london bridge

London Bridge Station

Every day I arrive there by train. It isn’t very exciting, not a place that inspires much in the way of awe or love or excitement. But there is mystery there. KNOWN and FUME, graffiti tags repeated each time with only slight variations. I want to write my own name too. I imagine hidden messages in the words. Who would come up with a name like that? What is your line? Handwriting - spirals and flow. To know and be known.

KNOWN KNOW OWN OW

On the train I list MY FAVOURITE THINGS
Sun
Soft, clean hair
Warm under a white duvet
Reading a long interesting book
Scent of tanned skin
Watching snow fall through a large window
Buying music
Pink cowboy boots I tried on yesterday but didn’t buy
Sex with someone I really want
The Thames at night and Port Swengo in the morning
Red wine
Blue flowers in the grass
Sucking honey on toast
Catching someone’s eye I like the look of on the tube
Perfume testers
My computer
Seeing a beautiful boy folding paper
My body
Versailles
The feel of a thick, glossy magazine
A new thing
Meeting someone I like by accident or
A surprise phone call
Causing something good to happen
Just before the drums kick in
Feeling useful
Swearing at the top of my voice and then
Punching a pillow
Strong fresh coffee
My hands
Running like fuck
All is Love by Byörk
Singing with no one listening
Taking a long time
