About Neo-Noir Neuage

Neo-noir Neuage is a revival of noir Neuage textuality, a genre that flourished during the neo-noir post-hippie era—roughly from 1970 to 2015, following the Neuage-Textuality hippie era of the 1960s. Post Neo-noir Neuage is the present time. For more, see the Content/Index of this cycle. Note: Terrell Neuage was known as Terrell Adsit pre-1980, changed to Neuage in Hawaii in 1980.


 in disguises you and I to one we appear

never seeing

that we are

but hiding

ourselves

from our self.

Everyone was there

my mum who put me up for adoption then died from cancer
my mum who raised me then died from old age
my brother who still is my favourite human who died of AIDS
my girl friend who killed herself in 1987
my girl friend who killed herself in 1972
my master teacher who died of a brain tumour
my master teacher who killed herself
my dog (puppy) who chased another dog whilst in heat never to return

We shared a glass of liquid light
talked about the old days
and how strange it was
that I was still alive
when the plan had always been
that I would go first
and meet all of them
after I had set the table
for this our final meal together.
