		<description><![CDATA[I was in the public toilets at the station. When in the bright strip-lighting I saw the mirror image of myself. It stopped me in my tracks. At first I didn’t recognise it as me. Not exactly. I stood, momentarily, and studied it. It was a cold looking image. A pale unfeeling face with still [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The neighbour’s dog was whining in the night again. Its melancholy dog-song echoed around the houses. It woke Joe Fuegi up. He hadn’t made it into bed. Throughout the evening he’d consumed a whole bottle of Johnny Walker Red Label in front of the TV, and when he woke up the TV channel was on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[eyes hollow
as two smoke ring halos
exhaled from the muzzle
of a double barrel shot
gun
burned out
on a diet of cigarettes
&#38; crack with
drawal
amber streetlights
torn stockings
lipstick &#38; hairtrigger
orgasms
touching the crucifix
around her neck
she says
the only way out
is stone cold
dead
or by divine miracle
but she knows
that isnt going to happen
because god
just doesnt pay the rent
that way

of a corner café
there is no release
from the monotony of grey
november streets
scarred with the contortions
of so many desolate lives
&#38; starvation is a dish best served cold
when the only things that ever alternate
are traffic lights &#38; corporate ad
campaigns
because nothing changes in times
when the revolution wont even make headlines
&#38; in actuality less likely
in view [...]]]></description>
