Mountain Schmountain

Alpenglow (Demo)

Through a thin pane of shaking glass, the butterflies hear you arrive with your unruly class and, to keep them in line, claim I might not invite you back next year – but it's fine. Besides, I fixed all the porcupine spines that they broke last time and reintroduced the snow goose that I know you liked. You used to say it was creepy parading past the trophy heads, it almost felt like being watched. Now the buffalo rolls his eyes as you go to stroke his nose and I say it's alright. And the hawk holds her wings in an unsubtle hint to do something; anything. But I might just stand lifeless right here by the fallow deer – matching unnatural stances and looks of untameable fear – until, faced with raised hands for a skua feather souvenir, I know I've let home time draw too near.

Unnatural Stances – Demo

Sets out the seats to the screams of a semi-automatic coffee machine. The needy bursts of steam, pleading hard for the arms of its other half, cement what she said to her friends last night - that "this isn't a fallback, it's me. It isn't a fallback, it's me". From piecing together the scraps of conversations had as she clears up, she has a formidable artillery of travel facts - checks her geography on an otherwise unused franchise charity map and whispers "this isn't a fallback, it's me. It isn't a fallback". Who says that there's no sense of pride in rehearsing things until they're always right, when she's falling in to her apartment at night? Surprises the sports fans with scores and player stats and startles the lawyers with wilderness preservation acts and says "it's not that I'm not ambitious, it's the opposite, I aim to always do what I love to do best. And this isn't a fallback, it's me. It isn't a fallback, it's me. It's all that I wanted to be, it isn't a fallback, it's me".
