Kid Carl he stands,
And walks,
In a direction,
Away,
From Mong Kok,
Away from all he knows.
To Sha Tin.
The road a ribbon
Revolves under his feet.
The peripheral mountains pass by,
Amah Rock, unmanned tonight,
Observes in silent tears.
His chemically empty legs
Move like solid wooden trunks.
Each step a desperate step
To somewhere afresh.
The white lines move on
Rhythmically slow.
Mountains move by
Offering little comfort,
A silhouette against
City illuminated sky.
City lights become no nearer.
Soon The Blocks begin to pass by.
With Scattered lights.
Heads turn away;
And feet follow away.
A gentle fizzing light,
A low bass hum,
Aside,
A wall unlit by broken
Lamp
Offers a place to slump.
(the gentle fizzing light of the lazy orchid)

Post apocalyptic balcony number 10
Scattered fragments
of unnecessary wounds
lacerate the air
Around KidCarl's world
Curled in a naked wheel arch
Throbbing reality nightmare
Awakened to the world
of violence
and lack of compromise.
The slashing
and the stabbing
and the dying
slows down
as people limp
away
shouting
territorial claims
to the bare walls of the tunnel
maybe to the wounded
to the dead
to the next time
KidCarl
almost shacking
maybe so
just does not know anymore
Please the husky voice of our angel.
