Hot Cocoa Car Reverie

Illustration from below book

The cosmic chime of sub-atomic car clock

Inspired (drove) Samantha to yellow tears.

Fred Carnage clutched boiling plastic cocoa,

felt for her a lot: Why was that then ouch?

 

Bingo! It was Bloody Yule of course.

Her in fatigues sporting a bazooka,

he recalled, sipping with care…

The logo of Mothercare, in mist subsumed.

 

They shared the memory of a teenage pregnancy

A rollicking remembrance of a rampant ride for Fred.

The nightmare of an unmarked hospital grave for Sam.

 

September 2011

Pull the curtains and reveal that wow sky.

Thin cloud sculpts a convalescent moon:

wondrous shivering sad silver presence.

The clouds permit this harbour of  head space

Provoking basks to chill before dumb dawn.

Then watch through the fan window,

gaze past the submarine aerials and chimneys

and glimpse a fulsome face on Kerry’s mad coast.

Promenade across sad Bantry and stark Beara,

then southward to Baltimore and the big seas.

When bright dead and other sleepers cop this

they abandon calm: and bark wild with wonder.

Afternoon aftermath after

A tumultuous weekend of whisky

and wounds and lesions to self by self,

to self by others, and the rest of it as well.

Heavy warming windless afternoon of droning lawnmowers.

Food ingested, fish & eggs, onward and sideboard.

Sarnies & Pringlees, scabby knees’ ups…then

doppelbangers & yonyons! Feke daze in sum dazzling meddo:

krumpetities in transparent kotton; yum-yum;

mosskeytoes zip sharpish nippingly,

bugginuss as youshoe well:  nerewhon gniog.

Strudelweissly hee hawed hiz whey Threwtown.

Betrayed by Biscuit Barrel!

biscuit tin

Heroin Sonnet (One line is absent!)

Vermont’s Original Bag Balm tin laments

a pair of glasses (snapped for advertising

porpoises!), the child’s toy tractor, green

gin trapped naturally: there is floral décor

garish redolent of that chocolate

box, or some Huntley & Palmer’s biscuit tin

containing uncut Ammanford smack?

They ran him in, they ran him down: Besmirched

his name all over town. Self-righteous lazy

solemn nonsense! So, all good things must end

in silence. They were wankers and they

knew it; and he, apothecary, James

E. Blewitt refused to play their silly games.

 

 

You’ve got to…

c. 1630

disseminate the creasote,

eliminate the soft soap,

perpetrate a bank job,

and don’t mess with canneloni beans

 

You’ve not to…

obliviate the blue note

denigrate an old scrote,

consummate a dead goat

and then defenestrate the queen

 

look at the sun

it’s great fun

make yourself blind

and then it’s done

darkness ain’t all bad

 

remember to…

make a resolution

to eat a rosicrucean

and celebrate confusion

and don’t go to sleep before your dreams

 

One more time!

Don’t go to sleep before your dreams…yeah!

An Optimist sees an opportunity in every calamity; a pessimist sees a calamity in every opportunity – Winston Churchill

I am waiting for a quote,
A Churchill quote, I
Came across earlier as I was looking at
Jobs for Freelance
Editors & Writers.
I am still waiting.
My computer is
Very slow. I
Call it Morse, and,
My other one upstairs,
The one for best,
Lewis.
