stephen patrick morrisseys evil twin smoke lingers
'round your fingers
trying to heave on to Euston
and do you think you've made
the right decision this time

you left
your entire family grieving
and you think
they're sad
because you're leaving

but did you see
the jealousy
in the eyes
of the ones
who had to stay behind

and do you think
you've made
the right decision this time

you left your girlfriend
on the platform
with this really
ragged notion
that you'll return
but she knows
that when he goes
he won't be coming back

and do you
think you've made
the right decision this time

emmi there's a strange thing about london.
i hate it when i'm here.
i love it when i'm gone.
i miss the tube and the dirty air and the parks and the crowds and the cold benches at south bank and the rain.

like it's home but not really.

it reminds me of ...when i'm travelling somewhere far. and i have a stopover. it feels like that airport terminal where my connecting flight is delayed.

stork daddy it's a beautiful city,
wouldn't it be more beautiful burning though?
perhaps it's grandest moment was when the romans considered it a lark,
when londinium did not loom over the rivers, but vice versa.

wouldn't st. paul's spire,
glow like a hot iron,
trying to sodder the city to the sky?
no city seems truly inhabitable
until it's been pressed by nazi bombs,
until even the infidels
clamor for access,
to destroy, to make their own.

london is beautiful, but it must be destroyed. it leaves us nothing left to explore, it distracts us from the sky, and it makes a dirty river seem wise.

london is beautiful, but outdated,
the core of civilization,
let's burn it and flee,
float off like smoke,
her majesty finally chalked up as fuel,
london i'm leaving you.

if it survives infidels like me, born not of it, but of its it,
then humanity has chosen its face.

paper*wings lovely.

funny haired boyish men. hip chicks with cute shoes, architecture to die for. a trip that left more in my heart than it did my pocketbook.
thoughtful and tedious rides on the tube. or should i say "choob"
windsor's beauty, china town at piccadilly circus.
saint pauls atmosphere of glory and the reverence found at westminister abby.
taking the picadilly line everynight back "home" to our hotel in hammershith. the words just electrify the tounge. said with such staccato they seem to sparkle.
history. art. innovation. romance. but it all goes to bed at eleven. unless you're at the clubs where all the american losers go to pick up other tourists who pretend to be british and try to fool them with their suave accents.
london is swiftly becoming my love. oh the dirty river which is actually "clean", the tate, the tube *again*, ben, jack the ripper, SIGMUND FREUD! ANNA FREUD! GOLDERS GREEN CREMATORIUM! brit rock. portabello street markets, the j20 mango and apple juice. all the creepy little heads about the historical buildings. the roadmasters! the people "doing the knowledge" les miserables, ROD STEWART THE MUSICAL! lol. Morrissey. who REALLY cares about the beatles? when there were the smiths? haha. round-abouts bond, james bond. the london eye. the millenium bridge, Tower bridge, the real london bridge which is mysteriously in ARIZONA?!?!?! the cozy pubs, *though i was the only one drinking my j2o* long flights, too many papers to write upon my arrival home. crazy new haircuts! a million and a half PURPLE SHIRTS on men. wishing i could call one of the "flat's to let" and let one. alfred hitchkocks "rear window" and the TEA! *melt's into oblivion* oh if only my wallet could bear the burden of another ticket eastward bound to the london underground.

HairThief I am quite proud at how well we've coped with this, I'm not saying it's on the scale of 911 and wouldn't try to compare but from what I've seen the London emergency services, public, news companies and even politicians have deal with this incident very well.

oldephebe Geez. I second doar's and z's comments only i can't put it as well. The whole pun thing though...either i'm a little obtuse or defensive ro safely secure and innure in my patriotic pro-bush stance and feel entitled, that we as americans feel entitled as anation in drawing the rest of the worlds ire and contempt to help that cognitively impaired millionaire hillbilly finish what his dad abandoned and it has nothing to do with 9/11.

so dannyH and u-24 and the rest of the british blatherers my heart, my corrupt culturally sclerotic heart goes out to you.

i almost wrote blashphemers instead of blatherers.

i guess that's my christian, my morally outraged culturally hegemonic (props to amika amoi) christian fundamentalism is ...fagedit

waaay too mired in the contentious quagmire of competing discourses, that is if the said competing discourses are deemd by whoever to be products of equal and yet divergent cognitive engines....cause there are some here that do NOT think of thier participation in a disputaion or defense or critical exploration or expurgation or expedition into the wilderness of anothers tragically held position to be worthy of thier serious contemplation...blah...how'd i get here?

so London.

my prayers and heart go out to you all.

you were the only country in europe that stood as a bulwark against hitler...no one questions the resolve, and tenacity of the british people

it used to be a place where I lived ..
many many good times
...
it has now become a holiday destination..
a place to catch up with old friends
..good memories
but the world has many things to offer..
i can not imagine myself living in one place forever..
i can not learn and grow
or uderstand people and places if i am stuck in one place for too long
i do miss the stability of it in some ways
but i have to move and change and grow
