MEANWHILE IN SPACE... We wash our feet in the #interim, Time to relax and smoke an octopus with God. We know we'll be back, Probably in the cracks, Or maybe that tired bar in Colorado. I promised you India (And I know She'll come), But meanwhile, In space... #vss365 🕺❤️‍🔥💃

We live on the fringes of the field, Making friends then moving on, Sometimes we return, Mostly it's a farewell song. No permanent address But conformity has never been our thing. We still pay taxes But the state has no idea where, Or what, we are. (And nor do we.) #vss365 #fringe

FCK 9-5 You hit me with a #Sonic Boom, Street Fighter Guile's 'special move'. I was usually Chun-Li, Although you preferred fatalities On the other machine. We travelled 'round the world Taking photos in various positions, Ha! You almost got arrested In Mexico City. #vss365 🎮

CRACKER A hapless encounter Introduced me to his #unbridled rage. On another day We'd have shared a smoke, And talked about ‘United’ on the decline. Note to self: always carry a slick excuse, And tear gas (Enough to unhinge an elephant). #vss365 ⚽💨😭

📺DON'T WATCH THE COMMERCIALS🙈 They pitched a tent at The #reservoir of bad ideas, Stuck a TV outside the flaps And told us we could smoke the fish. We're the familiar army In thrift store boots, "Hey man, it's what we do!" But deja vu don't make it true. #vss365

DISTANCE IS THE BEST DEFENCE She flew me to the sun Via Venus (With a passing shot at #Mercury). I asked if we could take the long way back. She giggled And said it wasn't a return journey. Not for me at least. #vss365 🐙☀️

THE 1st and FINAL #CHASE God is the clock, God is the gun, The final seconds are a pack of dogs. We are somewhere, Somewhere in the matter, Long strides beyond today. This is a feast, Worthy of bones and light, God is the game, God is the knife. God is the clock. #vss365

THEY TELL US WHO TO HATE There was a break in combat, But no #liberation. The three minute truce Was enough time to reload our guns And sharpen the lances. As the cities prepared for celebration, We continued to slaughter their rivals. #vss365

The #Thoroughfare Between My Brain And My Heart Is... #vss365

I think of you, Beneath the #bathtub, Long into the shade, Among the lazy insects, In the corner of my brain. I wash my feet, And whistle to the news, Your dreams are in the heavens And the birds have got your shoes. I pull the plug, But it ain't over, ('Cos it's never done). #vss365
