Rachel Fox has been sniffing around the Cocaine Club

Cocaine club


Constantly turning people into
Snorting machines
With dead eyes
Dead minds
No hearts
Empty memories
No souls
Spouting theories
Well, one tired theory over and over
One that means nothing to nobody
But as nobody is listening
(Everybody’s talking)
This is not identified as a problem

    It's funny…it's a long time since I spent any time around this crowd (it's quite an old poem). Glad it still has some strength in it!
