smokejack

Conceived in an alley born in a cave raised on seaweed. Spent my early years on a roofrack. Left School at 10 caught by truant officer back at school by 11. I'm a twin of two others and I can play several instruments in my head and none with my hands. My first job was part time I painted the odd numbers on dice. I made a career out of avoiding a career.  My body is a temple often prodded by archeologists.

 

My stories

We Are All Barcodes Now

Bankers took a gamble and failed Left this world torn and broken Not a single banker was jailed For turning us all into tokens Governments are happily complicit The trough is feeding the sow

No Longer Mine

Remember when we threw our wishes into the sea And watched the wind take them away The indents in the sand filling with water Erasing our faces drawn on that cold day
Cherry

In the park of a small town anywhere

Summer is closed Autumn was barely alive before being smothered by winter Now it’s time to survive The noise intermittent and pronounced Often appearing unannounced
Cherry

Crept out in secret

A spoon fed day stretches out Naked as an empty clothes line That’s tied to itself Left to nature’s teasing As daylight leaves early once again On winters slowest train
