Sausage, bacon, tomato in a brown bap.
Crucial glider crisis talks underway –
quite a tussle by the sound of it.
Day gone shady grey,
all hangs dangling in the balance.
How to plump?
Pros outweigh cons
and vice versa.
Alternatives to impasse:
half measures, no measures, more measures.
Thorny problem, telling points on both sides.
Sweep floor: time out, pause for thought,
check for rain, wait for a sign, a determinant…
indigestion breeds procrastination

I find food works well
better than anything else
in times of hunger
nutritional substitutes
just do not take the biscuit
Sven up rose & shone
Doggerlandia sodden
under brilliant today
soggy mammoths roam
peach gold opaque dawn
open dirty window wide
sunshine dapples wet dog rose
Grizzly Bear squints back
Doppelganger encounter
Opposites attract
clouds act like dimmer switches
raindrops glisters wet dog nose
Sven turning thirty


Jackie Wilson spoons
Kings of Marvin Gardens moan
heavy air waives swoon
goodbye to cruel pearls
farewell to audacious souls
Searching out some body that works
Under spigot bigot skies
leaden burden sighs
too overly familiar
onerous chatterbox
clueless lingering
playing at bewildering
fingering moonscape scar tissue
a farce of threadbare
sackclothed habit
starts me up from
overwhelming reverie

bye, bYe Mohammed Ali
Greatest nuts grow Greater trees
Just before the immediate
I paused
Had a second thought
Of what it was i
Was getting at
Fancy that
What a twat!

SerioUs wRiters
mOst(ly) dEad rich (or) hideous
giVe mE the WillieS
Round eleven it burns down
The engines are turning,
churning up
dormant subterranean turtles,
laying flat kerbs for giant cars,
upheaving monitor eggs,
yellow men
coral them in sandpits,
soon they’ll be hatched out
by stray, broody ostriches
weary, careworn nomads,
whose ivory gonads bristle
in brutal
municipal sackcloth
bend to add
another egg to the pyramid
