PARIAH

cold concrete touches the
warm skin of her back
cold blasting winds trace the line of her jaw
she shudders
 
WASTELAND      once a playground for the critique of
               reason and creative activity
 
RUBBLE       she looks back o her past – she sees rubble
 
     golf carts passing on distant hills
       sirens blaring down distant streets
     unrecognisable voices promise things I don’t want
 
PARIAH
 
I need a pariah
 
 
meditative stasis
 
 
what does one see when one meets an objective view of one’s past?

Statements

Like days spent on ice skates

Can you dance
to someone else’s tune?

Should you change your standards for pleasure?

Should you be attracted to something
because it’s there?

Please don’t shoot
the messenger

I plunder with thee

Sometimes you just can’t
help who you
fall in love with

To see the past in
terms of
PAST

Do I need tools to play?

I’m willing to play,
as long as you don’t go
changin’ the rules on me.

It’s my bat and ball
and I make the rules.

If you try and change the rules,
I’ll take my bat and ball and go home.

                              You ask her where she has been –
                              but do you really want to know?
                              her secrets
                              her evil (hidden in the backblocks of

Subjective vision

               Subjective vision
                                   of subjective experience.
 
 
 
 
her eyes caress
     the crevices of the world
          as she experiences it;
          as she lusts for it to be;
 
 
sites of existence
possibilities of experience
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Attempts made to bend my reality…
