Q&A

Lord Bolivia of Oyster Bars,
a catcher on the fly—
Sounds an egregious cove
to my mind, will I be
surprised by His colour?
His timbre? His thunder?
He scowls well in fluent Spanish.
Oooh-get you sailor, he once
queened—sibyllated in
purest Catalan

Hissy gayphobes are
so passé dontya find?

…It transpired his great aunt
Beryl did a trick or
Two for the Old King to boot.

A sheer bloody fluke, then?

Really must get cerebral…
Be less Catatonian
Prohibitive, yeah?
Is that what you’re getting at?

Indubitably

Atacama

Edge of desert

at a crossroads

break of day:

blue sky

black road

yellow land…

~

shaking hands

with Henderson,

saying thanks

 Henderson

for the truck ride:

three days

back now

still here.

~

Word came of a train

Train never came,

delayed by grain

hoppers

delayed by

open heart

surgery.

~

Toucan dismayed

shakes

sorry heavy head:

cracked yellow beak

blue

dismal eyes

~

jet black feathers.

Sheen

gleaming after

morning preening:

Glistening

 ~

Acute hearing

Jungle or desert canopy.

Adaptable toucan.

Sleeping penguins

dream of krill.

~

pungent lavender

five giant

clay pots

on the windowsill

casting white

shadows.

aeronaut

juggling knives blindfold
high wire walker minus 
safety network 
digital curtains tremble
snide comes before a fall
wolf howls a banshee
cunning stunts complete descent
to terror firmer


Carnology

manifestival
pen shocking intensity
in the burning hand…
(short pause for cold tap water)
Now then where was i?
Blog said, it’s finished isn’t it?
I looked down trying
To think up a diversion
The carpet spat flames
My toes were afire
I have no carpet
(long pause for suffocation)
Oxygen flees in whimsy
The bees have not knees
manifestly

Dickensian

Hand and Gout
Foot in mouth
Advertise for a stand-in
An imposter
Let’s call him Thomas Dolby
Either that or Victor Malby
So I invite him to check
And be checked out down
In Gadd’s Hill
When whoosh! A stroke whooshed
A whoosh like Edwin Drood
I gave then the Trial of Pickwick
A Christmas Carol
Waving farewell
Hand & Gout

sneeze

Situation abNormal
Each and Everyone fucked-up
—hear no meets Zeno Evil

Our Johanna

Llamas debasement grotesque apartment
Crime of defacement breaking up discouragement
Wind weathered true blue purchasing new health food
Dead geraniums ooze oilslick crude
Drongo emerges in bits
Feverishly exiting crumpled
recidivist’s drunken carcass
black tank prison stint
Blackness thick as creasote lint
Inky pinky molasses
Sado the Gaoler steals a parting kiss
Through cracked thin pursed lips
Chokes on wreaking Treacle
spattered malodorous pelt
Obstinate bowels make last
Opiated loony stand declare:
Get scrubbling hobo: self, dwelling, pots & pans
Get fed up hobo, get water, learn about money
Sort it out this next week, clear headed, full of hope
Those just past were the
annihilate days of cynical grumbles
Everyone left is old or sick
Learn to play misty again
Sport Roberta Flack jacket
Long hot shower ahead shop


So you think you can
get away with writing bling?
Get scrubbling Bobo
If you wannabe a Dylano
Learn how not to sing
Like Perry Como

Seeing and being seen, thought Our Johanna, avoiding the mirror the nervy curtain call. October slumped and flu jabbed lies twitching on the sofa, lookin’ for a gofer, time-Honoured joker, flaky, shaky feeble hand…
Mary-Anne—whatever happened to Mary-Anne?
Got carried off in a big white van,
maimed her old man
half a gallon, rustic jam
Bubbling away in a frying pan
Clung to his hair like a Rubberband

…Will Quince fulfilled his fruity pastoral duties
sound bitten realists winced when they misheard…
Put in a shift—3 hours liquid refreshment
