Baluster

What was the whisper of the sea?

Around the balustrade

What was the whistle of the sea?

Who cast me in this mystery?

When is the start of history

What was the whisper of the sea,

Around the balustrade.

Yellow is blue

The sun is gray

A sizzling sausage goes cold and older

The scythe rests in the mellowed sun

Concorde eases a troubled shoulder

Gray is blue

The sun is yellow

 

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.

 

 

I am what I am

Sloth

‘…a morning of many tempos – pleasant sunshine and a graceful arrival in the crowsnest, a contemplative shower; yet, the insistent repetition of the alarm clock was a portent. On arriving downstairs, I have to confront, singlehandedly, a defiant and barren hen about to ravish the spinach. Staged mayhem results in a cleaning frenzy of the clutter below and the retreat of Sloth in a Huff to her coop after having to do something…’

Popeye spent the rest of the morning ambulating on the zimmer between house and garden: stretching parchment legs, listening to Beethoven, smoking tabs, avoiding dogshit, avoiding humanshit, relaying coffee cups…result: relaxed exhaustion and sunny alienation in the atmosphere of poisoned, silent dispinachment…

The Farce of Habit

In Exit liberté à la François (1799), James Gi...

‘…Do not take your hand out of the fire.’

He took his hand out of the fire. He did it every day after he was told not to. One day he will not be told and he will burn.

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!

She Sings Good

Way downstream in

Sleeping Waters rise

Spring tides surge.

How very dare I meet her now,

brave the dangerous voyage?

The grass lies down in the valley below

Where milk cows ominous sit.

After hands work scripts that never end

Dawn to dusk when the cuckoo spits
