“My
dad's beautiful”, she said, “he used to work for Ronnie Kray”.
She was all fur coats and shoes. I distinctly remember fucking her
and how good she looked in these pink and turquoise crocodile skin
Terry De Havilland shoes (open-toe one platform, red varnish!!).
A couple
of years later ---on Earls Court Road!!-----pissed!----- I hadn't
noticed that I was trying to catch her attention in the sweaty
gorilla suit that I was wearing, Ooh la la. I was never very Marquis
of Queens-bury.!!------A Bad boxer!!-----ME!
The crow
cawed at Tomnahurich as crow craw craw craw as usual as usual as
usual as the first wild autumn wind howled down the fault
line.!!---and the Loch Ness Ladies gathered the Peats Indoors!
Yet
everything was quiet in Eva's Royal Mews, in the KOM.
In my own
60's and 70's London I held on to a wildly prescribed gravity like a
salamander on a wall, what way was up? My own weight perplexing me,
in the sea of talent that was SoHo. I myself played a minor key in
this dope-fuelled legacy. This salamander somehow observed everything
through his slimy comEdic skin. Here was Duffy Power, Tony Serenity,
The Sweet Smell of Success (The SSS), the aroma of vanilla!
Prescription madness, very ill but fairly-well- equipped! A sponge
and a beacon on the dark side of Ladies Walk. Hitler's methedrine had
me on Lemmy's roof, I just had to survive! Salamander's are equipped
for survival, yet a fulfilled life is what I wanted. The SSS eluded
me, but I just had to hang on with Tony Serenity.
As Derek
Taylor once said----
“Being
born in Scotland carries with it a great responsibility!?”.
All very
well but no one was listening to me, a modern day Colombo, except I
was a bit more Ronnie Columba. However that's better than our
giggling screen-obsessed present day society, go figure? The thing
about your own piss is it stinks after a while!
A new
viaduct of rock n' roll ricochet is already a hard sell, but equally
so the Scottish referendum. Remember my junk is in your back yard and
it ain't going nowhere. God made Heaven and Earth, that's what way,s
up!? and Duffy Power and the Duchess of Argyll live somewhere East of
Eden, etched in a salamander's conscience.
There is
a lot of suspense in Stornoway, a lot of coffee in Brazil, a lot of
wisdom of Solomon, backwards piping with the Loch Nest Ladies
Operative. How many Germans are in Berlin? I couldn't say. When I
couldn't look after myself the London Jewish mafia looked after me !!
and there
was a cocaine frenzy in No.11 Downing Street. The autopsy (mine),
will be interesting and probably quiet. Breath in, breath out, one
day, one moment, one more shovel full of love, you fukers!!--- I'm
dying to get home.!!
I find it
perplexing, I'm perplexed to this day in fact as to how sweaty and
distressed I was in that gorilla suit, in Earl's Court road. You can
blow up a beach ball but you can't expect a salamander to survive in
that heat, its like playing badminton when you are hypnotised. So
there. This is fucking ridiculous! I've got a headache. 6 days to
go.... Is it? How could she?
“They
say only the good die young. What does that make me, a clairvoyant?”
THE
forecast However IS Durable!!! So there!!
