Enough is enough
Sad facts are to be faced up
Like stained cracked mirrors
as when sun subsides
or when
all days are none
Enough is enough
Sad facts are to be faced up
Like stained cracked mirrors
as when sun subsides
or when
all days are none
‘Weatherwise it’s
Dustpan ugly day…’

Found enlightenment
in sunshine running
a soap oratario
a sudden inlook
at the parts I play
in the loneliness yarn.
*
From Buddha to Alhasfa
Dillinger to Jesus
Costume changes.
And So do yours.
How fucking mad is it to
think that we are all
characters at play!

Shoot! That went quick
One moment conversation
Then it’s Old Beijing
Full of shit and twigs
Two thousand and eight
Was a good year for Birdnests
Hitchcock got it tight
About technique and tricks
A plus sans change
Upon a boulevard
Made luscious blondes
Malstructured orders
Fall into two-take disorder
Two inch planks made order
Cary grant came through of course
Wrestling a baby horse
Kodak caught the moment
Look! Say Cheese! Ugly
Your embarrassing neck
You now too can see
Appear in future times
Like Dr Who or Theda Bara
All it takes is
A blink of an eye
Like a pinprick second
Then magically
Scientifically
All the world is yours…
Birthdays, funerals, candles
Immortalised forever wrong
Stuck in sticky dust envelopes
Marked: ‘Audrey, what a treasure!
May, nineteen-seventy two.’
That was it, was it?

How does it feel to
Beef

?
Breathe in octave,
in one voice,
the celebration of the fungus,
sharp light on water,
a trout called esther williams
has parasites on its whiskers,
they say: ‘shave this fish, shave this fish’
and slip under a fan dancing turbine
off for porridge & smokies.
