Catching Up

Trudgin through a drift of skinbits, a clock

Appeared:

‘Zoot alors!’ I exclaimed, realising that the clocks

had changed.

What was once a mongoose was now a goose.

‘Non dieu!’ I exclaimed.

How time flies.

‘Au contraire, mon nambulist!’

Said a clock.

Back 1

Pretty strung out on a weird green quoit when a zither said: ‘get down here punk, gravity is not levity.’ Ignoring their megaphone shouts the ground hit me and I dragged myself through the thronging crowds of Alexandria, piss bleeding from my eyes, in an attempt to find out why the ship matches had disappeared from the soul kitchen. And guess what! As I approached the mews a spider strand silvered down from the window, and I, like an extra in an epic, tethered my one remaining toenail to it, trusting the last chance saloon, and got pulled up to an open bay window, where I got proffered attractive vino, which killed me off. The last thing I remember is Torquoise.

Why?

Damned if i know.

Fall Clocks Back Soon

Moon undercast, sat in dark, underslept,

overdreamt.

Grayson Perry repeats in my ear:

wreath lecture.

 

Upstairs rumbles, floorboards creak:  footfall

human biped

paw patter.

Noises.

 

House to clear, stuff to do.

Shetland occasionally poor.

Colour pitch. Huge challenges. Budget cuts.

Findings concerning.

 

Rain is the number. Heavy brisk bluster.

Gorge custard. Asp tounges in larkspit.

Togas and no gas.

Maria danced for money

 

grander day. Blue mountain megafire. Bedtime for bonkers.

Thuds.

The day begins and ends in night.

Night is morning: Good morning night!

 

Clocks fall back soon.

She’s not like how she’s painted

A two-faced bitch’s a trifle rich

Still,

Her reputation’s tainted

We squint to see it

It is there
