I don`t want to
sound redundant but I love this cut & paste, black & white, photocopied,
monthly zine (five pages this time around). Let`s start with the `cynical and
drunk` poetry department. Favorite pieces this time around
are
Old
guard
Most of the old
faces
Have
gone;
Payment for the
way
We have chosen to
live.
Ahead of
me,
I see a long and
lonely road.
Then,
As the new
regulars arrive,
I
laugh,
Realizing that I
am
One of the old
guard now;
A
relic,
Hanging on
by
The skin of my
teeth.
And for
what?
And
The digital
revolution
Living in the
age
Of the digital
revolution
Is
crazy.
I write this poem
on a smartphone
As people around
me stare at laptops
And
e-readers.
It all still seems
like sci-fi to me,
But everything
around it is the same;
The same old
weezing public transport,
The same old
prejudices,
The same old dull
and dying world.
We are dinosaurs
with shiny toys,
Blindly pawing our
way
Towards
extinction,
And
finally
Absence
As you sip a
beer
Somewhere else in
the world,
I mourn your
absence;
Although the last
few
Times I saw
you,
You were even
then
A thousand miles
away.
Simply beautiful.
There`s our regular articles, like`13.82 billion years of hell ` (this
time around Gary Simmons some music reviews), and `doctor
Thornaby` (easier to understand after my eight beer). Nice short story
(tourist) from our editor, Mark Ritchie. There is a nice selection
of music and book reviews as well. Contact:
