Clearing the Docks
by grimbeau
Stevedores gently pulling loose goosebump gizzards thinking bout
a humpback whale off Margate passing
down
paradox lounge quiz
where bar lizards stroke florid
goosedown gizzards (close shave minus unctuous balm)
and mock at their impending peril
one armed bandits who rage like insistent purple gargoyles
*
Footpads weave in empty handed and dodge loose change
begging favours of crazy saviours caught peddling hope to great white dope
at this stage soft cops burst in quelling din
take seats conducive to watch the fun begin when came a saucy dish
aforesaid fun begun just gone one
met a fishy saucy dish who one
found out later aroused an alligator who tried to sate her
When in came pater and caught said alligator
gnawing on a stubborn bone
pater was a well seasoned baked potato
too hot to handle so the cops looked around avoiding scandal lit a candle took a powder dipped their snouts in seafood chowder

Green golden sleeves droop willowy supine over sable fable plots footpads trip light
elastic plastic flagstones sneak thiefs issue wily gulley giggles that plangnt echo ghoulish splatter dash off din dissolves
down
cobbled runnels that lead to slim air drains for whistleblown miasma sinuate and hoop lanes or squat incongruous proud arched in dainty floribunda sprouted from chipped brick gulleys and
apostolic posies…fistfuls of six, fistful of seven repel overspruced suitors who don Sinday best bib and tucker leer languid lurid hungry smiles
afterwards blissed beyond coyly found besplat with coal juiced cum sleet dripping by to pass on a promise of nevermore nookie in a coalshed wherein eternal blisses steal kisses contacting sublime lilting learned on all four
Things and everything you honour to dwell on for a parsec.

Meanwhile downtown lithe Hope
springs eternal

During the crash of two zeros eight perished queuing up for Northern Rock (creme de la creme)
Rejigged a lifetime’s savings. Rodgered away on the sly by de Cover Up retreat into
Insecure obscurity battening down thatched hatches weathering the storm that never stops
