My People

see What Is Normal? by Simon Critchley

All I know about My People

Is that they’re from somewhere far north

Migrated from somewhere far east

Descended from somewhere far above

Like us all

We’ve forgotten our powers I’m afraid to say

Here we go

Electrical immersion into sultry summer heat

Plug me in to this base bass line beat

Instant colour shape line rollercoaster ride

Madness, I have my seat

Flood our empty echoing beckoning halls,

Memory and mind

We have never been so alive

and so open before

We are dancing and f*cking in our freedom to access

The darkness inside

All we need is a little nudge and we’ll move

Closer to the door

Because we probably don’t care anymore

And we no longer have to hide
