hmm but then I saw something
something quite new,
something candid
something candid
something almost true
a man, from Vietnam
in awe, sheer awe
at the beauty of big ben
at the beauty of big ben
that's when
it clicked!
but then it un-clicked for a
tourist clicked
the button on his camera
and in a flash it was gone
-connection-
so I stared back
once more
at the houses of parliament
at the houses of parliament
-disarmament-
-antioxidant-
-entomologist-
(random)
like life, like london, like this poem
as I crossed the river
as I travelled back south
those familiar mountains
those estate blocks
appeared on the horizon
bounding! invisible, yet confounding
-the imperial war museum-
(closed)
the roundabouts:
dem hotel workers be havin a smoke
under a dark bridge
away from the river boats
away from the suits
I carried on wandering
my feet did not touch the ground
though once or twice, I ground
to a halt and just stared up
at the sun and I wondered
nothing. I wandered nothingness.
a few countless more steps. I ended up
where? Hmm I don't care
neither do you
still this beauty: it's nothing new
-discolour your life, with madness-
-discolour your life, with madness-
