Quicksand

THERE ARE MEMORIES
THERE ARE SPACES
A CONSTANT MOVEMENT
WHICH DOOR WILL YOU OPEN?
WHERE WILL YOU RUN
POINTED GUN
COMING YOUR WAY
TEXTURED PAPER
BLOOD STAINED
YOUR IDENTITY

BE A ROBOT. BE A SOLDIER
OBEY IN FEAR
BEDROOM OF NO SLEEP
DREAMS THAT STIR YOU UP

WHEN WAS THE LINEN LAST WASHED?
THE SOUND OF BULLETS
MEDAL OF HONOUR
WHO WAS IT THIS TIME?
SHALL WE TALK ABOUT IT OVER COFFEE?

TIME FLIES
SAYS THE OPERA SINGER
WHEN DOORS ARE LOCKED
OPEN YOUR MIND
THE GRAMAPHONE KNOWS
IT KEEPS RECORD

CAMOUFLAGED
YOU DON'T SEE
THE SNIPER KNOWS EXACTLY
CHANGE DIAPERS
A GENTLE LULLABY, DISTURBED
HOW MANY TOYS CAN YOU CARRY?

LOOK OUT OF THE WINDOW
FOR A SIGNAL
SCROLL UP AND DOWN
FOR MISSING OBJECTS
PEOPLE, VOICES

THE DOOR KNOB TURNS FROM SILENCE
TO PRESENCE
YET NO ONE ALIVE.
ALL OF US IN A PLATTER
SERVED
BY SERVING
MONK OR CAPTAIN
THE BULLET SENSES NO DIFFERENCE
FRAMES OF MINDS
CRACKS ON WALLS
SEEPING

DESOLOATE STREETS
POPULATED THOUGHTS
NOTES - A REMINDER OF
ALL THAT YOU HAVE CARRIED
A FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN EXISTS
WHEN WILL IT BE YOUR TURN?

YOU HIDE BEHIND BARE BRANCHES
IS THAT ANY HIDING
YOU HIDE TO BE FOUND
TO STAND IN FRONT OF THE SNIPERS EYE
YOUR EYE
REVEALED
A WORLD OF LOSS
INEQUALITY &
GLUTTONOUS GREED

THE TYPEWRITER CAN KEEP
DOCUMENTING
THE COUNT DOWN OF HORROR STORIES
QUICKSAND
DOCUMENTS
CATALOGUES

LOOK FOR WHAT HAS NOT BEEN CAPTURED
WAR HURRIES PEOPLE TO FIND CLOSURE
HISTORY GETS MISSED OUT IN THE PROCESS
MEMORIES REMAIN!
