Centrefold cardboard pop up

Exposing awesome schism
Giant rocket gone to seed
Oversees gurt grey divide

Purple sprouting broccoli

Thing and winnowy
Long bolemic pins
Dangle down half-heartedly
Look stronger than this close up

open the box of trad vibrations lost the lid in the mad rush, the crush of expectation, paradigms hide agendas under pretty paper
tribal elders sip cold beers and reminisce about the circumstances that nurtured the hair brained to utter in the first place

Holly’s late
Watch the ersatz light
Reflecting starboard
Honour bound to succour
Day becoming night

Eschewing tuna mayo
Dreaming high seas calabrese
Charming orange runes
Amaryllis niceties
Bent over backwards

commitment to non-violent

watershed in the process.
Well, what d’you reckon they made of that?
Sage and prudent, perhaps
A bit gushing, retreat
In the face of hassle?

Ideological or
Theological blocks.

Three o’clock round up
Slug slime wakes smear shadow crooks
criss-cross flat parsley bush
Two stroke mosquitoes falter
Visible winds splutter ugly truths
Stoptember warnings ignored
Malice once a far thought

It was said she perished strapped
Inside a yearning building
Firebranded radicals
Did their very best
Sent cucumber sandwiches
waved pomegranate petards
Malice once a far thought
On terra firma takes root
