Aitchless cockney rhyming slang:

Circles: Early Doors
These
mindful
circles
you move in
move in you
move in me
Can you
see your circles
move in me?
No!
nor can
I
We are
thus
safe

Paulus the Gonk
Gonks: remember them?
stuffed baize effigies, hand size
Felted arms, legs, hands
Little humpty-dumpties
Head on the body
Jumper pulled over head
Secret policemen
Cook’s Wisty Armageddon
Cheap mister-mannish
dolls born in an oil crisis;
industrial strife
times when lights went off at ten
Mine was called Paulus,
A little gnome who welcomed
You to his home in
Densest Pogle’s Wood
It disintegrated
After various drubbings
in the old twin tub
with a sadistic streak
Gonks became old hat
Space Hoppers were the next fad
Never had one, still drives me mad.

The Currency of Fibbing
Obscure
slipped by
Oblivion
Sly old fox
Getting away
With it again.
All those lies
We get away
With.
where do they
end up?
Green lies will
Bio-degrade, I suppose.
White ones are
Good lies so
That’s okay.
Others just litter
And soil the place
Some really hurt,
Like bee stings
And bashings
And Truths

The Offering
Perchance
or deft planning
a scoop of baleful altar wine remains,
though not for long.
Rite of Spring:
callow neighbours nail eachother
to the paper partition wall – time
honours these home county behaviours –
some wayward blood drips through on this side,
my side.
I observe with some disdain treacly crimson goo
impinge clematis and home entertainment cables,
the main arteries of
reality are besmirched….
The orphan stale ham salad roll awaits
Ravenous, cavernous engorgement,
yields a surge of purpose, of demented potency,
to cut the crap,
make one’s mark,
utter and act.

Woodstock
Winston Churchill resonates at times.
These are some
hummings
Of my head…
Beaches, dog insurance, dead
Iron curtain, cigars, up yours,
Yankee cigarettes, Ray with an E, Smith,
bon viveur, bon mots, monarchista, landscape artist,
Black dog, Gallipoli, Narzees, Tonypandy,
Nobel prize for War, bricklaying, never surrender,
Field of human suffrage, chicken, neck,
Clemmie, Dundee Cake, warmonger,
Imperialist, always a bit pissed,
Figure of hate, derision, exasperation,
Fun, bore,enough.

Alice Springs
The Pelican’s
Moored quayside;
Newly Clipped
& Trimmed:
Larboard
harboured
barbered
crimped
shrimplines
ripple
A poodle –
Kingsized,
Going
by the
name
Alice…
(plaintive, insistent yell on shoreline, middle-distant)
Doggy-paddles
pristine
past

Noema
Merleau-Ponty
& Charlotte Bronte
Went out for a meal
He hazarded the haggis
She indicated veal
