Grimbeau

Scroodles

Nicey-Nicey

Donut talk juss eat

Said bulging face

Illuminating

My face with spit

Sure I butted him

Split the orange

Like two thumbs do

Westward Huh!

Gone grey clippers

Tea time approaches

Sound wind & horn

A perceivable absence

No shape, no form

An afternoon

Obedient.

Dry Auden

A struggling writer: a writer struggling;

a beaten brow: a brow beaten.

Quandaries. Sundries. Tuesdays.

Sunday’s Just like Monday’s is…

let’s call it straight, Joey

(not that old crap again!)

you gave me a one way ticket to Pookaville!

Palokaville…

urghh, don’t interject, I was emoting.

Yea sure you was.

On the waterfront there ain’t no latrine duty.

Cryptic as McGillicuddy,

Manhattan wept, just like Jesus did.

Left smallholding:

…lead Speckled Hen, brain a grain, fleck a cur…

An iota insightful, just a jot, a dot:

a wimple blip, a new black spot got.

Ceramics dynamic, silica majolica,

cilia and sillier, glass beads rattle

porcelain cattle, free mantle peace,

Cape Codology,

crystal mistral Bristol…

Old Sparky

Eluard was once

Grinkel;

Wayne once was

Morrison,

and Wayne

became

Jayne.

Gone Fishin’

Wistful, windless, desultory:

frugal, fawn, beige, puce _

Elvis has left the building

Pulling a fast one again

~

Half-six on the dot:

doors slam, off to the coast,

Bodies glide on the high tide,

rolling away to chilling gyres

~

tussles and rubs

from jetsam and kelp,

nibbled by gulls

eschewed by sussed brill

~
