Guests, Never Listed / March 7 / 2024

Morning alone on the line
Ringing Zip Zip Zip Zap
Impossible Woman's life
means I mean something.
Excuses scrubbed history,
Starched and pressed thursday
creased down the middle.

The Other Way / March 5 / 2024

Immobile clouds hovering,
other way to the channel train.
Rain falling gently,
needing a rest station stop.
Waiting and calling a day,
silhouettes drawn up, covered up, cut out Tuesday.

Out in the Crowd / March 4 / 2024

Out in the crowd - Look, take a chance, go.
Moments passing, life alarms and black birds overhead.
A mist rising, doors closing, sun beams relaying.
Monday started.
Evaporating with morning, spring arrives
Year's week nine.

Fenzeit   – February 23 / 2024

Recasting a life with Fenzeit and smack.
Gamefree dashing through half squares,
swiping flying starts - takeoff.
Ideal morning start signalled on train platform.
Recharged steps launching up and over the bridge walk.

Between the Two / February 20 / 2024

Buildings on standby - archiving by brick and colour.
Life to 47 passes by -what happened in 48.
How long do I have bricklayer?
My photos archive the bricks and colours
Will you let me write down on paper,
The story facades of today?

Conversations / February 7 2024

Informal eight Commute
full of noise and bikes;
Looselipped conversations.

by Emmy Horstkamp

This morning, I commuted to work three hours later than usual. The crowd at the later time is different. The commuters sat together and talked during the trip, a little like the early afternoon commute.

They talked about work and other things which happened the day before or that day. I heard their words while standing near a bunch of foldable bikes. Someone was talking about the bikes and saying that if the queen stood next to a bike, the person might lose the bike if she stood by a bike, the bike could possibly be hers. So if the queen was standing like I was next to his or her bike, the owner of the bike would have to wait to see if the queen walked off the train with the bike or asked him to assemble the bike and then rode off on it.

I realised after hearing this conversation that there is a little bit of risk owning things in the United Kingdom. People of the Aristocracy or the Monarchy could ruin your commuter day by just liking your bike and inferring that they want it.

I promise the universe that if I want a second bike, I will go to the store and buy it. I will never take a bike away from someone except in an emergency, and then I would pay you for it. Promise.

No crying eyes ok.
