A Sketch
Pall of Autumn leaves and smoke.
The machinery sings in counterpoint
To the procession's footsteps.
Aspersion drowned in a well.
Gears turning.
Children make their way to school.
A young girl with no prospects.
Damaged.
Only chemicals can make her laugh.
A cold grey snow falls.
The humming of the power-lines
Is the daughter's lullaby.
Smoke-shrouded buildings
And the girl who reminds me of them.
Exquisite sadness and beauty, with love from...
Cafe Intellect

Yes, Attack of the Beige is a very interesting but, unfortunately, little known band.
There is someone named Don in the band, he could very well be related to this blogger dotanddeb
