STATE OF THE NATION





so i do what i can
when i can

i mean wrighting of course

between the fruit flies
& static veg of the day

thoughts like samples
over fuzzbox loops

big themselves up
with poached & grandiose titles

eg;


THE STATE OF THE NATION

jack & jill
went up the hill
for another litre of cider*
& jack fell down
& broke his crown
& the ambulance came three days after









* & ice & monster munch
  & ribena & vape juice

SAD MAD BONES


 

when its bad news headlines
that justify 
your extant mood

its
weird dysfunctional synergy 
that
sends
a
buzz of balance
thru
your
sad mad bones

SOFT ARCHAEOLOGY





i would go 
once again 

to the places
have been 

to see what of me
i might find there

in the memory
of streets

& the minds
of hills

~

time has never known 
what its to do with me

i am infested 
with its minutes
&
backwatered 
by the tides
of its great bowl

FEAR EVEN TO ONCE GLANCE




now
the
system orchestrated mindset
demands rolling explanations
for absence from the day machine

&
it
comes
out
as
a beg / a whine / an excuse
& pleas for understanding

when
i should
be unapologetically ill

a still turning 
burning windmill 
on the overlook hill

sacrificed to home experiments
slo-mo soft-blazing 
a strange new trail
thru the heart of darkness 

where half the healthy fear 
to even once glance

CIRCLES OF ELLIPSES




 now automatic writing
that engine & saviour of expression

     well -
 stationary boatmen
 make circles of ellipses
 in the spring of surface tension
 with coffee scoop feet 

& if i must
fall deep
to hear myself
i will belay the kernmantle ropes
 & light it up 
 & read the shadows
 of the gumbo & diamonds down there
  & fetch them up
  to the suns
  light
  warmth
   & bleachy fade

   & bust like birth
the kitchen counter silence 
in this bad-quiet & still 
     headpan pool
