\nVILLAGE OF MY MIND<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n\u00a9Trev Teasdel, Coventry May 1969<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nOh the sun doesn\u2019t shine, in the village of my mind<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd the doors never open in the palace of my heart<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd the walls to be broken of the shell of my soul<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd my kaleidoscopic eyes are hidden by houseflies.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nOh the coalsheds of my nostrils are where I spend my days<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd the voices of the walls bellow through my ears<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd my thoughts are a dustbin, dusty and unhealthy.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
And I am the steam train engine, <\/span>and life is the railway track.<\/span><\/div>\n
And my friends are hollow drainpipes,<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
And my illusions they are diamonds,<\/span><\/div>\n
Made of melting ice.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

\nHappiness is a word I can not comprehend,<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
\nIf experience is understanding,<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
\nThen this word has no meaning for me..<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nOh my years are speeding boats racing \u2018cross the water<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd I hide in the safety of the tastebuds of my tongue.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd I peer frequently through the gaps in my incisor teeth<\/span><\/div>\n
\nTo see the sun shining on the carnival outside.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\nI am the anchor of my ship<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\nI am the handbrake of my car<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\nI am the roots of my tree<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\nI am the bolt across my door<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\nBut if I am to be happy<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\nI must eject myself from the airplane of my present life.<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
