monologue: June 2009

Thursday, June 18, 2009

Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress.

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me

Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map

i carry your heart with me

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

All about my journey

All about London:

- Billy Elliot! Clap Clap Clap!

- Partial suspension of underground service on 9th June due to industrial action. Our line was no longer available.

- Bumped into a fucking shameless middle-aged man on the bus. In politeness we requested him to stay away from us but disturbance intensified nonetheless. I ran out of tolerance and was utterly offended. To stop him from further indecent nuisance I yelled at him “Fuck off!” He turned around, stared at me and said “Shitty” At the top of my voice I shouted “Fuck you!” as a reply. Curse him. I don’t mind losing all manners and proprieties to defend my dignity. In afterthought I was pretty scared actually.

- On 10th the underground was COMPLETELY suspended. London was pretty paralyzed then. After frustration, anxiety, exhaustion, agitation, begging, patience, intolerance, hopeful anticipation, hopeless disappointment, involuntary lateness, unpredictable delay, mishap, luck and starvations, we fortunately had not missed our flight to Venice.
