Skinwatch
Carbuncles, moles, tumescensces,
spots, scar tissue, warts, blackheads, scabs,
bubos, boils, and bruises…the rest is blistery.

A Jakes Progress
Father lampshade,
Mother rug,
go gliding upstairs
through dreek formless fug,
real time is taking shape.
~
Thus can Moby Grapeseed dwell
in grotty motley,
spangled alcazar;
nasalizing hypnotic
verse into a well-travelled
voice recorder on the jakes
for acoustic, hygienic
and ambient purposes.
~
Here he will be found by a
stranger with an
axe and smartphone,
who will flush out thoroughly,
do his duty and wash his hands

”the who…?-
What bliss awaits me below?
Something hot & spicy
Most probably not
You’re really struggling
Hey-ho dontya know the cats
Seethe despair differently
Mucal chissled grins
Hang hissing round the door
Most insistently
They beg for essence:
Ignored children shout a lot

Trial by Ordeal
Love trains leave by night
How swift desire passes
in this Wistful age of steam
Ecstasy clouds good judgement
All’s unfair in love
We are all war Criminals
Awaiting trial by peer
Group hysteria
Tread wary hunted Minotaur
Now standing on Platform Four
A seagull bound to tell lies
Omniscient eye seas lullaby

Mahlzeit!!
Eleven bellows
cogitate thirty eons
of time that never was, is,
or ever will this day forth:
More coffee and quanta, my Duck?
Und warum nicht, my Leda?

Aleppo Sleeper
One
o’clock news blackout
Losing all integrity
Over emissions
Aleppo massacre
hogwash lubricant green room
full of terrified white elephants
Modest interim proposal—
Cannibalism
Nothing to add
Perhaps
I’ll go back to sleep
After drawing the curtains
With indelible charcoal
Inside our discrete brainwaves

New Big Deal
suppressed desire to broadcast hogwash today too busy making myself gross again- Hey Tiresias! quit moping round them knobless herms and tributes go saddle up my Hippocampus let's make a big splash downtown at sundown a proper shindig down the five and dime

Wet Long Grass
diluted liquid fear
shy retiring acts of violence
child neglected architects
fabulise rustic cities
serial killer
chainsaw milk vandals
forging lawless frontiers from
farflung sporren lands
they can only kill
you once you can kill yourself
one day at a time
~
too cold to go out
eleven freezes over
bad for tight muscles
limber up indoors instead
slow motion vowel movements
~
Sporting clownish garb
Long legged daddy long legs
spatula juggler
feelgood factory engines
churning waffler in motion
time soars slow below
foundling in feather bucket
crow ravaged thorax
doctor who goes noncing there
on fabulous adventures
british broadcasting
corporate porkies
