Gieben, performance poet. / Part of the Chemical Poets collective - www.myspace.com/thechemicalpoets /Email: [email protected]. /ONLY 5 AND A HALF YEARS LEFT UNTIL 2012... DO YOU SEE THE CONNECTIONS YET? /"On lightcycles tricked out to polarize the darkness / Fragile minds flipped out to appreciate the spark less / And as books burn we memorise George Orwell and William Gibson / Reach Fahrenheit 451 and internalise our fiction / This is the last extinction / Stupidity become malignant tumours / While hope and light die / And echo back dark human rumours / We are no Skywalkers / Rather tread down in the darkest depths / Apocalipstick talkers / We deconstruct with every breath..." - from 'Science Fiction' by Double Helix
