Another four in
the morning get up & grope
about for my face
lost before society
to rampaging pacoderms
during mama’s confinement
~
man elephant man
elephant ma elephant
me elephant ma
the weight of my head kills me
sleep propped up or snap your neck

Pleased to inform you
that the operation was a
total success and
I am now a proper woman
All thanks to homemade napalm
Sausage, bacon, tomato in a brown bap.
Crucial glider crisis talks underway –
quite a tussle by the sound of it.
Day gone shady grey,
all hangs dangling in the balance.
How to plump?
Pros outweigh cons
and vice versa.
Alternatives to impasse:
half measures, no measures, more measures.
Thorny problem, telling points on both sides.
Sweep floor: time out, pause for thought,
check for rain, wait for a sign, a determinant…
indigestion breeds procrastination
On midsummer’s day
In nineteen seventy six
Acting goatishly
During the heatwave
We did a rain-dance
Little did we know
What would come to pass
As we rolled in dry dog pooh
On biscuit brown
municipal grass

I find food works well
better than anything else
in times of hunger
nutritional substitutes
just do not take the biscuit
Sven up rose & shone
Doggerlandia sodden
under brilliant today
soggy mammoths roam
peach gold opaque dawn
open dirty window wide
sunshine dapples wet dog rose
Grizzly Bear squints back
Doppelganger encounter
Opposites attract
clouds act like dimmer switches
raindrops glisters wet dog nose
Sven turning thirty


Jackie Wilson spoons
Kings of Marvin Gardens moan
heavy air waives swoon
goodbye to cruel pearls
farewell to audacious souls
Searching out some body that works
Under spigot bigot skies
