hongdae

The steady flow of human traffic contrasts the bumper squared

Like waves crashing against a washed up whale carcass-

Though seemingly motionless-

In time its remnants will disperse

Its snaking network masks an arachnid’s web

Barflies scattered without uniform make acquaintance with silky residue of spun innards.

As the moon fights the sun into submission

The wide-eyed spiders hastily devour the barflies till their bellies rupture with drunkish delight-

The gluttonous spiders then spew the bile back to the streets only for them to find entrapment again.

I have only been introduced to the park as of recent- though have already have forged a tight bond. A glimpse at life in a state of rawness- students and merchants selling their bodies in the form of art and mind- unspoken disputes, jealousness, angst and fevered glairs ricochet between stands battling for sales( though all that is witnessed are smiles, dandelions, and giant lollipops)

I too have taken homage in this zoo

A battalion of performances spread between

Funky Funky, Club Sensation, and Free Bird

Each night paraded by foreign eyes and locomotive bodies.

An exchange of fluids for a thousand words

Conquest of pen and voice

We’ve held torches and set flame to the stage as the crowds unified body writhes and melts

Hookah sessions and Hoegardens

Enclosed in a harem of pillows

Cheap fix

Lemon remix/soju

Black stout 7-11

Misunderstood bouncers

Backwards owners 80’s bar

Lost piece of Amazon

Jane’s groove

Korea to Canada and back

My head feels naked Tin Pan

Ordering Gin on the rocks

2500 won full glasses Ho Bar

Kiwi Meat Pies

Black dogs

Bobs Barbie

Jed’s fake bracelet

Skipped line code word

DJ Shadow

Cheese music

Night of a millions hatreds

Go-go’s

20 months muse amongst the interwoven streets of Hongdae
