Want! What do I want?
Came as a shock clean out of
Pretty much nothing
Like an asteroid
Fairly blew me away though
In the blink of an eye
Shadow of what was
No not a shadow
There is no sunlight
Write about something
What…& there’s food
Food sighs lists mean choices
Think imagine remember
Something nice on offer
Stock answers ten years
As if I can remember
After that deluge
History is a nightmare
forget to learn it
Put in your pocket
Retrieve in one hundred years
if you remember that is
Have a real good laugh & cry
Sense and fear of dying year;
dry naked weathered boughs,
shade damp amber fall.
A cruel clinical eastern wind
Eviscerates, then
sets fire to Summertown,
petrified eye witnesses
crawl back underground
and hide in readied
fumigated demi-rooms

sentence: ten years solitary :
sins against literature Cell No.Fifty-Eight: ‘Come hither your time is up!’
Kiss emits a missing hiss,
crumble of balsa
deckchair crackling on dry tea-leaves, the sickly click of elbow
on homespun sugar and the tut-tut-tut of tongue come unstuck on dry gob roof. Jackdaws! a spat on a chimbley stack silence.
deep breath. Ruby Murray urges go-go-go…woodpigeon bills arrive on time: wait for urgent reminders
picks up pin & writes:
Small minded? Mind made small, caged in, malnourished, smirched, lank
The loop games slept through last night until the nocturnal screamer started up
Broods and modest flocks peruse the evidence with fine-toothed combs, displaying unnatural penchant for forensic deduction
Pole cats who think big rarely make it
The tell tale signs of cupidity give rise to cause for concern
Flawed methodology must never be ruled out
Make sure when you smash it you give it one hundred and ten per cent
Leave all of it out there on the track
Always be mindful of sunken corduroy turnpikes
Spoilt for choice at the postern gate
Never yield to incessant misfortune
Nearly time to scratch your forearms blackberrying
When was that time the toad winked back?

oh so smart technology
Quiz machines give up the ghost
Slope sullenly past joke shops
Magna carta hardly worth
This beermat it was written on
Cheap shot Modigliani
Horseface O’Hooligan
Simples McPherson, & good Queen Mob
Make up committees
Echoes drift down soggy corridors
Torched transit vans remove
Airport bereavement loungers
Fugees allover unknown world
Rumble through Hugh Grant’s bloomers…
Show on road? No…
Isolated blizzard,
hail, frog rain, bubonic plague, GPI,
These and sundry vilenesses
prevent Lifter Finger & Hans Turn
Fulfilling promises of gardening.
A pluperfect spring morning
wasteland of historic neglect
disgrace my spiffing gaze.
The road to oblivion is paved
with claptrap and obliquy.
Nothing comes of nothing
never…
