The Painter Paints - Shriekback

The painter paints and the writer writes

What will you do, what will you do?

The painter paints and the writer writes

What will you do tonight?

Hanging on and standing alone, beyond salvation, beyond standard procedure,

with the jagged loops and loopholes closing up, we are living defining moments

in stupidity, ego-powered, transient

In the give and take and borrow, when accountability is forgotten or futile,

the degradation of detail is not only likely but is likely to be desirable:

decay is a feasible strategy

What will you do, what will you do?

Alternatively, we advance through memory and moonbeams, past malevolence and

moodswings, to a state of continuous unreasonable excitement, vibrant,

untenable and momentous

So follow, follow, follow the lonely, lowly, lovely cowboy wandering

thoughtless into the supermarket supermodel sunset.
