Poetry - 2001

a reading for Dillian Ryan by Lloyd Godman

the fizz point

Within the place of culture lies a deeper space,
Compressed to fizz point, maxed in a fusion of adrenalins
Mixed in a passionate cocktail of life blood
An alien heat, a deep space mission with no code name
(Nassa never sanctioned this one baby,)
Where the ethos draws away form the old rules
Ignores the predetermined manners of past men
And minor maggots
Where culture invents itself

The evolution of new culture lays a deep base of hardpack
From experiences hard earned
 amid the empty speights tinnies,
Deep tracks,
blood stained snow,
infinite rotation of CDS,
the swipe of credit cards,
the jaggered edges of man, plastic and rock

where big air means more than a deep breath on a hospital bed

A solid base where the powder can build deeper and deeper
For  years after and those who continue and those who follow

Sick man real sick
 

Its like carvin tracks on moondust  in springtime
