Outside Inside.

Outside Inside

Theres a reflection
on the inside
in side these walls
a ghost stands
on the outside
in the middle
of the tide
standing still
on the pavement
picking up a bag


Outside is rolled with inside
thanks to an open door
its like looking forward
and seeing behind
but more front and back
combined to form something new
two shadow
mirror world


Behind the counter is
the zurich bank
way back
across the road
on the inside
far away on the outside
if i stepped
backwards
looking forwards
would i go through
the counter
across the road
and into the bank


Whats more real
the reflection
standing inside outside
or the solid bodies
that step through
the door
to become reflections
standing waiting
for food
from the counter
outside
in the warmth
on the inside


Ghost, reflection, next please sir, next please, shoals yellow red, warping into moon light, the tide, cant see the ghosts of mirror world but they are here they are real; so real another one comes inside then leaves gaining shape in a body outside


do you ever notice how everyone in here
looks like there out there


Hungry in a chicken shop
the smells
crisply slide from
the bag
the cardboard grease
im hungry
but ive chose
no money
so i guess
i cannot eat
theres a bike behind a bin
through the window
stamped on top
is a man in a blue hat
who every so often turns
into a signpost
a reflection of a ghost
eating chicken
blocks him
a reflection
taking away
a refelction
hes back
the man in the hat
on the bin
serving chips
and chicken
to reflections
that pay
greasy crispy bag
hes gone again
all thats left
is the black bin
the black signpost
the black bike
and the bank


The reflections are cooking right
in the middle of the road
vampires frying with
traffic lights
micheal jacksons
thriller army
chicken playing shadows
outside on the inside


Ever notice how everyone out there
looks like there in here


Once upon a time a ghost sat inside looking outside
at a ghost sat outside looking inside
this machine
