Set 2
* Grey Water * Adult Hands * Machine Winnings * Wired Beauty
Grey Water - Steve Coel
Here -
Where...hollow buildings shadow painted movement..
Where...decaying plastic childhood lies perched on slopes of tall decaying tree..
Where...repaired jigsaw roads wait for seasonal pacing and frosty morning..
Where...starched wrinkled skin sticks to stretched bone..
Where...daily trauma functions alongside passing rumour..
is the place language comes to die.
Adult Hands - Steve Coel
Here -
Where...sponsored imagination drains away through rusting pipe..
Where...illegal plastic high releases urgent stammered step..
Where...solitary private glass is windowed in shoddy single drinking room..
Where...stolen adult hands are nailed..
Where...blow factory wall rags by-pass toughened water..
is the place language comes to die.
Machine Winnings - Steve Coel
Here -
Where...failure becomes a habit..
Where...values are challenged and always disputed..
Where..machine winnings replace job prospects..
Where..happiness is solitary, forgotten and distant..
Where...teenage anger lasts long into retirement..
is the place language comes to die.
Wired Beauty - Steve Coel
Here -
Where...drowned road happiness is traded for pennies..
Where...beauty is inked into loose skin..
Where...shop door dispute is hostel knuckled..
Where...salted air breathing is painful reminder of loss..
Where...wired thought becomes backroom industry..
is the place language comes to die.
Half Stolen Buildings, Steve Coel
