hang-up



Hang-up

Clothes' hangers are entangled in the basket
Hang-up can not tell
Hanga stands like 'led Rouge 'n' le Noir'
Bombed;
Julien is climbing up the ladder
In the ware-house-op-shop, camera's dark room can not click
Technology is lynched again;
AK47, Filipino and Champas and Vietcong are looking for Charlies and Gis
Self-loathing is hung up
He was guillotined for God's mercy
I smoked pot paranoided in Pol Pot's agrarian field
Pain is swift; perfume is nice
On the crutch  without a leg, Malcom X look-alike posed from the sub Sahara ¨C Footscray shopping mall
He seemed not to have any hang-up
I was rolled in Evelyn Street Redfern
Johnny Disturbed 's Holiday in Cambodia, S21 Chamber and school playground were mish-mashed
in the slum of Evelyn Street Redfern when the bats swooned  all over us
I am still hanging-in there without a hangover
