea party in Manhattan. Drinks after dark and life after art. It draws us closer, it sets us apart. On the other side of the world the money is greener.

For any of you who slip down the rabbit hole and fall into the mad world of Lady gaga, God help you.

Bowie came to me in a dream, when the icecream moon dripped outside my window. Low tide in the morning on my unmade bed. A soup can leviathan at the bottom of my heart. Bowie told me I owed it to the kids to keep the dream alive. At the edge of the city was the three chord hitch hiker. We sung our way across America. Bowie told me you reap what you sow. He’s glowing in heaven.

On a journey to Queensland in the symbolic journeys spiritual shop I opened a book to read, poets are damned but they’re not blind, they see with the eyes of angels. I never called myself a Christian yet I believe in the power of the lord, when I stopped handing every spare dollar to the homeless, when I embraced the devilish nature of myself, when I got more insight from the autistic mystic than I ever did from church ,that’s when I knew I was in the matrix, a Madonna magazine writer who also says outrageous things about Madonna

You don’t have to dress up for Halloween Madonna, one look at you and I’m scared.

I’m not welcome in Trump’s America

Look at me, I’ve got a warm bed every night, then look at the homeless man living on the edge of the city. The salute I learnt in the Airforce is longest way up, shortest way down. I spent the weekend taking the homeless man for drinks in the park. I’m not physically able to solve his problems, and he can’t solve mine. Instead we sat at a picnic table by the river. Oh, the riddles of life.

During the day he sits on the street between the pub and the supermarket, a fallen life waiting for falling coins. I buy him a sandwich sometimes and I feel like a king then, doing the lord’s work. But giving money all the time to the homeless beggar just begs the question who’s helping me. The ex boxer turned butcher walks past and says God bless, lives in excess are in the windows of the hotel drinking pints of liquid gold. The homeless man smokes butts he picks up off the street. Cut throat citizens walk past and give him nothing.

Do what’s in your heart, said my neighbour, kindness is not a curse. He labours all day, sitting on the street like the suffering Buddha in a hoodie

We were like a couple of suckling puppies. My hand was on his crotch that was hard, I was on a mission to Mars.

Lounge lizards in heaven are watching the news unfold, a world racing towards annihilation, but I’m a poet in the centre of a lotus flower, in isolation.

When the lady sings her jazz, some fantastic melody in Vegas where we’re all on holiday from our sins, someone screams out sing it bitch and the audience whips the horses on a fast moving chariot in a show only for the 18 carat gold and over.

Happy hour still happens even for a sober man. I was struck by lightning, inspired to write, addiction makes a great story. Through adversity, seeing angels. I saw jesus, I saw Jack kerouacs Doctor Sax.
