Night Storm
purple rain gestures
porous chorus eyes sweep seas
litmus paper pores
indigo collides with crimson
hollow bronchial catarrh
sounds of rumbling baritone
lightning flashes lightning strikes
never in the same place once

‘Ungry! you bet yer
badass angry as hellza
pop-popp-Popinjay
hip-hip hooray Huzzargh
mush wryshuss indignayshun
guardy-poohs!’
Clear the room, remove the loon
jinx more second helpings now
is the winter of our disco -fuff
flacid gawd, whorely doxy…
puffer runnin’ uff out-pfuffuff
fuel needs feeding you Tom Fool
hire clear blue sky blinking
turn again Whitless-Washboard
turn again, for London’s Burning
lavender river flow-flows
Ptomac-a-Ptomac
Parting company wit
Surreality
Aint as sinful as it sounds
Necessarily so-so
manifest obscurity
guarantee:
purview
blue
oblivion

Drifting on a balsa raft, oriental crocus breeze, compass spindles slow, ever increasing circles, heading for the pillowed rocks, supine on a sandy shore, truly past caring
After, psycho-narco jollies pass, swoon descends into slumber, groping idly in the dark, letting out the rabid dog, listening out for sneaky rodents, standing tall in a small
Hall, struggling on scattered stairs, letting out spent poison, trying hard not to break your scrawny neck descending, nice day to start still life again, will it wet or dry be, where
Has the week gone too this time, high up noisome purple scuds, ominous luminescence, wishing for the worst, never hoping for the best, too many disappointments, keep
Calm and carrion, sing a song of sufferance, go lightly and with peace, what in these slippers, you are of course taking the piss, getting down to work, incomprehensible
Narrator talking out his arse, king seen in altogether, chortles ripple round real tennis courts, balls roll down ha-ha, quite a parting trick, bow low while winking to the
Stranger’s gallery, shapes of things to come, spasmodic tetrahedral paper diamonds, off road catastrophes, ploughshares turn to ear rings
Trashed it, simpering, dithering, dark editor, slow whimsy dulls me, narcolepsy whelms, laps, gurgles…here we go again, malingering without intent to cause affray
A new idiot is born, not a repeat of yesterday’s, that comes in the night. Same exasperating incidental music, mind you, synthesizer meets viola in a troika
Turtle doves, water voles, and killer bees endangered by turn of agent orange by popular demand, outbreak of Pigg’s Chorea
Let soft dictators sleep easy in their pearly cots, safe in the knowledge yours is an open and shut cask of amontillado
Enter purer freer realms without redress to newer cleaner clothes forgetting not to paint your toes, blow your nose, or stone the crows
Harry S Truman rests back on a space hopper:
‘look here, if they won’t take our shit, we’re history…right Mac?’
A quiet ruffling; random coughing; small collusive smirks—
the usual suspects finger fad gadgets
We could have cut the atmosphere with a skateboard…
Perpetual eye
Stares down ineluctably
On lesser mortals
Temperamentally
Disposed to transgression
Panoptical illusions
Disturbs internal security
Stranded camera
Green tea infusion
Cumulus stratus nimbus
Squirt runny honey
What else is available—
paperwork, towelling, fear
doubt, Japanese verse forms
compromise and surrender
plenary self-indulgence
Time to make up lists
Self-fulfooling prophecies
Caught anything yet?
Have a shower after this
next coffee, then a crap,
and a l o n g shower.
Its bloody Monday
morning just look at what you have
been through all you’ve
been through just to get to here
Jam tomorrow and jam today—how I hate those pesky jam traps. Venus Fly, Man
And Honey aren’t much to write home about either
now I come to think of it. Best to avoid them all, or trigger them with a barge pole or pole vault pole from a safe distance behind a rubber gum tree
Early days of future past, soap sudsy bubble bath, flyblown tumbleweed scuds, pink candyfloss monstrosity coated in wasps
stand up and be counted out on a technicality, retire to the Galapagos, going over old ground, check the lobster pots for squatters
Harrison Birtwhistle whispers sweet nothings, thistles bristle purple thorax, gentian blue crab apples skedaddle helter skelter down the lane
