I, economist
University professor
Smote myself to sleep
Bread and egos, rashers
Puddings: sweet (leukaemic) white
& bitter (bulls brown)
Give Blood!
Leverage-golden,silverfish,frondz
Quantative teasing
Tickle till you drop I will
Fingers crossed behind my back
was i just? kidding
Our Zero is back.
Huzzah, huzzah…
Back triumphantly from Nodl,
festooned with laurels,
plaudits,
smelling of spring fresh mint and lavender thongs.
– Have a cigar!
– Thunk yew muchly…
Don’t tow:
Shell.
Wish like new comer: wash like an old comer
…say lurvee, say lurgair.
Life’s so unfair.
Weeps lots.
Drugstime;
coffee two.
Get down, hep kat!
Pickled pumpkin head in a Pipkin!
Whatever will they think of nexty next…
jugged hair, lungs tongues in arsenic, potted wimp?
Friday I think blue train twinkles Naomi: (S eductive) Yes Naomi Naomi: (E r u pt ive) Yes
Fly asleep on screen
Awaiting rude awakening
Slow motion replay
‘sport’—that’s what they call it now
When you call the aerodrome
Zero hour contracts you see
Just in time delivery
flies are not to blame
Just making a crust
Getting on my tits
Foxes spy hedgehogs
Conga round the bonfire
Predacious chortles
Argent spines stiletto
Prickly heat burns appetite
Taken so long to
get here seems we forgot the
purpose of it too
easily distracted by words
crying out for attention
Poem of the Week
title: Go Get a Real Job!
spinning paper plates
who said you’re a long time dead
didn’t know the half of it
I smoked some grave ass
Damaged the thick glass
Of my cartoon eye lash
So did Gunter Grass
He was good, dontya thinks?
knifing slivery eelsguts
in a Kitchen Sink
Ate cake before bed,
coffee found congealed
intact, redeemable: stirred,
revived, microwaved.
Stay of execution granted
Just three hours before deadline –
brutal brinkmanship
orders from the DA
reprieved to death row
there’s no place like home
green, green grass
to touch, taste, smell
Each dawn I live.
