Not A Verse

Harvey

This is

not

a poem

 

So do

not

worry

 

Or

read it

 

Instead,

Tear it up

Burn it

 

And

Eat more

Eggs

hand chat

Head: Hitting midday again,

Drugless and fagless,

my knees unmet. Took a fizzy codeine

about an hour ago and went

back to my bed: Head.

Tuned into

Janacek: Grosz salon folk dances,

berserkers in tuxedos,

dead eyed vamps: Head

Jazz age Thedas, crawling

Astaire way to Paradise,

Fatty Bugattis,

fat butcher’s chops,

Cops in yachts,

lindy bops, listless sops:

Head.

Midday

Wafer thin ham, poached eggs,

& toast on the way.

The beeps, the beeps, the beeps…

it is afternoon!

Took a stroll around, saw what gives.

Shoulder pain.

Baked pseuds and garrottes

Accompany

The shrews for luncheon.

PC Plod enjoys his truncheon,

wielding it without compunction,

except of course in Rotherham

where no bugger gives a damn

about reports of

babes and sucklings

You fuck them up

We fuck them off,

Quite puts me off

The Strogonoff

 

Jomblies

Al Boley

Sloth, Banjo, and his wife,

Susannah

Had a nice time in Havana

Six flagons of gin,

made a right din –

came back without

their Pyjama

Arid Shrimp

forests

 

Rolling slow

Tender toed

 

A lukewarm

Gecko prances

 

How heat chipped

Basalt pricks

 

All I want

is shade

 

All I need

is sun.

 

here comes a

fire hydrant

 

worth avoiding.

It rolls past

 

Haplessly

Can’t sea me.

Undertakings

pal joey

 

Put out the cat

& the candle,

Phisss!

Meorghh!

Ouch!

 

 

You  little-shit, Chuckles!

Go on, treat yourself:

Have a wee one;

Pipe up fresh warm coffee;

Collect new fresh water

from the uphill stream;

 

Turn off lantern tap.

Time to turn on Turtle?

Go make Myrtle Purple?

No, not now Nigel…

Laters:

Squeaks in Frongs

Three-In-One:

Shed

 

Instead proceed

moving forward,

leaning, faking

baby bader steps,

to the garden gate…

Vicinity & Beyond!

Wasn’t

gonna

clock-in

again,

succumbed,

bum numbed:

What a pain

I miss Debussy.

Don’t fret!

There’ll be another one

Along

Soon

 

 

…L’Apres Midi d’un

Ondine sur la Mer…

 

 

I miss Debussy.

Don’t fret!

There’ll be another one

Along

in a minute

Parsnip Worship Rosehip

firestarter

 

Transparently puny:

crouched, shifting, jumpy.

Sugar load mountain.

Spoon that spoonful.

Croon tune, fart of pixie.

 

Hammy line; Bambi-mine.

Sulk in silken mulch:

Gulchmen stacked neat

On Ass lawn by door,

calling cactus cool:

 

enter Geraldo reprising

Cucumber Rumba.

Clever blunder

Cast asunder syncopating

Generation rehydrating.

 

Doors of Deception

 

 

rank & file

 

Slurping milk stout

on a sensible,

suburban bench:

Asyl of sound

self-sacrifice.

If paradise is

half as nice:

tremolos

so sweet

‘More power to you elbow,

me old Mucker!

 

That’s just the ticket…

Sit down and make a stand!’

 

said Commissar

Commissionaire

pausing for chat,

‘ Where’s it at Comrade Cat?’

‘ Ain’t you heard, old fellow me lad

There’s one gone off

in Commercial St!’
