A single event can awaken within us a stranger totally unknown to us. To live is to be slowly born.

Fever Ray, Here Before
“Once I had a child, he was wilder than moonlight. He could do it all, like he’d been here before.”
(Stranger Than Kindness, 2009)
Finance girl
One October morning,
Finance girl entered my world,
She doesn’t know it yet,
But I want to marry her.
Perhaps, that’s a large jump…
If only she knew how much -
she makes my heart skip.
I wonder what’s in her head…
Besides profit and loss,
Accrued revenue -
And Excel charts,
I bet she makes neat spreadsheets,
Tidy and precise.
I love the way she walks past my desk,
Sometimes I get shy and look away,
Sometimes our eyes meet,
And when they do -
And she smiles -
It’s the highlight of my day.
How I wish -
We could be teleported 100 miles from here,
So we can just talk,
How I wish -
I could just say hello to her.
About Me
I have a fondness for chess and vodka. I disgust myself, frequently. Love, lust, discontentment, alienation and frustration. Repeat over and again. My rent is due. My life is a seemingly allegorical set of perturbed and petrifying coincedences. I am bored. When conscious, I love drinking tea with bourbon biscuits (that's kinda wrong isn't it?) ...Alternatively bakewell tarts are my favourite cake. I love reading books and have a deep appreciation for all kinds of music. i'm interested in surrealism - the breton kind, expression through new media, graphic design, futurology and evolving technologies. i like writing poems and experimenting with food. I'm addicted to lucozade, marmalade and guilt edged cheese and black pepper muffins. I often walk around on rainy days without an umbrella. I love: watching tom & jerry, the no. 52 bus, portobello road, paris in the spring, tokyo at midnight, and spending lunchtimes in hyde park. Other than that i enjoy daydreaming and taking photographs.My favourite author is haruki murakami.
I've had a few things published.
My favourite film is blade runner.
When i was younger i loved dinosaurs.
I like cats. I'm a cat person.
I am 24.
I live in London.
What more can I say?
