the cat and the wire
and so one night neath the moons pale light the pair each made a wish,
to the ghosts of the past made of dark ectoplast who roamed a distant dark sphere,
armed with a hook and a book and an ancient old rook that they kept in a rusty old cage,
together they sought with a compass they bought for the fiefdom of the sage.
for a year they did search behind willow and birch for a river or a lake,
for some food to eat, be it sour or sweet and their hunger for to slake,
but although they did seek, week after week not a crumb did they catch,
and the cat it did fade and the wire degrade beneath a cottage made of thatch.

New Project
Pictures of a City
(Fripp/Sinfield)
Concrete cold face cased in steel
Stark sharp glass-eyed crack and peel
Bright light scream beam brake and squeal
Red white green white neon wheel.
Dream flesh love chase perfumed skin
Greased hand teeth hide tinseled sin
Spice ice dance chance sickly grin
Pasteboard time slot sweat and spin.
Blind stick blind drunk cannot see
Mouth dry tongue tied cannot speak
Concrete dream flesh broken shell
Lost soul lost trace lost in hell.
The above lyric is from King Crimsons 1970 album ‘In The Wake of Poseidon’.
I think that this is a candidate for Krome Alchemy AND discharge 2.
My storyboard idea…
1. Concrete cold face cased in steel
Stark sharp glass-eyed crack and peel
High rise block. Tenement tower. London. Desolate. Rubbish strewn around. Dark background. Brittle light foreground. The text should be like a ransom note. Sort of cut and paste from newspaper print. Almost punk like.
2. Bright light scream beam brake and squeal
Red white green white neon wheel
A profusion of traffic lights and beletia beacons. Like a forest maybe. Also car lights and the headlights and rear lights of cars. Collage type pic? Garish in colour and tone.
Again text as before.
3. Dream flesh love chase perfumed skin
Greased hand teeth hide tinseled sin
This may prove a difficult proposition as you may have to kerb crawl!!!!
Women in tasteless garb. Thighs in minis. Plastic sex on legs. Gangs of women on street corners. Lots of neon signs in background. Maybe a toothpaste type smile somewhere in there?
Text as before.
4. Spice ice dance chance sickly grin
Pasteboard time slot sweat and spin.
Lots of neon signs. As in the famous shots of Tokyo and New York
Text as before.
5. Blind stick blind drunk cannot see
Mouth dry tongue tied cannot speak
A garbage can full of empties? An empty bottle laying dead on the pavement? A drunk on a bench or street? A bunch of hoodies drinking outside an off license?
Text as before
6. A city of your design based on London using London photos. Make it look as though it is cracking up and falling into a very large pit but not so any pit is visible just the way the buildings are all leaning as though about to tumble.
over to you!...
