You can see them most days
chasing invisible aphids
seeds of ideas
by the drafty front window
scribbling down morning dribbles
that mutant notebook
in training for butterflies
to take home and impale on a pin,
to mount for display purposes
to show fellow aficionados
practitioners of
the dark art of tractor driving
Brizzle’s camera
obscura
dreamed up
convex
bibulous utopias
during copious
ditchdull
killworthy
passages of time…
Backnose to grinstone
paint acropolis iris
Me no care no more
Gormanghostly wireless
Smoothing unseen static robes

Mins
Prized frazzled bacon
Eighty per cent carbonized
Off wrecked baking tray
Tabasco sausage pitta pouched
Fractal endive rainforest
Two toddler sized tomatoes
Windfall scallions
Slithered thinly scattered
In your dreams Fatso
Timid house trained shrew
She sat sobbing silently
Crying in the loo
Teardrops splash on hush puppies
Reading bottles of dog shampoo
Praying that your bowels will move
Before you fall asleep
Listening for a hunting dream
What ever happened to
Sweet Baby James?
Miss
those
Dear Old
Dead Popes

Did you
?
& So
did I
!
Amen
Yeah, a proper cold snap:
bold cold ribald high hanging
lurking skulking awaiting
shaking with anticipation
on a stark arctic blast
when the chill factory dudes
finally fully fulfill
their much vaunted promissory
note to turn up the
air conditioner
according to the season…
sooner or later
it boils down to what
the fucking weather’s doing
or going to get up to-
Do you follow me?
Stones weep in circles
Foolish fickle Orpington
Regicidal suburb
Confederacy of Dunces
Hang your janus heads in shame

RIP St Lubbock
Lord Avebury to his mates
Champion of Nutters
They finally got rid of you
Blasted swinish multitudes
Wrong kind of democracy
That’s the problem with this country
swallowing black holes
cognitive dissonances
crave milky ways & mars bars
family sized galaxies
