Jonny-no-stars

I think it's great I got to christen myself!

People who don't like being alone: I used to dislike them. Then I pitied them. Now I ignore them.

Here's something "artistic" (whuuuuuuuuuuuuffffffffff!)


Situation s vacant.

I’ll take a line from you and spin it into my web,
I’d concern my time with your concern but instead,
I’ll spend your time, take the slack and bury the dead.

I’ll fly interference, run the gauntlet of choice,
Smoked you in the mirror, hidden ‘midst the noise
As the moment comes around it’s time you lose.

Spontaneity combusts, fly high on the swing
Find a friend and hold on tight, live in camera clicks
Sleight of smile brings you round again to reminisce

Turn right, left, right, turn again to avoid Alone,
It’s not the place you wanted, the place to feel at home
Wonder why as wind cuts your flesh, feel you erode.

Forty years or more, the last of the dying breed
Forty years of coloured chromosome pictures, read
‘tween the lines, see you were always yesterday’s news.

Rocking chair romeo, Now ev’ry day’s just like the last,
You ask yourself why do you bother with the past?
The ache of Age has stolen it all from your grasp.

But in the light of yesterday’s false dawn, High Noon
There’s a reason for everything; it’s free: you choose.
Don’t worry about it, We’ll keep it safe for you

Now peace reigns as you and I always knew it would
And all that is and was is for the greater good
So would you change a moment, even if you could?

Can you tell I knocked it up in half an hour? Can ya? Can ya?

Blast! You mean I actually have to think about it?

OK, it may have taken 35 mins; I couldn't concentrate.

Yeah. The one (if there was one) where I popped my back. Cinch, really.
