Octoghost

octoghost

Each cherished savoury thought

generates breathless excitement

waiting in orderly queue

 having ordered ghost fish

envisioned perched atop

plentiful fulsome ghost chips

 complimentary mushy peas

salt & vinegar lashings

down the Deep Sea takeaway

every Tuesday night

A Precarious Ambler

Farmer Jones

See shadow walking

slow bent stiff as if stilted

heads to the shed

in late low morning sun

casts long crooked

shadow of bailiff

odd looking fellow wearing

silly wooly safety hat

Olivier Messiah

Omul-Capra-Goatman-299x211

Live in spite of spite

Ways of seeing ways of being

Standing on your head

Head on backwards to the front

Pictures at an Inhibition

Defoliated cities bid good

Riddance misanthrope

Wolfing down cadavers

Post nouveau cuisine

Based on an original

Recipe for disaster

Zillions like on Arsebook

Good monks carry machetes

Concealed in nasty habits

Up Periscope

Peter Lanyon’s Thermal, 1960

Listen to something

misunderstood multiverse

cast off thousands gasp

barefoot strollers on hazy esplanades

in biblical proportions

perusing the claustrophobe

mining for water

squeezing rubbery shale

moulding candescence

from watery grapes

to hurl up real high

just to observe them

exploding stand way

down under agape

foretaste cascading nectar

Weepies

you are the only

one in the room who knows what

always ends in tears

Vicarage Tea Party

nose

…it has been said

anxiety & stress

do not rhyme

with oranges

nothing really does

as a matter of fact

stress & anxiety

however rhyme

with dress & propriety

& quite a few other things

actually.

Yes, that is really boring.

More sucks, Vicar?

Yes

-Anchor the Spectacle, Mister Hands!

We’re going ashore.

It was too soon.

Hands blushes coyly

Shakin chestnut manacles

Eyes understood fully

Hands encounters disdainful

inscrutable latitudes

Eyes ignoring the growing swarm,

a manic fauve flotilla spewing

onlookers doing selfies.

You just crossed the pacific

in an enamel bathtub.

The age of true sailing is

undead

You are feeling tired

after that,

about an hour

or so was it?

Lost all sense of time

Only for a while

mind you

Only for a while…

Some snow,

an afterthought,

soon passes:

a dusting,

a sprinkling

barely even that.

You think one up this time

if your fancy takes you

Gemutlichkeit

Give me a home where

considerably more that this

is worth insuring:

a home fit for genuine

black forest gateaux

made from real black forest trees

and Gemutlichkeit

Ten Years a Slob

Xeno Sneeze

Go do something useful!

Out is not an option now.

Cook, shower, sweep, decorate.

You are on your own.

Mind your business.

Improve you circulation!

Shake a leg you slag.

Beat your inner slave around.

See what it feels like

getting pushed around by me.

Is this work?

Irregular hours, low pay,

alienation – yea its work…

Unwaged slavery sounds odd.

Who’s the exploiter?

Mr Algorithm

This is getting slow.

There’s your problem…here we go:

off on one again.

Go do something useful!

Crowbar wire curtains

Open for dizziness

Sanguine pension on the hill
