Close Proximity


 


Census perceived 45’degreed


Too much noise deafened


Darkness to takers un-dazzled


Close proximity view hindered


Obscurity unparallel-lied


They were not within our notice


Fire escape us or we them


Intangible sense of ‘let down your hair’ repulsion


Ugly classes decayed and saddened


Effect of the un-beauteous measured and clanned


Whilst the writing hand was unfamiliar


The tensions of stern conditions categorized


Faecal bodies in close proximity acquired


Method of ‘to whom the bell’ throes inadequate


“Work it out, work it out” close proximity lucrative


Embodiment of the immigrant soul scarred character


Philosophically impotent, reduced their individual strength,


“Don’t come to your census,” and now that we mentioned, streets of scold are paved with compression, except by some analogous vigor, required occupation the Great War; to that they say, “k-k-k-krazy, ugly krazy, you’re the only w-w-w-war that we abhor; the s-s-s-sun never shines over the tenements, and we’ll all be cowering behind the k-k-k-kitchen door  . . . in close proximity as frightening as the war!”

One thing that caught my attention was how smoothely

this piece flowed, straight into the readers heart. (imo),

in essence this piece seemed to tell of how there are still those who divide themselves based on outwardly appearences, you

two did an outstanding job, blending inks perfectly.

thanks for sharing such talent, mike

Dear Tinks,

Different un-usual and very un-like the Tinka writes, good and thought provoking nonetheless. Good collaboration Tinka and Dennis.

warm hugs and love

Yes, have to agree that it is exciting to see you in another facet of yourself(ves) and maybe the exhilaration of combining forces just enables that switch with ease. Tough and edgey, but not without humility and compassion... which makes it all the more readable and powerful. Very well done to both of you. TY Kate xx

If I didn't know better Tink I would say this had been written by a young poet. A very inyaface stream of images hit us in quick succession rather like one of those avant garde short movies they show in art house cinemas.

A very interesting collaboration, Tinka. Nothing like what I usually find at your den, but stretching looks really good on you.
Take care,

Tinka this is deep and serious work and a nice change that shows your mind is capable of switching from romance to world affairs and social statements. Well done.

This is not your style Tinker, must be O'Bell's influence. Interesking, to say the least.

Frightening reality here Tinka. No one wants to know the truth but poets seek out the emotions and put it all down for some of us.
great poem.
