How easy to dismiss the five O’ clock alarm
and avoid by any means the next round of sentry duty,
how easy to roll your eyes, ignore the sound and keep calm
and once more doze in the arms of your chosen daily beauty?
How easy to dispense with the sound of a ticking bell,
the manipulative upstart of the daily uphill steep incline,
the kick starter which places you in Hell
and the sapper of strength, the dispenser of never ending decline?
How easy, I am never sure!

The 20th Century is littered with the notion of celebrity, arguably even more so in the image conscious/obsessed world of the 21st Century. As time moves on though, that celebrity becomes more about wanting to be known rather than what for and more importantly what you are willing to take a stand for and willing to sacrifice over. How many people, how many modern day celebrities would stand firm in the eye of the American public and be resolute against the evil that the McCarthy Hearings, America’s political low point at the time, were setting out to destroy for example? For a handful of men and women, notably Arthur Miller and his dramatic response in the exceptional The Crucible and Paul Robeson, a man ahead of his time but a true trailblazer in the fight for equality in the lives of Black Americans, stand out.

Brighton has many things to be proud of, it is the untarnished jewel on the U.K.’s South Coast, the place in which places itself neatly between the extremes afforded the other towns and cities that run between Dover and the start of the unseen fifth country of the U.K. Cornwall. From its wonderful liberalism that many flock too with open arms to some of the architecture and art, Brighton is perhaps seen as the Liverpool of the South and in Dani Wilde, the Blues has perhaps their biggest hero in that part of the world.

When Sometimes becomes an occasion, then it takes on a completely different meaning. As Sometimes is oft to do, the spirit of it can quickly transform in to a full blown opportunity, from the odd visit from a loved one to your door, to the day in which the occasion is celebrated with a mutual pact of understanding and genuine affection, Sometimes can manifest and transform into an occasion.
The paint is wet but that does not mean the words on the walls,
written with leisurely pursuit, are wrong.
What was the bitter pill you swallowed to lose the most feminine of truths,
the art of compassion and consideration
for all you serve, or is the serving just for self advancement
the chance to take one for the team by bending over
backwards in the fawning style of a clown, a quick one in
the castle
lobby as you will be remembered for the death and suffering of many.

It was once said in the time of Prince February, the shortest
ruler with the meanest of dispositions, that Tiresias once exposed
the fallacy of droplets of Poseidon’s tears
outnumbering the grains of sand felt between the blue eyes of the tired
and miserable and multiplied
by the grains of sand felt beneath the hooves of the far flung desert camel.
February tossed this so called joke aside, as he wished he could
have done to Tiresias with his all-knowing twinkle in his eye.
“Absurd”, February was prone to mutter loudly as he paced the halls

There are always rumours of musical life existing in some parts of the U.K. that would perhaps come as a surprise to some who regard the big city, be it Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow, Oxford, Liverpool, Derry or Swansea to be the be all and end all of musical contribution to the lifeblood of existence.

At times in life, a diversion is needed to take the subtle agony of the daily grind away, a sense of humour keen and required to withstand even the most arduous of days and if not for love, humour would have no way of being reigned in from being nothing more than cruel and absurd.

Some pieces of literature are perhaps arguably not intended to be envisigned in anything other than cinema’s light, some perhaps are so sensitive that to try and show that singular emotion on the stage is to invite crass remarks and tactlessness in return.
