Armageddon (Out of Here)

Spoke shaves no one speaks,

coffee makes up fresh coffer,

Niagara falls,

the sun goes to the bathroom.

Eight thousand word month.

All hail Marx-Lennon

Iconic scions

Mock dead empires

~

Afternoon is among us.

Come listen here

where fresh fungus grows.

Razing history erases mystery.

Careful with that axe Eugene.

Smooth as a baby’s bottom

As clear as crystal

Vivid crack starting pistol

 

Walking Walls

Two days down this slowmo week:

legging it.

Deep down under Crimson Hill:

legging it.

see no light feel plenty heat:

legging it.

Hobnail rattle on indented brick:

Legging it.

Walking the plank with Skipper Jack Smack:

legging it.

breaking my neck wreck my back:

legging it.

Walk the horse over the hill:

legging it.

Grunt, push, grip, step, take a breath:

legging it.

Splosh, plash, creak, and crunch:

legging it.

Echoing echoes doing my head:

legging it.

Better off living better off dead:

legging it.

No light at the end:

legging it.

Show me who switched if off:

legging it.

Soap Radio Terror

Sound no vision

Dum-de-dum-d-dumb-e-dum

Be heard but not seen

Dum-diddum-d-dada

Unread…but not red

Dum-de-dum-d-dumb-e-dum

What Caroline said

Dum-de-diddle-eee-argh

Grimm

Once upon a time

Fairy tales were little stories

There was a mad dog

Prone to foaming saliva

Stale coffee dregs and tulips

His name was not Fang

Despite popular belief

It was Oliver Socket

Just to put the record straight

Give a dog a bad name, heh?

Boiled or Poached

Am I staying in today?

I did all May plus

June July August

& each September

For the past six years

~

So

What difference does

another day make?

Every little bit counts.

Is that true, really?

I cannot say for certain.

It is just a feeling,

an urge of sorts.

(Pause, sigh, continue…)

~

…but like life it will soon pass.

Gravity I’m told

begins at home:

Ergo levity

is somewhere not here

 

Whitherwuther

After the mist comes

a very fine drizzle,

all mixed together

the mizzle

~

Temporarily blinded

dazzled by bright light

on a puddle,

a puzzle

~

I am mute,

Smacked dumb stricken

Gob cannot function

a muzzle

Bananaskin

Schadenfreude, schadenfreude

Everymorningyou greet me

Small and white, carmelite

Clean and bright, anthracite

Youlookhappyto meet me…

Time

Inner scented oriental mood,

Two tone shoed,

culminating on a Zube,

~

neon lit chicks

insinuate

titter chatter.

~

That was now.

Can you imagine

how good that is?

~

You are smoking

Casually

Consciously

~

Smoking

On a noir street corner.

You are wearing a hat.

A grey hat.

It is a busy street.

High buildings.

People teem.

~

A city.

Night.

Sultry.

~

Am I right?

~

Fancy an omelette

I do.

Fresh green salad?

~

Sounds good.

Stale green salad.

Sounds odd.

~

Let’s go eat

anaesthetize

some skies

~

Nicens

Byrd Parker with strings

Theolonius at wing

Coltrane opening favourite things

A nightingale sings

Sublime kind of blues

It’s Raining Zen

Damn this goddamned day

Priapic pig fest pranksters

You know where you live

Bomb and the world bombs with you

Squeal and you squeal alone
