Spillage
I didn’t
do it
I wasn’t
there.
You
simply,
really must
believe me.
I know,
I know…
The blue blood
on the rug.
The breadknife?
Yes, it’s mine.
The body?
Okay. It’s me.
Now do you
understand?
I am not
Guilty party.

Gadfly
Forced to flee slow accident below—
dog got worried by cuss, fuss & bother
private reasons gurt & daisy small
Time slips slow-quick-slow away—
no life permitted down there after hours
(bad traffic, gridlock, ill managed all round)
Shower first thing then…gogogo
A day away after months…
Returned bruised yet unbroken
Soiled, ill kempt, dazed & bemused
No one to blame but others’
Crass impertinence during my absence—
when cats etcetera: lice etcetera
etcetera etcetara …

Mappa Lundi
So, farewell to another afternoon,
Subsumed in swoon, in a pale pink fractal
falafel, catacomb syrup lair, actual
familiar blue room, pale pink womb, belly
blubber walls, well plush crow’s nest, full of shit
and sticks; Indian cuckoo spits, some maps,
Wedgewood tobacco juicer, ugly cuddly toy,
fond of you set,… Just going, going, gone.

Seven times seven

Leaven un leaven

Salt’n’pepper aeroplane spray season cropdust brown breadfruit flies wilt

Blue skies blow flowered fish fungus—eek!
A booogie Man bo-Jangles
A fall comes before
Pride’s purgatory
Open mind’s eye
Crusty pastry (goosy waxy gander berry
under bramble hairy apple green)

Moon suckles blood red orange

Lickspittle took a Butchers
Bull rushes into
China shop (unseen)
Grabs
(Nay snatches)
Family silver,
Bric-a-Brac
Old Moor’s Almanac
Run of the mill artefacts
Porcelain zebra, farmyard ruminants et al
Inattention to detail
Reveals some fibs within
cloven toenail cumbersome
Grasp…
Ebenezer trundles
furl & fog…meretricious
vague apparitions fail to
thrive:
get that- smiling minx,
water vole, crawfish lipstick
emerges bonnily on rye
one hundred per cent
un-divvied-up
~
Attenshun!
Smell of horsepiss fingers
evermore
evergreen
everlasting·
manifestly bodilicious
scrumptious glowing isotopes
radiate warmth & succour
mystified gobshites
gaze knowingly on blue cheese
nudity reveals truth
that can’t be thrown off
discarded like a uniform, y’know-
Lorenzetti Woman over there
Proud mistress mane
Painted strawberry hangs up
on nuisance caller
lobster telephone exchange
rings for assistance

Pang: unHappy Bunnies
Quite
Out of the
Blue clear new true
Was it you
That gave me this box of frogs?
You know here
(where we come from
from time to time)
we do not play at swopsies
mopsies popsies or
flagrant fluffytails

O Predicament!
Just About
to disEmbark
on blue train jouRney
lifetime went screWy
(brought wrought iron tricycle
along as well for those impromtu outings
sunsetTings: clandestine alfresco
peckadilloes)
O Journey!
unlit smoke filled chateaux sTuffed
fur empurpled knobheads
conspired giggling
belittling me as
lowlife bottom of shoe
O Prisoner!
sub-branch line station
bucolic idyll Piddle
water cress sprawl
abundant over chalkstream
water babbling hanging baskets
dripping fifties bloomers
daZZling floribunda
Mistah Ticketman—gimme cardboard chew
He just nod say:
‘Bon Fromage!’
O Denouement!
waiting room (again!)
smokey dustcloud
fellow travellers true fools
speak of nothing but delays
missing fretwork lynx
O Fistycuffs!
heads up collision down the line
quite avoidable you know
these days with tech knowledge
ee eh never mind
not too many dead so…
get green bus instead
does it: Really, shh U re?
disdainful sneers all round
—it does, it does it to get hardened?
so not done these nowadays
concludes in kersplat
enter baseball battering
peace corps dilletente
O Knees up!
choose yer warpomes ‘ere
promises made to self
watching Roots egg on
artesian duellist
why so angry dear old thing?
rage management blind guide dogs
lurk round nearly every corner
ambulance chasing pooper-scoopers
frequent post traumatic fall
out shelter stormtroops
& soft detritus rains
Coz black leaves matter (a bit)
Polysirens wail laments

Johannes Factotum
micropoems pinned
to treeblogs save our
planet from further
unnecessary clutter
green penknife trysts
etched on old tree blogs
eternally yours foresee
Tina’s coming very soon
so just dig it Dorothy
swallow the yellow brick road
ever remembering
neutron stars sleep all day
recharging batteries to
scintillate all night
