Velvet Wave
The velvet inside A guitar case Set the strings Giddy humming to The silver vibrations of a note A quick flowing Stream by the roadside Buzzed towards the seaside Tatoos and Torture Tents Along the shingle shore. Thin echoes of headphones Ride the murky old bass Screaming feedback At the fat lady bather A wave flaps in on itself.

Chasing The Cherry
Fragile fragments Clattering down The lavish marble staircase Tinkling smithereens Smashing, grabbing At china stars Bursting in clusters Scattering E-side cats Credit cards dropping From rain-clouds Pour down on the well-polished floor Tortoiseshell hair combs And black tape cassettes Rattle the cages of Knife-wielding grand dames And say, are you chasing the cherry?

Hot As That
As I emerge from a sandy short cut The lady jogger asks: How hot is it In there? Do you still have that house? Her male companion asks, How long do you spend here? We rent. Three weeks in summer. A fly flew off a dust dead mouse, In there. Do you see a cool man standing before you? He sweats. That’s how hot it is In there.

Paul McCartney Continues to Have a Wonderful...
Zack O’Malley Greenburg, Forbes, December 23, 2010
Christmas is still days away, but Paul McCartney has already given himself the gift that keeps on giving: The song “Wonderful Christmastime.” Released in 1979, the ditty was written, produced and performed by the knighted Beatle. He even played all the instruments himself. As a result, he receives royalties as a songwriter and performer,...

Still carrying that weight
July 3, 2004 In a revealing interview, Paul McCartney tells John Harris about his fight with Yoko Ono, the British press and what really happened at his daughter’s wedding. Prague’s T-Mobile Park is a grim place: a scrappy rectangle of land 20 minutes’ drive from the city centre, surrounded by the rusting remains of communist-era industry.
