The Journey of an Artist


Walk to Ramsgate station but be careful when crossing the roads

Do not let the decay of the town depress you as things will change

Buy a newspaper and a bottle of water as the air is fresh humid

Bring your mask but do not wear it as you a double vaxxed WASP boy

There is a choice of trains left and right Choose Life Choose Dover as it is the prettier route

Sandwich Deal Walmer Martin Mill and then views to the sea free sea free sea

Folkestone x 2 rural Kent bucolic Kent – The Garden of England (true)

Sad sandwiches sold in Sandwich are for sale Peter Purchase is the train manager

He loves Sarah Smith from Southend softly from afar

Ashford International France is so very near but so far blame the rest of the world

Time to read the newspaper – WOKE this CORRECT that how I hate the malignant LEFT

Thoughts of The Disappeared in Argentina pass through my mind but we are all the children of GOD

And I love GOD and hopes he/she loves me

Organic Buddy Holly

Marigolds and Green Glasses

Is the name of my latest work which hangs in my studio in Mar/Rams GATE

Stratford International a brutalist masterpiece LOVE LOVE LOVE

One day I will alight there and enjoy the super trains screaming through the station

I am due to meet John and Tracey at St P St P just John and Tracey you and me

The air is filthy I miss the sea air but will return later in the day after the meeting fleeting meeting

I paint for money nothing else I take commissions and prostitute my talent and at 30 am already a failure

But we all fail in different ways

I am happy very happy

But fooled by the bright toys

That surround my blurred reflection
