Put out blazing cat
Left in empty milk bottles
Turned up thermostat

Opened all windows and doors
Counter-counter espionage
Drones disguised as flies

Circumnavigate
Naff squiggly lampshade
Armed up to the teeth

And don’t forget
leave a smoking cadaver

Episodic enema soils domino all-knowing eyeliner, smelling rosy-posies, wrinkling up blue barley blaze, singing snarl laments, waving jolly rogers, two fingers up to bloody brutes, burning perfect pitch, atop vinegary hill, picture prayer card poseur priest issues old sago wind up cry—
‘gerrup yous lollabouts for I lead to clear catastrophe’
As a one they rise in confluence to flee the pungent smell of leatherpiss and rotten grapes. This done its home for tay and jallop, pen a ballad, and settle down snug to dream of giggling gombeens…thinks for dat either way, diss gift of liff, made a hames so far—
bad blood, bad houmous, yellow nile, burning figs…
So come Slocomb scrapping, conniving, bad smell rising, bicycles unchained are no more than scooters, technoprat, hence the n-name: Scooter Slowcomb, perpetrator of indecorous road rage and ragworthy ragout, romper stomper, heart of mould, broken nasal baritone par pestilence, snag buster, cringe maker by royal appointment to the House of Cheese & Biscuits
—lead us on a merry dance, big stink. Our souls need filling up with pink creasote and love apples. My tum-tum winks, my throats a slit. Lead on McDuff. Lead on!
Quince, loyal marmaliser heft a mighty wad. Big hearted and shortsighted as Lordy Arturo Pendraggin, pinch nose of mauve snuff, veruka and blisterine: one tough geezer, well rounded clap trapper, conviver, bonifaced spouter of drivelriddles, a Sucker for nourishment. World view contaminant or ripe plump pluckable legumes and succulence, thuswise rotunda temper thunder sunjugated by munch and prickle, keeper of the nipple, chanteur of logorythm of wife, Thermal Spottie Ars—
In for a penny, in for a mound. Shake fist and writhe, boyo Bucky. The ones got your gnome ennit! Let brittle commence, Fifthwith. Chard!
Knees up, tumbledown, grunties, spillage.

manifestly bodilicious
scrumptious glowing isotopes
radiate warmth & succour
mystified gobshites

nudity reveals truth

Proud mistress mane
Painted strawberry hangs up

lobster telephone exchange

O Predicament!

to disEmbark
on blue train jouRney
lifetime went screWy

along as well for those impromtu outings
sunsetTings: clandestine alfresco

O Journey!
unlit smoke filled chateaux sTuffed
fur empurpled knobheads
conspired giggling
belittling me as
lowlife bottom of shoe
O Prisoner!
sub-branch line station
bucolic idyll Piddle
water cress sprawl

water babbling hanging baskets
dripping fifties bloomers
daZZling floribunda
Mistah Ticketman—gimme cardboard chew
He just nod say:
‘Bon Fromage!’
O Denouement!
waiting room (again!)
smokey dustcloud
fellow travellers true fools
speak of nothing but delays
missing fretwork lynx
O Fistycuffs!
heads up collision down the line
quite avoidable you know
these days with tech knowledge
ee eh never mind
not too many dead so…
get green bus instead
does it: Really, shh U re?
disdainful sneers all round

O Knees up!
choose yer warpomes ‘ere
promises made to self
watching Roots egg on
artesian duellist
why so angry dear old thing?
rage management blind guide dogs
lurk round nearly every corner
ambulance chasing pooper-scoopers
frequent post traumatic fall
out shelter stormtroops
& soft detritus rains
Coz black leaves matter (a bit)
Polysirens wail laments
micropoems pinned
to treeblogs save our
planet from further
unnecessary clutter
green penknife trysts
etched on old tree blogs
eternally yours foresee
Tina’s coming very soon
so just dig it Dorothy
swallow the yellow brick road
ever remembering
neutron stars sleep all day
recharging batteries to
scintillate all night
‘good eggs only sitting room just one careless owner for that is all it takes dammit (handwrit small on uterine wall)
intriguing i thought
it matters not what it says
any more
hidden liminal signals
perfidious albumin such as I
call it sure:
whipped up some frothless coffee
no more seethes raves screams
or ruin six egg omelettes
exit means exit
eggs is eggs is egg is eggs….
after all is said & done (that is) dot the eyes and traverse the devoTees in a jiFFy
Sense and fear of dying year;
dry naked weathered boughs,
shade damp amber fall.
A cruel clinical eastern wind
Eviscerates, then
sets fire to Summertown,
petrified eye witnesses
crawl back underground
and hide in readied
fumigated demi-rooms

sentence: ten years solitary :
sins against literature Cell No.Fifty-Eight: ‘Come hither your time is up!’
Kiss emits a missing hiss,
crumble of balsa
deckchair crackling on dry tea-leaves, the sickly click of elbow
on homespun sugar and the tut-tut-tut of tongue come unstuck on dry gob roof. Jackdaws! a spat on a chimbley stack silence.
