tock tick tock tick

Sept 21
4am finished - tired
drop off Shabiri - mud track - narrow lanes - houses crammed - surreal shantyshacks as wild dogs bark then in packs chased car.
on - dog-tired - blur past people walking (exercising?) at 415 with cane and stix on deserted roads of a stinking comatose city lit by the moon and an occasional streetlight flicker, and on - more faces frown as switched on by the headlights, then off again in a moment as we careen past on rain soaked roads past litter shit + roadkill - on + on, closer + closer To home; Bed; Sleep.....

Wake; Tired; 11am; towel-suncream-sundeck; 30c; Gazza biography finished - memory of a Saturday in '96 with J + Shave + Billy 'cast + Bogroll + Beer + That Goal + Joy. Try to think if i ever saw Gazzza play live & draw a blank - Shame; genius 10th Dan Black-belt Grandmaster of the game = Legend.

Gittar riff's Am to Em to C - 4pm tired; bed; sleep; darkness - wake-eat-crashtestdummydrive-now wide awake-work.......

Today's Malayalam as provided by MAD driver (what was i thinking talking to him when all his concentration should have been on LOOKOUTFORTHATBIKECARDOGRICKSHAWLORRYBUSPOTHOLEMANWOMANCHILDCAT):

maya - rain
suryen - sun
chundren - moon
valuthe (vallootay) - big
cherathue - small
