The Brighton Poem - Work In Progress

I live a prophecy
As homage to Mann
And Bogarde's smug smile

Same draped
The white shirt
The yellow tie
The sea blue
The white paper
Coloured pencil
Uncovered definition

Sea striped some light some dark
Sky stripes of cloud muddle perception
No Tadzio just man and sea
No Tadzio just sea and me
I lean on the green rail
My tailored jacket on my arm
Unsure of that water or land
The world stretched of free perplexity

Uptown Haters Skit

[Chorus:]
Sometimes i hear you calling out my name,
And i hear you deep down inna mi brain,
If i'm a fool i've only got myself to blame, self to blame, self to blame
Well i can see the sign 'cause i'm not blind,
Although you're not mine from time to time,
I've got to let you know you are my sunshine, my sunshine, my sunshine
[Verse1:]
I love you baby but you don't love me back...Why,
You drive me crazy 'cause yu fi gi mi dat...bly,
You make me high! I just can't deny,
Love out potential a fill up inna i and i,
Just give me the privilege and run a way yu man,
I got the plan! fi mek yu tun on,
Baby just believe me 'cause my word is my bond!,
Sometime i think i hear you but i am hearing wrong, girl!
[Chorus]
[Verse2:]
Rude bwoy loving a nu something fi she ramp wid,
Everyman him need a woman fi be a live blanket,

The Tower Beyond Tragedy

I
You'd never have thought the Queen was Helen's sister- Troy's
burning-flower from Sparta, the beautiful sea-flower
Cut in clear stone, crowned with the fragrant golden mane, she
the ageless, the uncontaminable-
This Clytemnestra was her sister, low-statured, fierce-lipped, not
dark nor blonde, greenish-gray-eyed,
Sinewed with strength, you saw, under the purple folds of the
queen-cloak, but craftier than queenly,
Standing between the gilded wooden porch-pillars, great steps of
stone above the steep street,
Awaiting the King.
Most of his men were quartered on the town;
he, clanking bronze, with fifty
And certain captives, came to the stair. The Queen's men were
a hundred in the street and a hundred
Lining the ramp, eighty on the great flags of the porch; she
raising her white arms the spear-butts
Thundered on the stone, and the shields clashed; eight shining
clarions

The poor man in court

The observers foresee that
at least once in my life
I will find Justice.

What kind of face will my Justice have..!
How old will it be..!
Its wallet...will it be empty or full..?

I am certain
that the words for my protection
will be borrowed from extinct languages
because for the moment
there is no intelligible dictionary
to protect me.

So as you can see
my justice will be very old.

King Solomon

The women who King Solomon loved
the most
were those women
whose soul he'd imagined
like the rivers flow.

But immediately after
this ardent desire
old Solomon coolly concluded
that the rivers' flow leads them to the sea
and to that baundless blue of the oceans
where all the Temples and Sins
of the Earth are devitalised
and the might thus lose the control
he had over Women.

Six pack muscles; half nude
Not a machoman walking on ramp
Fisherman at swamp

I dropped to the lowest point when I allowed my children to go down that ramp into the water without me.
