passing shipping…
…sailing littoral lagoons
isthmus archipelagos
seasides of tranquility
peace pours soft kisses on
atlantics city shapes
slowly watching conveyors
silhouetted by the moon

Trilby
Blimey!
A bloody sonnet
dropped by
out of my hat
fancy that
all about evening
idealised
poetic license
freedom of formality
incubated nuisances
contort reality
in subversive silences

Cider With Nosey
As
you
walk out
in the garden
assume the olive chair
face the morning sun
mindful of the schism
spend awhile elsewhere
ten provides some clarity
go tear down delapidated
old tired chicken townships
destroy what is not needed
gig for stolen dignity
time to dig down deep
replenish nurture
preserve
grow

tundra is the night
orange groves spurn indigo
gormless faces dreft
eyelids held opinions
wretches clutching jubes

Lampblack
No, I don’t want to
talk about the Wrecklings—
let’s just move on
my computer wants
to help me by getting to
know my voice pattern
Isn’t this so exciting!
I get stuck for words &
spontaneously
burst out in schlock applause
dark comedians complain:
stop pulling my fuckin’ leg!

Portrait of a Maybe
No malice no cry
Removed annoying tiffin dag
Dried up fruit cake crumb
Hard to break down cranberry
Undigested lamb cutlet
Or something more sinister
Don’t look now says Henry James
pulling on worn cardie

Suck
Hoovering half-heartedly, Pre-stressed steel muscular, stilted, stiffish, torpid The quality of mercy is half-strained & falsetto like a doomed balloonist going splat on worn grey leatherette footstools, a real deal phagocyte enters, snips claggy brackish waterfowl, flings a crane fly in the simmering beige broth, shall we sport passé cotton pullovers for effect, muss dwindling rancid quiffs and heinous eyebrows? Downcast slow rise condos sinuate minus stucco tracery. others live in icky sitcom sets it is lifestyling for sure just not as we know it

What is to be done? simple Mexican hat trick? Well it is a job after all. Being a doctor. Caught up on some zeds after. No hidden meanings this time. Just unconciousness. Oh the Unfairness of life. Go first get it over with. Not on your nelly. Machiavelli. Little things just little things. all add up you know

Soul-to-Souls
The stampede continues, coughs and sneezes,
bronchial wheezes
spread more doggiedoos, half a blanket full for breakfast,
…I dream of Jeanie
with the light brown stool,
dripping on the stairwell in the morning…
The show must go on,
breath and voice,
breathing and voiceover,
timbre & tempo.
Teemberrrugh!
Little crackle cracks in an
Emerald Forest glade,
languid reindeer slopes
off, eschewing tree dust
unmoved by the wonder
we have just witnessed,
timing is everything you see,
the smell is creeping under the door,
anxious human footsteps clomp—
…
car insurance, benefits culture, health and safety…
putting two and two together
when nothing adds up
to a hill of beans. Yikes!
That was Sunday a week back was it?
yes last Sunday was ?
yes last Sunday was
Young Frankenstein .
…
Sleepless in Indianapolis somehow doesn’t have it.
Big Apple is just plain wrong.
yes you can write it off.
A Bumper Compendium of
Cinematic Carthorses
down the ages. Think
outside the shitbox
and it sure as eggs
is a shitty prospect out there
doggerlandia.
…
Ominous white roadsweeper crushes the car.
Fast dog craps at noise.
Deep yellow coloured lighter
obscured in part by glossy red cricket ball
quite by happenstance this
provides a striking contrast
in this tallow light.
Green tea did a trick (did it?)
