Jazz is My Religion and Surrealism is My Point of View
Quote taken from chalkboard message in the window of Shakespeare and Company, Paris.
Homeless
I am a thing / not a thing
elevated to the status
of object / product
a float between what
you’ve seen / thought you saw
.          / ignored
the error of our ways
is the tragedy of our days
how long until O becomes Q
until the realisation gains a tail
& the question of de-evolution
is reconsidered by apes
on a production line
look, squatted in a shopfront
under discoloured blankets
the disgrace of our lives
thrown from the line
I am a thing / not a thing
