She Said

Surprise visitor!
Ginger Rogers fresh from heaven
knock me down with a feather boa

give us a twirl then luv
‘aren’t you going to ask me?’, she said
Ask you what I close upped

Strong silent typography
‘How does it feels to be dead?’
She thinks I’m Peter Fonda

Poor love goddess,
They all go a bit
Sunset Boulevard

I give her my father’s best side
And flash the trademark
well-upholstered teeth

she smiled knowingly
We parted on the best of terms
It had not always
been like that…in fact never
quite like this before

a rift, a fissure,
the meerest hairline fracture
inbuilt obsolescence has
a lot to answer for; so,
later today dangling 
precariously 
upside down by 
the ankle attached 
to a withered yellow rubber band 
I will venture to examine 
various suspect roof tiles
If I have the time 
Or indeed the inclination

Like Keaton

Granite fey

Agog

Aghast

Watching you

Alone

Walking away

Those sublime hands

Thrust deep

That old grey, fleecy,

Hoody down

Right to leave

While the goings

Bad to bloody

Pointless

alter ego FG

Woke in satanic

Disarray

Head left lolling on carpet

Overflowing tumbril nearby

Recurring nightmare

More daytime television

Born on Bastille Day

Somehow inevitable

Both folks Irish Republicans

Marie Antoinette Dignam

How she hated cake

so did her parrot:

Madame Guillotine
