DIE-VISION

There are storms all over 

the world doesn't matter who what where you are.

Driving the Dublin 

to Belfast route

 Driving the Dublin to Belfast route

with New Order on the radio. 

How should I feel today, blue 

It's Monday and I'm in love,

Pulled into the layby to hear new 

sound new order.

A beige mini on a lonely road, nothing

will ever be the same, punks dead

and gone.  What do I do now? 

should I stay or go? I shifted into

first hesitated unclutched, things

were beyond me.

Indicated left onto the slipstream.

Switched off the radio drove home

to IT records just off Union street

by the divide. Mechanics institute.

The division was in the head, non-

sense. I needled that void and played

it out, the black vinyl became blue.
