Dunkslam

English: Zebra in Wellington Zoo

Cruel and vicious age as ever was

longsuffering lifesufferer.

 

Do not bullshit one about the deprivations of the posh or chide me

I am unspeakable toothless with bite snap vengeful hard work

 

my reward three times twenty three this year shite up the snout

maculate deceivers line your nests and fill your boobies with

silica and choux pastry resentful me you betcha runs in the

breed like the wooden leg hip hop clip clop Iggy copped it

 

again last night a long drawn out affair mizzled puzzled dazzled

daddy sulks longest sulk in history of history and night

 

disturbing bassoon oboe stormtrooping quadruped

foodless as a mulligatawny owl a moustachioed pistachio

 

beckoned forward by a blindfold bogyman for mud is thicker

than water go the whole hog and take the plunge…

 

Brooklyn’s Buggy

Bentley 6½-Litre Speed Six Tourer

Siegfried came and went:

Sixty-Niner

Move faster,

Desiderata:

‘Go Bentley

without Plates…’

Heel

Tit-Bits Advertising Postcard

Yesterday plus one

damp smell of seventies

porn mag, black and white,

thick minged,

Titbits or Parade,

lawn and hedge,

put it back where you found it:

a secret.

 

Stealthy wanks and aloof strops conceal

the pull and then sulky sleep,

complex born.

Delivered by a bald man from Parslow’s

who looked like a parrot,

or that comedian who made a film with a parrot,

lantern jawed, sort of Stanley Holloway,

that time anyway.

We move into different times of Happy Door

writing down the football scores

in a Woolworth red notebook

and very erudite

but for the greasy skin and hair

and the Bri-nylon shirt:

withered upturned orange collar,

second hand jacket that was always too big:

still is.

 

Pink salmon trousers for smart

made me look and feel like a dork,

perhaps I was!

Do not let on or you’ve had it,

there will be retribution and bullying

far worse than ever known in the history of me.

 

Join gangs,

walk hard and hide

clever bully,

ideas man,

dirty rec,

silly temptress with Goldie locks,

the smell of sweet wee-wee.

Bowled him!

Over

 

 

Road to Tad

English: Water tower at Piltown This water tow...

Tarmac patch water tower

wood stump clearing dip

and two

little double roundabouts,

flat binocular

white nipples

sullied by tyre smear,

skids, and fast

turning people

rushing to the bomb

plant past gypsy site,

through wood and common bends

and twists and dents

to the Falcon’s nest…

Mornlight Drive

"Solitude" by W B Leader circa 1890

A blind, dead driver

in front

slows and

indicates all options

before a left at the lights opposite

a set sun of cheap stuff

and loss leaders

that call the believers

and sinners to shop.

Breakfast at Knobbly Knees

English: An elephant that is part of the Flyin...

Late sultry night and nearly sultry morning.

DODI? More royal dross, oozy does it,

nice & oozy.

Hot & Cold liquid. Door?

Scratch? Make enquiries without.

PC Pigeon, Flying Squad, scratching around

like Inspector Hound – more of a sniffer who likes a snorter.

Barmy cops the blame for littering path.

Does his bit, Hound.

 

 

Slowly make drinks of coffee and codeine,

think food: rashers possible. Go get it together:

fill kettle, don kaftan, open door

(already did that above).

 

Verses! Form and content.

Wrestling with Flowers:

let it flow out, only drips from an empty tap.

Sticky so shower laters.

 

Gutpowder arrives; cause celebre to

noisy gobsloth to be centre of attention:

failed and fucked off!

Trappism recommenced at 10:45.

Start to detox tomorrow; fancy a sausage!

Quite peckish, yesterday’s heat mostlike;

thunder earlier; food is good. Sausages on: pollop shopping;

feeling flat, food and incantation desired;

crock steady, one day at a time sweet nexus.

Sharpen up with a shower, kick out the jams…

 

Note a relapse to ultra-brevity,

so often happens when fractious, hereshow:

skirting the zone, hit and run prowler.

Regard the Fearstalker

See the pushy, nagging whippet.

 

 

Icarus

Icaro cayendo / falling Icarus

All the trees

are brown

and the

carpet is grey.

I went

for

a splash

on a summer’s day…

Elevenses with Igor

Rites of Dionysus, 4

Rite of Spring on: unseasonably

Pleasing accompaniment while

Sitting daringly naked with towel

To hand and an eye on my genitals

Ensuring they are not overexposed

To the sun.

Having been burnt before like this.

When the Rite is done

(less than thirty minutes)

Back indoors to lunch on cider and crackers,

And, gently creaming my largest organ.

It is the centenary of this Rite.

 

Bold Feet

Potato takes longer when not on –

Confuchiasaid

 

…Adolf Hitler, Bob the Builder, Sting, and Fu Manchu

Etruscan verandas, Chessington zoo, trams and a Boy called Sue…

Meanwhileaway…

 

In the belly of the quintessential beast:

One mo! I must bare my feet, take off socks,

Step deftly into scalding, saline soup

Wherewithin…

 

Wild Dogmen, blood axed racketeers, them sort;

Merged into angry bellowing crash waves

Trading, pillaging, raping, and knitting.

 

Heel touches first through steaming steam dipping down.

I shiver, goose pimples bloom, tender soles

Softly settling into purple water…

 

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.
