Wet From The Waist Down
Currently Listening To :: Act Too (The Love of my Life) :: The Roots w/Common
I'm sitting in the Union Blockhouse, and thanks to my jacket, I don't think I'm in danger of getting pneumonia after the freak random downpour of rain and hail. However, compared to Gore-Tex, denim doesn't really cut it, so my jeans are soaked. (Then again, having Gore-Tex pants is something I don't think I'd seriously consider...yet).
I was at the launch of UNSWeetened last night, the UNSW literrary journal that will also be launched this Sunday at the Sydney Writer's Festival. I couldn't think of a better way to spend a cold Monday night with friends, like minded souls, and some champagne for good measure. As promised (and as I'm feeling a tad lazy), here is my poem that somehow managed to worm its way into the journal. If you're a UNSW student, pick one up from the Union; it's a good read. If you're not, then let me know if you want one...I do good deal for you! But in the meantime, hope you enjoy...
Poetry for Pay Cheques
This city of mind is in a state of confusion,
With a widening gap 'tween the real and the illusion,
While this style may be free, the costs need to be weighed,
On the scales of life my hearts wishes are displayed,
Some think that paying both the pocket and the mind is elusive,
But why should poetry and pay cheques be mutually exclusive?
While the image of a struggling artist is romantic,
I'm slowly come to understand this life's semantic,
I've worked low paying jobs, 9-5s, 6-12s,
Leaving precious little time each day for me to delve
Deep down into this art, 'cause bills and work are due,
Other poets lose heart, writers write with no clue
that a wordsmith needs to use both left and right brain,
Know poetry and poverty aren't one and the same,
If claiming corporate and cultural riches is your goal,
Keep your eyes on the prize, but don't forsake your soul
For the power of the dollar can make the minds eye blind,
Yet it keeps the lights on, so a balance I can find...
So let the lyrical liquor soak deep into your liver,
Get you drunk and high from these words that I deliver,
Like a midwife, bringing new life into this world,
The children my mind nurtures scream loud to be heard,
For they can feed me in more ways than I can feed them,
'Cause the wealth that I get from this pad and this pen
Is far from monetary but in ways I'm still rich,
But this world speaks of money, so I can't help but switch
To a language I can use to seek gainful employment,
So I can keep righting, for the people and enjoyment
People ask me, "how you gonna help the youth out here"?
I tell them first, "by waiting for my cheques to clear".
