Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

bile

the shining white box i draw around my synapses is crumbling

away with the drip

      drip

                drip-feed of senseless misery and i long

for the surface of the moon and the ebb and flow of cosmic flotsam

but instead we are stuck still like a cliff of burning light ero-

ded by piss and sweat

and praise the lord and allahu akbar

and mantras and chants

and the selfish buddhists only in it for themselves and energy

and spirit and all the other weekend hippie bullshit pumped

into gullible idiots brains by a sick machine fuelled by dollar

and decay and the cancerous open wound that is organised

religion which turns blood to mercury and smiles to endless shit

stink misery and each time a tiny glimpse of what we could be comes

around we shoot it in the head so let’s just melt everything down and

start again on an atomic level and this time let’s try not to fuck it

 

up.

thanks all. it just spilled out which i think serves the tumbling performance notion well.

martin, i'd love to come. i just need somewhere to stand and shout! its hard at the moment, the wife is VERY pregnant so i have to plan trips really carefully. i often look at all the events quite ruefully, i feel there's a lot more i could be doing but sadly i chose a) not to learn to drive and b) live slap bang in the middle of nowhere. so i'm limited! but given a concrete invite i'd make the journey.

This is great Stu. I particularly love ....'fuelled by dollar and decay and the cancerous open wound'...
I like the way the whole piece flows as David says the tumbling sense of this. I agree this would make a fabulous piece to perform. Are you coming over to the North west again any time soon.
Fantastic

Fabulous! Practice x a million and the best of luck for it :) I'd love to see film of it if you can get it too.

I think what you and others are going through is a disillusionment of established religious orthodoxy, leading to a cul de sac of pointlessness. Me too; I've always sought loopholes - can't see the point of pomp and holier than thousand thees and thys or their foreign equivalents.

The death throes are in place -just a matter of time.

very nicely expressed. Ray

Oooo! Biffed me in the nose this. This would make an amazing performance piece. It builds beautifully. I would be ranting my fucking head off by the end of this. Do it do it do it.
