Sunday Drivers
Freaks out,
Cauli’s out early
too,
much ado
about garden,
inside
Chopin mazurks
On a croissant
Something lurks above
A dove with a glove
A weasel with an easel
In the murk…

Whispers
the whisper of the sea
around the balustrade
the whistle of the sea
cast me in this mystery?
this is the
start of history
a whisper of the sea,
around the balustrade.

Top Hat!
Al Boley
fills gas
lamp mantle
a tin, eerie
bacolite mantle,
Woodbine romance
Shall we dance?
Syncopated Agatha;
Anglepoise, equipose,
Lachrymose quaques.
Crackle and ivory,
drum brush, Dapper Dan,
tuxedo, savoy, suave, class, pure class, lush…

Abyssinia, King Zog, King Kong,
concierge, demi-urge, debutantes, ants-in-pants…
Popular Fronts, Fascist Cunts, Micky Mouse,
The uniformed doorman at the Picture House

Spikes, louses, blouses, dames in trousers

Caddying for Tony Locke, spats, Schneider Trophy
No nightingales in Berkeley Square, just martingales,

Swamp Song
…hear road spray surge
Saturday morning shipping
muggy, sticky, sweaty,
laurel oil shining
yellow, yellow flower,
slug and nomad,
fennel sags and drips,
splashing,
plushing the petrichor,
boney, stony, earthly delight
sigh and swoon
Sun and Moon

Bing for you Buk
Big black beauty log, kind capsule,
lazy loving lozenge (cut in two),
small brown curly-headed baby,
fallow swallows and amazons.
once I found my love in a field of sunflowers.
Truly.
Silit Bang,
Easy-Off Bam,
Easy-off bang,
More Bing for you Bukkake.
General Flood:
You view sky releases
frog, pike, monkfish.
Recorded for Posterity
Short-term memory

The Bagpiper
He piped the music slow, careful.
Buzzing,
buzz, buzz, buzz
Not on my nose!
Don’t land…
Too late.
Freeze, Mr. Piper, or the nose gets it.
Sweatbeads: adrenalin: tremble.
Try a blow? Little up draught.
Macroscopia.
Make small big.
Blow responsibly.
Music is oozing from the nozzle,
mauve music magma.
Blow now!
Blew
Sting, recoil,
drop music funnel
notes splatter cake.
Eyes flood
Half blind.
Grab, miss, panic
cake on floor…
…nose throbs, cross eyes
purple lump.
Buzz gone, job done,
fact of life

Silence of the Hens
Clouds bed
down easy
The chooks
make hush,
Throttled,
twoggled:
Nessum
Dorma
Chicken

Giblets at Pyre
We’ll begin at midnight
When you have time you have liberty
Apollinaire
Noon & Nixpence
Meagre sleep
in tranceful, graceles woe,
pursued by evil minded lambs,
surrounded by the hurt and hapless.
These things I sink below,
subsumed in dread.
This is the blue blue blues:
heavy fug,
turn world upside down,
shake it down.
dandruff and wonga sprinkle
earth skin, cluster and choke.
Bad air day.
Solace: not alone.
United we sit,
divided we lie.

…turn over an old leaf
A good evening
all in all.
Neither short
nor tall.
Just right.
Like
Spaniel ears
Or
Tapwater

The Beach Boys
Just picture
Over there
In that corner
A grand piano
Made of Blood
Fresh Olive
Slaughtered
Beachboys
