# now playing in the lab background
nothing but flowers by the talking heads
via robert what hardcore freelance amateur post-modem resident internets theorist and internets lifestyle prophet
digital poetic fragments for humalien being abc
zero degree milky way shout
in which one awakes in frozen mornings
hating radio blare but still loving you
with each vibrating atom of this lonely soul
only slightly less than we used to
in which one staggers to the kitchen to switch on the heat
dreading the grey day ahead but looking so much to moment you step through the door again to give much needed hugs
in which one cannot thank you enough for the years putting up with our 'big science'
although we often argue and fuss over nothing the glowing vines of our eternal bond
delicate leaves of sweetest forever green wrap us in deep organic mystery
life still untold a grubby time faded indie band tshirt
words are difficult but not love's cosmic flow
or at least it does when we release our taps
cry out into lonely beautiful polyverses
in which that magnificent juicy arts manifests
slightly bigger each greying satellite year
beauty remains true a clear ringing iron bell
if only one could present this troubled alien world on a dented golden platter
for chances of fleeting sensual kisses
another frozen headlight stare into wild blue eyes displayed so proudly
permanent shining threats to an apparently universal male intelligence
in which one unlocks this poor doltish mind
an art of life on this unhappy backwater island
of constantly compromised dreams and private illusion
shot through with minor minute to minute regrets
over what was said or not - if the messages even got through
if what one did was right if such strained communication was even necessary
yet our art of love seem carefully comprised
of mutual automatic understanding and shared quality artisan italian bread from the local collective smeared with full flat cheese
we chew in intense privacy
a need to slice through pointless defenses
naked under staring scientific suns
looking out together at desolate everyday uk blandscapes
architectures of urban alienation and empty conceptual abandonment
we play together united against arbitrary aches
directly caused by constant backwater island drizzle
icy morning wind in the face on the way to work smog and slog
for you alone saved us our beautiful sweet faced darling
