Placeless places and wastelands
of dreams and hopes, meaning and memories.
Sheltered utopia and dystopia
in abandoned idealism.
Neither, here or there,
inside or outside,
nor utopian and real,
nor dystopian and fake.
Shadowlands of our past-selves,
broken and built - on holiday.
A dislocation and disruption
of our everydayness.
A reservoir of imagination,
both utterly mundane
and utterly extraordinaire.
Everyone is in the known,
yet nobody has the faintest clue.
Informed by our own fictionality,
yet we demand reality.
Passengers and prisoners
of longing to belonging.
A darkness of bright colours.
A playground of changing tastes and idealised pasts
inside working presents.
We are,
The Out of Season (a luxury commodity).
A social commentary about fake altruism within hyper capitalism. How the political elites use the downtrodden as a tool to promote their fake empathy, thus commodify their subjects for self-interested profit.
