city living, i see a man that’s hit his limits pictured within an underpass the world moves too quick to witness this is england, post-Brexit. no help is in sight selfishly minding our own business with our heads in our timelines forgetting how finite we are. or how short that our time is walking on mindlessly by, temporary as the drawings behind us scrawled on the writers block. our once colourful pasts slowly dull into abject obscurity. fading to illustrious black no longer the canvas we were back in the days we revered a grey steeled appearance rests below our paint-peeled veneers it used to make me so cheerful, but now i hate being here. this place feels so weird nowadays. I barely recognise everywhere in sight, i mean where’s the sense of pride gone? it’s empty as the dialogue of friends becoming bygones resentment of the time lost but not the memories that I’ve got derelict and whitewashed buildings were our canvases to paint handing our creative minds a rite of passage that we sprayed cans would rattle as we shaked them. now fiends are rattling as they shake crack still in its base form, spoon basking in the flames hand beneath it waving a lighter til the matter separates hear the crackle of its vapour, bubbles gather as they race a single flash illuminating the dark habits that they face crack addicts have no shame, but even they still answer to their names and the man you see portrayed here isn’t some random passing stranger it’s actually my neighbour. I didn’t know him well but knew him enough stupid as fuck, married with two kids before screwing it up choosing the drug route. using a crutch to escape from lifes reality tryna balance being a responsible parent in the face of untimely tragedy downward spirals gather speed as they build up momentum filling the head with dark thoughts despite your realest intentions it’s a progressive slope where no end is in sight until you’re as empty inside as the subway where he spends every night black tar heroin bites hard, finds marks embedded in spite the gentle respite of nodding off narcotics with his head to the side expressionless eyes shut. why look with no exit in sight desperate times see a discarded chair become his bed for the night polyester pulled tightly around him. he hasn’t slept for a while. temperature right below zero before the first few seconds of light are beckoning brightly. cold as the concrete steps where he lies pedestrians smile as they amble past having kept it polite but he’s already dead in their eyes. an outcast swept to the side they never give eye contact, just stare at their destined horizon hope everything’s fine with themselves, purse held ever so tight fearful to fend for their lives while forgetting his plight soon as the subways entrance arrives. he’s gone and forgotten as obnoxious a problem as the graffiti found lost at the bottom none of them stopping to appreciate the story beneath it most ignore it completely rather than admiring all of its genius i saw past the tawdry appearance that greeted me today started speaking to my neighbour. hated seeing him this way picked his seat up off the pavement and i set it to the side looked directly in his eyes til I could tell he recognised me he started welling up inside, i took the scruff of his jacket stood him up back against the wall before he hugged me and thanked me hungry and famished, lent him an ear to tell me his struggles when you’re in trouble it takes a friend to show you lights at the end of the tunnel
