    Alive

    That man is dead, his lips are dry
    His face collapsed
    He's a shell, that man is dead.

    This man is alive
    Until tomorrow, he doesn't know,
    So he's watching TV, killing time.

    This woman is dead
    Her skin is yellow
    Her friend is waiting for her at Costa
    She won't arrive.

    These teenagers are dead
    Upside down in a Golf GTI
    Acne and blood.

    This pig is dead, I'm cutting its loin
    With dauphinoise potatoes and
    A cabernet sauvignon.

    This pub is dead
    The piano player's swollen head
    Rests softly on the keys.

    I head for home. Stop off
    For dead fish and chips.
    Salt and vinegar
    Mayonnaise.

    The moon is milky
    And the stars are ghosts,
    I'm alive.

    For those who believe,
    no explanation is necessary.
    For those who do not,
    none will suffice.

    who am I but a stitch in time

    would you see me origami
