FESTIVAL


I mean it was a techno festival:

Teknival in the south of France

Spiral Tribe blasting it out at 123bpm

The whole site avvin it, and avvin it large

Dancing stumbling grinning gurning 

In the scorching southern sun 

Through the cool of the evening

On, on into the dawn

And back to the scorching sun

I mean it was a techno festival

The Bucket Sisters avvin it, and avvin it large

Very JD-worse-for-wear 

The dregs of a bottle in one hand

Each other’s hand in the other

Stumbling into the marquee 

Under the cover of darkness

Yelling “Turn it up! Turn it up!”

Sozzled eyes try to see

Stumbling laughing grinning gurning 

Wondering why no one’s dancing

Wondering why we can’t hear the tunes

Wondering why everyone is sitting down

I mean it was a techno festival

How did we know that they’d have

A Buddhist meditation tent?



FOUCAULT


He said he knew philosophy

But it turned out he knew Foucault

I thought he’d touched the heart of me

He said he knew philosophy

We hit it off tremendously

But finally I saw the truth

He said he knew philosophy

But it turned out he knew Foucault



The first of these poems by Lisa Lovebucket reminded me of  a Tribal NRG party I attended in the early 90's  with my friend Jonny Jedi.

The second poem reminded mevof the days when I was deep in the Kung Fu Cult
