So things happen

the past few days, things have happened. It's all been a big experience for me. Back in Leeds where the cool people go, driving under the depths of the heat of Leeds at Midnight, listening to Iggy Pop, windows down, dAnCiNg like an overweight Jim Morrison.

ahhhh well. BIG exhale. or was it a sigh? I'm not sure, ask a doctor. maybe I should check that out now.

it's raining outside but a blue sky overhead. could be a trick of the eye...oh no...it's coming through the window.

Look, i'm sorry it's been a while Baby. Have you missed me? You waited didn't you?

Aside >>she did she did!

So Leeds, yes yes alright guv'nor, guv'noress!

So I saw people I had not seen for a while. A return to my old uni which was surreal as half of it had been knocked down. We went to Asda to prepare for Leeds Fest. Two of the girls were going, I used to go out with one. The other, her boyfriend was her boyfriend at the time I used to see t'other one. Make sense sense make? It was weird...like old times. She's going out with someone different now...I got the spare room. It was cold and lonely. Her old room actually. Last time I slept there....sob sob. Boo hoo. In the past. Sigh.

Sat in the wetherspoons at Leeds Train station yesterday morning. I left their house in the dead of the morning, 9am. The house was still asleep. I waited, leaning against a cold wall outside, leather bag in tow, sucking on a lollipop. Mohammad Afzul...the name of the taxi driver. a really kind chap, we had a laugh...only cost me £7.

Then I wrote this...

Sleeping bags tied to packed rucks,
straps scraping against brand new green wellies.

Plastic bags out the back, pans tied to belts
bulging wallets about to be stolen
phones soon to be broken.

Sun hate, sun glasses, cute asses,
strapless tops
drainpipe jeans
lucky connies
muscles out of short checked shirts.

These are the festival goers,
whores to Kings of Leon, pendulum (i liked them before they were famous),
ting tings wallahs,
arctic monkeys junkies

Coca cola bottles with 3/4 vodka,
Rizla, bakky and other more criminal
accoutrement.

Hundreds of bags piled high
everyone buzzin
smokin
huggin

Eyes aloft, sunny day
rain expected Sat'day
Sun day on Sunday
sad day on monday
back to work on tuesday
lookin forward to wkend Friday.
Do it again

So that was an interesting few days. Back at work next week...can't wait for it!
