Airports

Airports  

All the love ambition 
Prejudice and hurt

Everything processed through 
What we've seen felt done and heard

All the imagination
Incarceration and rebirth

We carry the history
In our unspoken attitudes 

Body language assumptions
And sense of rectitude

We're never above it
It's never far away, I'm sure

Each time I'm in public 
I'm reminded of this dependency

The needs of the many
The rights of a few

All are required to be processed

Through an eight-year old's point of view

Life of the ****

  Life of the ****   I love your body   I made a map that I study   there’s just one thing   that distracts me from loving   ideas haunt me   they take me out for shopping   through imagination   stretching endlessly   tell me what you’re building   behind those eyes   come live with me   in the life of the mind   we go from the streets   to penthouse high   but there’s something   more precious by design   enough parties   enough clothes   can’t spend hours   talking about sports   give me a novel or a film obscure my mind’s got enough   junk to last months
