Barney who now runs Kick Arts used to run a venue, and did the most fun weekly YouTube( I think, pre tiktok anyway) weekly updates. I met him once and he was a fun, passionate person. Then he stopped running the venue and became more promoter/ consultant: it's a fun t-shirt if you want something different ( are you an old ) ( Over use of word there)

A Commuter's Communion
What if we communed
With each other
On our commute
And shared connection
However brief and
And acknowledged
Our shared humanity
Pencil on A5 paper
Old Couples
A life spoken
Not in a list of achievements
But in character and personality
And echoed in generations

Feet may fail
On the surface
of the waters
Yet let me walk
Amongst the waves
To test my doubt
Against my faith
Pencil on A5 paper
Chances are
I'm falling
By the same chance
I'm getting up
Depends on how
You want
To look at it
