The bus stop wait at 9.08, has it been yet or is it still coming? The air kicks by with a gust of southern chill, creeping around the wall of toughened glass I spy through. In the distance I see luminescent green lettering tower above the road and other traffic, my hand signals it to [...]

The coach is a magnet, the players are sucked into his vortex, a pack of ducks attracted to a pond, in quiet tomes he dispenses the game plan, the orders the players are to execute. A klaxon horn tells the time and the stripey referee blows a shrill whistle. The orange globe held high and [...]

Guards on a train, the rhythm of the rails silenced at the border, the smell of expired coffees on the table in front of us, the guards approaching like a storm cloud, black and menacing. They find some victims whose passport is out of order. Tears and broken Japanese/English fill the air, they are escorted [...]

I hear voices outside, it could be another lady of the night come to do business at the end of the street, but I hear a side door being opened , immediately my heart is in my mouth and beating 200 per minute, pure fear, pure adrenalin. Home alone in a rough part of town [...]

Still old enough to remember metal buckets, wheeled around by school cleaners with spaghetti haired mops that would be strangled CIA style through a punishing series of rollers, pressing together in a prayer by a heavy booted foot resting on a cantilevered bracket. These days it’s all plastic, in any sort of colour, a children’s [...]

A bakers tray of socks opens up before me, they’ve been in the oven now for a while, bundled up into hand grenade size segments, though a loose sailing sock or two appear to have become escapees, they’ve jumped the prison ship and are swimming the Thames. Theyr’e lined up like matchsticks, like kitchen cutlery [...]

Guy Fawkes failed plot to bring down the houses of parliament…..A sparkler in my hand on bonfire night November 5 , Hissing away the sulfurous orangey bright glow leads to a huge bonfire as high as I am , seemingly huge, smelling of petrol it is set ablaze and the flames lick the sky, mountains [...]

I clamber onto a wasteland of vinyl masquerading as leather, but it has a tenderised plastic feel. A slight whiff of stale tobacco air from the cigarette he was probably smoking before picking me up – they’re not allowed to smoke in the cabs now. We begin a kamikaze flight through medium traffic on the [...]

A thunderstorm of paper ripping across the room as presents are dissected by eager children, faces of wonder at what is hidden beneath the surface. I recall an Action Jackson helicopter once, picking up the box shaking it hearing the plastic contents shuffle and slide about, anticipation rising within, like a simmering kettle and then [...]

Frosty blanket mornings, a back door squeaks open and I am crunching across the frozen tips of lawn leaves, the shards of grass tinkle like glass and break as I tread leaving in my wake a series of imprints the shape of my soul. The air is chilled each breath makes a cloudy mist before [...]
