A place between places.
Neither here nor there.
Somewhere that is nowhere.
The border.
No man’s land.
Join me there.

Got a track on Warrior One’s new mix for Knowledge mag, downloadable below. It’s deeper and less bashy than his usual selections. Big up Carl for shining some light in this direction!

On Constancy
It’s constant,
Constant breathing, constant being, constant
sleeping, eating, seeking, dreaming, believing, and needing,
constantly speaking, time constantly creeping, life constantly constant,
change constantly, constant,
for all its constancy, there’s a want, a need,
for a second of stopping the seconds ticking
a want a need to press pause before someone presses stop,
and constancy is constant no more,
Of course constancy is only constant to me; it’s no more constant, than a seemingly solid reef, in a tropical sea, BUT…
The illusion is powerful, and when it’s broken unspoken truths get spoken all too clearly,
All too quickly, what was constant becomes, as constant as one brief flash, one brief crash, or one brief battle with cancer, that’s that, that is that.
For that precise moment, the constant hope of constancy goes out of an open window,
Life is transitory, and no amount of hope will stop that, but beyond that everything keeps going, time ticks whether I live, or die, it’s not my time, I’m just looking after it for a bit,
Babysitting the minutes.
They babysat the minutes too, and at one minute to, who knew the next would be the last?
The last constant beat of the heart, the last mutter of an inner monologue, the last moment to get lost in, only visiting, not stopping.
No one more cup of tea or coffee, no one more big night out, no one more drink, no one more spliff, one more verse, one more 16, one more burst of Sun Ra, as sun starts climbing over the horizon.
There is no constancy in the constant, but I will constantly miss you, until I’m not constant either.
Dedicated to Kev and Jake.
