Wet caged masquerades
Cattle low as hanging fruit
Ferment in the bog
We have all been here before
It’s Deja-vu again
Mystery repeats itself
First time stealthy
Next time selfie
posted on Facebook
by wholesome lonesome cops
looking for promotion
& insurrection
To record for training vids
Go to Youtube – have a look
She said so

sure

sure she said
so
said she
sure so
she said
Sure
Smokey, swift grey cloaked
Ghosts flit in ochre twilight
Garish Animal umbrella
Leads cagouled girl child
Safe home round the bend
Fireworks flash far off
On market town slopes
Sleet lights blind shadows
Afflict brief glimpses
Midday
& many
minutes
Winzersturm
a’cummin
shut
Up!
Patti Smith drops in –
Sad eyed world wary
Horses Leap
one ear cocked
Back in the day
when we all had hairdo’s
All was do it yourself.
Slipping slipshod rhymes.
The curator swept out the door
hovered on the wind
Skint obscurity!
Sold the toxic family
saliva to a spittoon.
Evil is the root of all bread
Refuse to perish on the vine.
Canoes & kayaks hurry past
buffeted by cataracts
in search of sweet asylum
way beyond a joke
a trope
a paradigm
nature’s cracking up
so it would appear
is everything else
ineluctable
just about covers it all
or would you say not?
Orange speech bubbles
Need regular refreshment
Like imagination
Damn clammy, warm, irksome night,
big mall full of grievances,
trams of packed mania,
never reaching the end
cellars of odium,
vapid sapid entropy,
subterranean halogen
car parks full of winos
choreographic knife gangs,
dun roaming big time
noisy empty tenements,
emblematic anthems to
blank random ignorance
