		<description><![CDATA[the tide came in for years
and people felt warm
and unlatched their positions
drifted out to sea a little
trying to get traction in the wind
the time went out
and they fight
to keep their homes from sinking
down to the level of shoreline
and anenomies clumped to rocks
their arcane inspection of drifting particles
at first sight a handshake is more important than [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The sun rose above our heads
giving me moments to absorb its ointment
and notice your gentle breath coaxing teasing
and tugging the wandering flock of clouds now
distant as the tremble under your eyelid
settles me
to a peace
unknown in my war-torn dream-life
away from
home
- Nicholas Alexander
- 19 June 1992

		<description><![CDATA[squinting thru the smoky window
again
agonizing need for clear euphoria
I see that mountain
concealed
thru the window
that mound of dirty mud
piled higher than elephant shit
no desire to focus
dancing thru the dry iced dawn
I’ll take my study of avoidance
with one more breath drawn
and choking laughter
stinging eyed joy
correctional balancing of mind
revealing beautiful half notes
cradling the divine musical door
its wide open
hence [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mad men and muses on my screen appear
Scribes of pieces prized
texturalised justifications neutralised
lobotomized
rationalised
war-tified
Afraid that wisdom may interfere
proud
loud
common sense
blurred innocence
a lost gust of grown-up tsunami fear
awaiting for a sanctity in madness
as they cry away their tears

		<description><![CDATA[Land and Sea
The land belongs to the sea and the sea belongs to thee
The way I figure it is our ancestors came from the sea
Sure they were lizards, fat lazy old lizards but before they
walked about pushing trees over or fighting it out
smashing exoskeleton against exskeleton
- bits broke off and dust clouded our view &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Were you young or old when you exploded?
Did you have an inkling – of your shape that unfolded?
I do know not –
You had company I see
as I twirl on this wind swept crevice
Other mounts that give us bearings
more than directions in our city
Meeting places for many of past
They understand your height, your depth –
in telling [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A night out
One evening we went for a movie
It turned out to be
The usual display of
Dumb trivialities
I was bored out of my wits
Sitting in the dark
Yawning and scratching myself
We’d had a beer before so
As the movie progressed
I became restless, shifting on my seat
Dying from the need to piss
I guess I didn’t pay much attention
To what [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Of the news that continually screens along the bottom of my TV
This morning I perchanced to observe of
&#8216;Hillary Clinton&#8217;s White Hose Surge&#8217;
and I wondered
Is she about to do a Bill?
Oh for the love of a good Purge!

Gisborne to Auckland
last time I took this trip my life was never the same again
9 and a half hours
never the same
the pivotal, cathartic, life changing 9 and a half hours
of a drive
change from the drive?
or
what preceded the drive?

the full stop on “that” stage of my life

on “that” stage of my life
