Sizzle

after a shower
write something brilliant
slow walk on water
unusual morning mantra
‘Ode to a Bloody Pigsty’
Remember Benbecula
opaque shape in mizzle
when that spatula melted
sausages sizzled

Chief Executor
Osbourne spouts reassurance
for the stockholders
Corbyn cornered by
playground Famous Five rotters
Germans getting pissed off waiting
Water runs the wrong way
Down the kitchen sink
The world’s turned upside down
That’s why I got out the wrong side of bed
Turning with my back to the wall
That is always behind me

you cannot run
without a leg
to stand
on

no minister
came out of the bunker
to co-operate
in the witness protection
programme
silverfish fled for the coast
mendacity stalks the land
Has Britain left Britain?

Slept all afternoon
Now comes the shoutings
20.00 hours inspires
Narratives of loss
~
Stood before cracked eighties
mirrors preening rich frantic
Romantic yuppies
Cuntstruck Sloane Etonians
wank over Rachels promised
reward for boorish antics
~
thin veneered vanity sniffs
someother shaven haven:
in short- a demagogue was born
~
on the composter
immodest cabbage emits
flatulence carried stillborn
on a brassica breeze
~
& so
with hairbrush held proud
in bumptious trembling hand
Boaty McBoat-Race says:
~
‘Christ! My God what
have I done this time
to my immoderate forelock?
keep buggering on
~
Rehearsed sprout freely odd
consequences & renovate
notions of faux blonde order
The spectacle eats itself
F R oM
‘Ere
to eTer niTY. . .
Like the Bugler said:
‘In this crazy mixed up world
you are only as
good as
your last post.’

Scavenged ham & chicken rolls,
turned up the heat,
mocked snide indifference,
‘even when you’re in you’re out
even when you’re out you’re in—
see how the fancy takes you’
~
Where have all the donuts gone?
Last train to San Fernando
End of the world as we knew it
This will be the last donut
Get yer ass back to Eurasia
Rigging in the rigged world
~
Love is the Logo
Does eat oats and doves eat oats
& little lambs eat ivy…

Okay—rain check Day
Two day break from all of it
(Football, Brexit, gardening…)
~
Question!
(Serious question eyebrow)
Yeah
(assumes if I must face
clears throat & utters)
Where is all this going to?
~
Shit! I though as much
And…
I dunno
~
Light another cigarette
Pause
(one last wish before the plunge)
~
Hunger?
For what?
snap quick–gobsmack
~
Think fast blurt it out
No rashers – Danish
Diversionary tactics
~
Just leave me alone
Long pause – dead air waves
O My God!
~
O My Giddy Aunt
Things can never be the same again
Not even the weather?
~
No – Not even the weather
Shit!
Time passes
Time slowly passes
Can I go now?
Sit down – have a donut
~
But I…
Sit down – have a friggin’ donut!
Thanks
All Hail
