Let me out
a room in the house of the dead
read promising reports of Siberia from Fyodor.
Irony escapes me when her blood is up.
Two fratricides and a horse theft cracked it.
Bingo!
Ten years eating flowers
regardless of good behaviours.
Social leprosy
is indeed a chronic state.
beady eyed ant eater sits up aloof, contented
nothing left to say except:
‘Happiness writes white; ergo,’…
Okay—rain check Day
Two day break from all of it
(Football, Brexit, gardening…)

Question!
(Serious question eyebrow)
Yeah
(assumes if I must face
clears throat & utters)
Where is all this going to?
~
Shit! I though as much
And…
I dunno
~
Light another cigarette
Pause
(one last wish before the plunge)
~
Hunger?
For what?
snap quick–gobsmack
~
Think fast blurt it out
No rashers – Danish
Diversionary tactics
~
Just leave me alone
Long pause – dead air waves
O My God!
~
O My Giddy Aunt
Things can never be the same again
Not even the weather?
~
No – Not even the weather
Shit!
Time passes
Time slowly passes
Can I go now?
Sit down – have a donut
~
But I…
Sit down – have a friggin’ donut!
Thanks
History is a nightmare
forget to learn it
Put in your pocket
Retrieve in one hundred years
if you remember that is
Have a real good laugh & cry
coming up five now
probably gonna shower
play test match pinball
