A ragged man passing Stansted Airport.
Robots of death. Legions of those descending blindfold into hell. Maybe not blindfolded but blinkered. Those who can only look ahead. Not aside. Their heads are restricted in neck pulling them along the totemic ridged. Glassy eyed these are slaves who never will see until they are at the gates. Even then I think they'll choose to continue into the centre of hell where Satan's waiters and waitresses will pour pure vengeance. This is not it. This is not the answer to that obtuse equation; this was not meant at all.
The complete package: fucking Daily Mail or Telegraph, Hello and OK - our thoughts to be controlled inside a Boeing 747-800 At 38,000 feet nothing exists at all. All memory. All past or future must be seen to be an illusion, but they bring us back with their capitalist pursuant.
Escape lounge, Steven goes off to buy stuff in duty free like a lamb to the stone and half attempts at women crack open Champagne: it is 7:13 am - where is your real brain, reason, wit or do these Doe's gallop to which ever salt lick they are grasping? Flight is delayed. Time is stopped for a little while longer. But in eternity there is no time.
The day began for me at 4am, hanging about in Harlow (very) International Hostel - a place put aside for Russians, Poles, Latvians, Slovakians as they turn every anti-screw in their slave like minds. Just wait for this capitalist screwing up to scream in its awakened breath 'what have I become?'
Steven retreats to "Sony Walkman" mode now that London and the south east has gone away. It seems that our hosts didn't know this flight was scheduled today. I suppose someone forgot to check the final box in the flight spreadsheet at Ryanair HQ so we were an hour and a half late leaving the cattle corral of gate 48. With strength we waited right until the final few intrepid passengers stood into the slow funeral march to the cabin; trying to keep the pressure down from the boiling point the plane was in until we disappeared into the Sun. We've climbed to maximum ceiling and the crew come amongst us with ten thousand things; again - every time they fly they have to go through this evil routine.
A little turbulence as I realise I've seen the air stewardess on a previous flight. Romanian. European melting pot in the skies above Luxembourg.
