Road Rage

With the lovers in a swoon, we all sang and parted
To the midnight of the noon where the chariots were parked.
Sat and set the gear, remembering the sidetracks,
Call her on the phone, thinking of my way back.
I came upon a servant and a man,
Calling at me to get the fuck aside.
I did not obey, and dragged him from his truck,
Threw him in the muck,
The servant off he took and went to tittle tattle.
The carthorse dashed way,
Dragging the old fella
Screaming to his death
And I got back in my blood–spattered chariot and went
Toward incest, blindness, and asylum

A Defile Near Daulis

Whoosh

Theres a celibate sun
On the dry
Today

Trim Jim!
Clip your beard
Am I being heared
Or merely weird

What the Funken Garden Said

Please, I compost you,
Enrych my life!

Hauticulture

Where is my Life
Where has it gone
Asked the corduroyed classes
Of Monty Don

How would I know
That is not fair
Were the asinine questions
Of Rupert Bear

Paddington Stationary

Paddington

Far from there
Stood a Bear
Here

Tiffin Time

A scattering of Porches
A cannibal for tea
With a wonky knee
Count those blotches

Whatever happened to Ian Bone?

Overseas Family Favourites

All Octobers are heavy steamy smells,
Crinkled silver foil, spillage, scream and burning basting fat. 
Damp and dusk rule the roost: 
From hip height I watch another

too big for three Sunday roast row witt

overseas family favourites.

cuckolded giblets foresee a sticky end

As serviceable gravy to an  

infantry stewed green.

A warm Guinness and carbolic soap await after snoozes: 
An extraordinary little cough at dusk again

These are dreams that life is made on.
Do not forget the spare light bulbs for the long nights 
Or Vicker’s Vimy vapour rub for the rheum.
