RIP Cynthia Paine
So
Farwell then
Madame Sinn
As you were
To The Sunn
My mate Keith
called you
Cynthia
Because you were
Nice to him
Once
Very Nice

Sult
past caring
temporal
sucked on fun
luscious lime
glamour glugged
some rotgut rouge.
Showered swell
pink fleshy stockades
at some considerate length
Now
I rest afresh.
In
a sickly pineapple
courting understanding

Doggerland
Thick primeval soup,
teeming in Amphibia,
living breathing gloop
Before the flood one could trudge
to Antwerp for ambrosia

From Here to Insanity
Black and White Movies
Starring Edward G Robinson
And Loretta Young
Orson Welles’ left eyebrow
Looking up mischievously
Real escapism
Involves tranquility
Not crash bang wallop
Last night someone bombed Paris
Giving up their lives so fast
In the splicing of an eye
Death is Universal
So is the truth
& the Movie Studio

Clausewitz
Was that any good?
Too staccato and wooden…
like glockenspiel?
No more hollower
A piccolo then?
Kiss at this juncture
Not so Tweety-Pie
Perhaps a bassoon?
Gerraway with you!

Pour Fredric Martin
No fresh bread today
Conflict is contradiction
Only baby Boum-ers!
Quick & Easy times
Like a slice exploded
Armless in Gaza

Dick Whittington’s Cat
After the Lord Mayor’s show
Back to mine for sandwiches
Still keeps on raining
Time to get lost in a book
Finish the plonk
Sleep one off

Afterword
Dinkus strummed some
Untamed melody
As flying fishes
Play on Andover beach
Couch casting &
Shadow wrestling
Modus vivendi

Modus Vivendi
The day turns
on
fifteen minutes
will he or will she not come?
I have unlocked the door,
fetched out the crap,
brought in the milk.
It is very windy and
the sky threatens rain.
Things that deter unnecessary travel.
Four minutes to eleven.
Looks like a no show.
Make alternative arrangements.
Change tack.
Map out a new course.
A new modus vivendi.

Shadow Wrestling
Words can
not describe
Quite what it feels like
on those occasions
When you’re lost for words
But do
not worry
it’s
not a problem
as long as you know
what it is
that you mean
Does it?
Yes
