Alchemy of the Quotidian

What Pipes Dream of , November 2008, J Bowring
I drew a line,
I drew a line for you,
Oh what a thing to do,
And it was all yellow.
(From 'Yellow', Coldplay, 2000)

  1. Dreams of any kind (pipe or otherwise) are always good. I say necessary, even. Besides who's to say whether
    your dream is the 'pipe' kind. Or the other.

  2. Or whether, in fact, pipes dream at all...

  3. they do dream...


    suspended in time and place
    shackled medieval style
    to a soviet concrete wall
    stammering shrill to none all winter
    dripping nasally through bleak summers
    this pipe dreams ahead to its time as a Cobra
    dreams of striking
    feeling venom surge
    then sunning, stone drowsy
    against warm adobe.
