When books are too long,
life is too short.

Smuts
Daylight
turns up over-clouded,
dampened, colder.
Solid,
slow, thick smoke
entranced sundown fires
exude precious little
warmth after dark,
Just
steady slow
smoulder, self-razing.
Torn up
newspaper, flyers, and cardboard
will leave glowing,
but soon, instantly,
stop, dissemble
And fall in tattered,
flimsy, dark smuts.

Says whose…?
Six is now
the new nine.
Itchy snitch:
Scratch sublime.
Live your life
in one day.
Name your date.
Stick to it.
Time is a
Conduit.

Strychnine & Gherkins
Dream this:
magnum opus lazulies
goose cystic bandoliers,
Daft, soft, puce mask
Blank buttercups
adorn droll seagulls;
Sometimes squashed
sonatas bleed;
small floppy alps
blister the horizon;
gorse wind heathers
…

Tea Time
Dark chocolate
digestives?
Three, please
A cup of tea
refreshes
Yes does yes
Easily could
get into this.
Tea at three
dark chocolate
digestives,
You and me.
And a
cup of tea
No water

Hear. Me. Out.
Here’s how in
the hear
& now
brown cow
& gate
left open field
as far as
The
Ice Can
Sea.

Jaw Jut
Look at that:
a dogged dog
who don’t play it doggo,
sit when spat at,
beg for his dinner,
or die for a queen…
whose bite is worse
than their bark,
you swallow,
gruffly ruminating
over a lamb’s leg…
waiting for a pig’s ear,
rueful of the duck’s arse,
sizing up the parson’s nose,
exercising horse sense
with the stubborn donkey…

Goldilocks
Big foot mantrapped,
Sasquatch chewing,
blood milk lakes,
hairy sunrise.
Three bears dream
palatable porridge.
Goldilocks sneaks in…
You
know the rest.

A Crock in the Park
Overseas posting
not good enough,
don’t try harder!
It’ll shine when it shines.
Good plop and poem
about New York
by Bugsy Seagull –
something about rap,
Drive-by shooting music.
Got the croc &
ref to Prufrock.
Felt great weight
fall from me.
Refreshed by
Mountain Fontain
Compulsorally hosed,
Crimped, and pinked.
Brunch in Zimbabwe
With old boys
Sporting ties
Old school lies.
