about the conspiracy of landing on a rock –

no one wanted communists on the moon –
I read that people only buy souvenirs to remind themselves of places they’ve been –
the last gig i went shock my organs about inside – my ears rang for 24hours causing a temporary feeling of vertigo – I fell down twice – no one offered to pick me up – they gave me a wide berth and pointed – I heard whispers –
they will be the first band on the moon –

over time all graves become empty –
all graves disappear –
and buildings will be built on the dead and their DNA will seep into offices and carpets and their ghosts will haunt the computers and they will never show up on x-rays –
they will always be invisible –
deep down you know this –
always pressing forward as there are no roads back – no u-turns here

Normans mother owned a gun called Clyde

Norman’s mother’s gun, CLYDE, is very famous
her husband purchased it from R. Neville, a military chap
R. Neville was a rather special military fellow
he was a prisoner of war in Japan during WW2
his prison camp was near the Mitsubishi factory
that the Nagasaki atomic bomb visited
R. Neville and a large number of prisoners survived
it was totally impossible but it was strangely so
you would never know R. Neville ever existed
had it not been for his outspoken views on UFOs
seems he had inside information about abductions
and US government involvement with flying saucers
and the curious beings inside them
anyway, on one of his famous white clothing tours
R. Neville found himself in need of cash money
Norman’s father traded money for the gun
the gun was CLYDE
LikeLike
surrounded by endless questions
how did the entourage survive ?
light colored clothing
behind masonry walls
the choir of virgins
that sang over the prisoners
jubilation in a landscape of destruction
the prisoners were marked
for future UFO activities
R. Neville perceived himself
as a passive sufferer
a guinea pig
for big heads
or worse
LikeLike
the earth R.Neville occupied was full of churches, ravines, shops, magazines and from up there
way up there they watched and it was still a motionless still blue
the pyrotechnics of the war turned the blue to ochre,
red,
orange and they came closer to inspect
R.Neville and Clyde were on their radar – stooges of intergalactic conspiracies
the other prisoners were just bystanders, pit part players used to validate the myths – he survived as he was part of something bigger
the government will deny all of this
LikeLike

R. Neville spoke many times of the Sex Church
it must have seemed so far away from the prison camp
2 buildings at the mouth of the harbor
only a few miles from the atomic blast
R. Neville never actually saw the flash
he was busy stroking a Japanese moustache
there was always plenty of stickwork for an open mouth
R. Neville was an extremely handsome man
even straight men found him pleasing
while other prisoners were working underground
or being tortured in ungodly ways
R. Neville would bathe and shave
and then perform peculiar/robust sex acts
on Japanese soldiers and military personnel
their sticks tasted like pepperoni
and their holes like green persimmons
