Good, that stopped the table wobbling!

Went out for a quiet garden moment,

just as I was warming in the soft sun

of early autumn, the army commenced

lawnmower war next door. Disappointed my

plans were scuppered, but undeterred to gain

nothing from my venture, I fetched the washing

from the line and back indoors, though failing

to spur the idle into action, I

consoled myself with the thought of green socks.

Rue Morgue Avenue

Bullets rain,

winds prance,

 

Cold suns rise,

firebirds dance.

 

Sirens wail,

beggars chant:

 

Honi soi qui mal y pense.

JFK

 

What did he ever

do for me

John Fitzgerald

Kennedy?

What indeed! Stopped world war three –

that’s a start.

An indefinite postponement so far,

Certainly.

It would be very bad for business, it

was argued,

an argument that held water

with many,

a popular viewpoint among those

who knew who

John Kennedy was.

And for those who didn’t

A chance, an opportunity

Precocious as a pre-fab sprout,

Faron Young plus thirty-three.

The hour: the one before the darkest,

 

Clock the dour, prudent, tourist jurist

loping slowmo from zero to one,

distilling memento mori ad hoc.

 

Just like a Rigoletto really,

or a cigarillo nearly, huffing,

Puffing, somewhere in the night.

Despair says:

 

Some say Ebbohla

Others Eebohla…

What is it?

We are told nothing

Never, nevvah, no…

I toyed a while with Jeremy Kyle,
And took the lie detector.
I ate his face and it tasted vile;
My name is Hannibal Lector.
