Carry the Wisdom

Giants, Snakes and Dinosaurs

A tale about the silent underbelly of little English towns at night.





STANLEY BOCKSTETH



Jenny was a pretty one

Jenny was sweet.

Sent out to walk in

the neon streets.

Where the dead play cards

with broken shards.

Of a window where

the widows sit.



Golden teeth

and army scars

prop themselves up

at the midnight bars

SGT. Berrington

recounts the time

that the bombers took 

his men.



It's all broken cars

failed movie stars.

Scraping up the pennies

for a few strong jars.

All these ghosts in here

are stowaways. Away!



And it's all upside down

in this northern town

have you ever noticed

how the little children 

frown. 

Stanley Bocksteth

killed a man on kingston

lane.



Now the blood still flows

from a broken nose.

St. Christopher lost

on the cobbled stones.

Beggars steal the coins

from the fight.



Sally was a pretty one

Sally was sweet

sent out to walk in the 

killing streets

where the ghosts of men

count back from ten.

And the street kids

sharpen carving knives.

Mothers scream

and children dream

of fathers who have fled

the scene.

Shadows cast

their nightmares

on the wall.



It's all broken cars

failed movie stars.

Scraping up the pennies

for a few strong jars.

All these ghosts in here

are stowaways. Away!



And it's all upside down

in this northern town

have you ever noticed

how the little children 

frown. 

Stanley Bocksteth

killed a man on kingston

lane.
