  My Head is in the Clouds And when, suddenly, the cabin vanishes, I rejoice. The metal hull, the rows of seats, the quiet murmurs of the other passengers, they have all dissolved as if outside the window. My physical body is still cocooned in that cramped airline seat, but my mind has completely broken free. I’ve left the interior world behind and stepped directly out into the stratosphere . Looking at this view, it’s as if I am no longer just travelling through the sky; I am becoming a part of it. The composition is split by a blinding, brilliant horizon line of gold and white light. Like a pure, energetic tear between the heavens and the earth. Below me, the tops of the clouds stretch out like a vast, frozen ocean of soft purples and deep, oceanic blues, holding the shadows of the world below.

Osaka Displaced

-
Image
Where to go when When struggles and feelings are destructive to your comparative mind When shifting displeasure from self-harm To those who have the power to harm Being denied by what you wanted For all of those legitimate reasons that pre-exist Osaka Standing I see you in the distance Some 7 lanes apart Standing alone in the rain At night sheltered by your umbrella Alone and in public being by yourself Not wanting to be noticed That is how we live now

Evidenced prosperity and eternal continuation Meticulously realised Requirement proof of achievement Dedicated resources symbolised Making sure the job was done Finding a way to demonstrate the cause Accounted merit & overlooked squander Each concentration of power justified Then scale is diverted to an even more grand stature These the practices of the elite The stories we tell ourselves To allow it at home The power of beautiful impressions  Being both good and bad Desirable and undesirable

Each decent is comparable Even if you live a 100 or a 1000 years The unavoidable fall into worldly affairs Entangled in its complications Entangled in its quarrels There are a number of vantage points Find them if you can Hiroshima Lion Dog The beginning of all things to end Once a symbol of strength With the power to repel evil With real malice and magical power to act But then the questions Who guards our guardians As we guard ourself from ourselves Until we finally rest in error And the social contract is disemboweled As the logistics fall apart From one misunderstanding to the next
