Stars & stripes striate
my eyes
come to rest
on this
moribund fieldmouse
by the dog’s luminous red plastic food bowl
sun blinds me as I make my deft approach
One point four billion miles
From the planet jupiter
Nearly six hours after midnight
Blue skies shining on seas
fleeing genomes off to work
With a sound packed lunch

Forked the lawn today
Half-hearted fat man in straw hat
Alas poor Yorick

Always take the stairs upstairs

Awesome hill of beans

Ten thousand spoonfuls
Fifty-seven varieties

drain nap after lunch
blackfly gunge
twig flotilla
pale stale puddles
after the deluge
the lawn is brown
bread just add water
hay oozes liquor

Orpheus in electric chair
press GREEN to hide screen,
press GREEN or (zer)0 to return,
(had to check, forgotten already).
Then you was out trying to be
small on the front lawn,
mulling mindlessly over
which berries are brown,
and contemplating
an eight foot oak with huge leaves
planted by you forty-eight years ago,
when god was a boy
before we fell out over
the vandals who broke your bike.
Yes, a grudge-bearer of sour-grapes,
well hard done by then as now.
It is still too cold to sit out
in t-shirt and shorts
when the clouds pass over.
The blossom gives way
to rampant leaf growth.
Now tell me once & for all
Is a cherry a fucking berry?

Whistle
two minutes silence
to think one hundred years back
when the flowers went somewhere
plenty more where that
bunch came from these days
gift wrapped twenty-four seven
despatched instantly
straight to your doorstep
all thanks to Interwarfare

Peas (petit & varied)
Wish I was not here
Is it Friday tomorrow
Are you a moron
I try my very best to
I am not a calendar
Self evidently
Trying to be funny are you
It never works when I do
Who disappeared then
Smoke blows out my ass
A tobacconist

Tai Chi on Roho
Tai chi on roho slow as coot stoned as an unfaithful tory wife
Trying to lighten up before Henley Regatta
Elsewise you won’t get the most out of your summer frock
~
Tai chi on roho face down on keyboard hazardous standard lamp
Trying not to ring the buzzer with the hoop
Was it called ‘Buzzo’ or Milgram?
~
Tai chi on roho Djokovic stretches as a hobby between engagements
Trying to hang loose in an aircraft shelter
In Sarajevo
Just a little boy clutching
tight on to a shaking leaf

Big Fart – No Chief
Sleep is a great healer I am told
By highly unreliable sources
Total rain stops play
Dream found in coffee,
fresh fruit salad featuring:
strawberries and apricot
Polish chocolate
dipping & sucking sticks
obesity and all hope
of becoming a horse whisperer
vanishes in one
yummy comfort feed
on a shitty-bitty afternoon
whether you overdid it
or underdid it
happens afterwards
