Dippers

 

 

Dippers dip in close up
brisk wary purposeful splash
slowmo sub-aqua sunbirds
Succinctly snatch eggs under
primeval lamprey’s maul
catch sun star spangled eucalptus sways
violent white amid fresh tea plantations
Raj refuseniks broody dye off mingle
Angelus curfew lights up pipes
take syncopated swing time sips
gin slings stroll punk fanned pergola—
moving parts swarm shanty town below
top cat glances overlook disdainful
deep exhale at Main street devils
wretched beats in Green street hovels
half-baked puerile malcontents
Bar Blue Parrot noises swell

 

 

Stomachs march on Armies

HST

 

Start at end of yarn
Unpluck twiddle cut
Up in seven pieces
Deconstruct the sponge
Reassemble conundrum·
Crass instruction pamphlet
Holes as big as parts
Impossible after breakfast
Full on human traffic jam

The Drawbacks of Disbelief

Cake eaters rattled crumble
Hunched up over precarious lattes
down inside voodoo child grumbles
—austerity charity caught fondling figures
violent phones rest in peace on unstable cradles
beckoning a reckoning—
faith & hope look on
kicked deep into the long grass

Jimson plant querent

conceals Messerschmitt mindset

contorted looking glass…

of late promenading a huge

chunk of cool daytime

Quasimodo sitting room

seeks  quiet fulfillment.

A washing machine foxtrots

churns clogs, dog fetches doormats.

The time is three twenty three.

World turned back to front.

top shelves are empty places –

Must go plunder

Fantasy Fare for Fatso…

default

Prized frazzled bacon
Eighty per cent carbonized
Off wrecked baking tray
Tabasco sausage pitta pouched
Fractal endive rainforest
Two toddler sized tomatoes
Windfall scallions
Slithered thinly scattered
In your dreams Fatso

The Show Must Go Up

Quick!

Purple cataracts

unleash cascading torrents

ideas in flood

come engulf magic moments

barmy tsunamis

overwhelm porous

herbaceous borders

consumptive easter bunnies

obliterated cobwebs

open microphones freeform

festival bonfire of profanities

foreswear allegiance to fuck all

available on offer

down the supermarket

not worth lifting but for…

Spuds.

As constellated

Jason and the Argonauts

pay their usual

Ritual

Xmas visit.

The dog will not drop the stick.

Perhaps upstairs

is the best

Place for me just now.

Either that or a

cross country run in slippers

Hi

 

donned wrong slippers two lefts no right (man cannot compete with the gods) shines not the light of openness, hark the herald angels sigh

open the box of trad vibrations lost the lid in the mad rush, the crush of expectation, paradigms hide agendas under pretty paper

tribal elders sip cold beers and reminisce about the circumstances that nurtured the hair brained to utter in the first place

continue reverse shift key from bad to sad greeks bearing gifts of twinkly stars every time we said good bye until the last

perversely mixed with liguini fritters & hidden malice the garotting takes on a new light glory to the new born thing

Charming orange runes

Amaryllis niceties

Bent over backwards

To please the undeserving

Chasing shadows constantly
