Dancehall days are here again
Couch potatoes go to seed
In front of Goggle boxes
Outside equinox well
…Equinoxes
You can strictly stick Strictly
Come Dancing up your sad arse
Farce repeats as history
In
…Paradoxes
book of the week ends with six pips
her name was Beryl Bainbridge
her sparkling eyes & dazzling quips
cascading from her lucid lips
finely sculpted flattened vowels
came back to me from
a documentary I once saw
about John Lennon
Homo Deus rises far too early, doing nobody no favours, plugs in the cat and stares mindfully at a cherished hologram
Grand auto thieves scamper for cover across the kitchen ceiling, Spider Siddall and the gang know when to err on the side of caution
It is now time to retrieve the clavicle from the birdbath, a delicate task demanding scant attention for those bent on self-destruction
The Tannoy erupts into life, someone in Patagonia has decapitated a backpacker with a wayward pitch of the bolus
Despite nemesis and a string of letters to the local authorities, a group of birds persists in the annoying practice of respirating squawkily
Changes on the way
This takes longer than a day…
Five hogs is far too many
Garden full of junk
Take it as it is
Forget about it
When I cannot write
I write
i ca nn otw rite
There is nothing to
write about
when I cannot
write so I write
ican
no
twr
ite
when I can
garden full of junk
this takes longer than a day
forget about it
change is on the way
take it as it comes
five hogs is enough
when is day afternoons
go on and on
forever
bum sore after Sunday
drunken stumbling clunking fall
loose green sock cops blame…
quiet slow warm clean
recovery:
Great Sea Voyages of
Discovery—
What makes us stare at
open windows opposite
black as television sets
when there’s nothing worth watching?
just another empty room
exactly the same as this
‘cept the other way round
now that is quite interesting
Thrill us, Alfie do!
Sink your fangs in this virgin
Soft white downy flesh
Rise up crimson eyes bulging
Jowls dripping blood saliva
He loved his Cornish Cream Teas
he does the poor old devil
