BEHIND THE BRICK & CONSENSUS

noons the new midnight

dusks a ceasefire relief 

dawn games are welcome 

     

i play there

     

like canute did 

with the tide

~

our deal with the dark

        is always in play

i stretch out there 

        sweating bleach

waiting for the time out

            the short death

            the hallucinations

        

   behind the privilege bricks 

        

   

OUTSIDE THE CAMDEN LOCK SKUNK FUNK

the national front

bomber jacket babies

surfaced streetside
to flog tired bile

& always 

they were heckled 

down down & away

by the greenpeace / cnd / big issue posse

outside the camden lock skunk funk

& suede jacket sales


~

i assumed progress was momentum

not a shrinking isthmus

oh my rosy glasses

ANALYSING OUR END FOR THEMSELVES

 

paradigm shift

priorities are

a rush to name it well

jacuzzis in the bunker

& apocalypse shows 

to saturate the tv streams

~

sociologists 

rub their hands / ring their hands

reach for the thesaurus

peer review

& gin 

analysing our end for themselves

SHOWER ROULETTE & MAINTAINING THE MEAT STREAK

clothes wash on in the washer

makes the old pipes conflicted

its shower roulette again -

waters hot then cold

           then gold

           then scald

           old fyodor 

          never had to 

        worry about that


~

my meat streak 

strongly suggests 

hibernation

& exhibits extreme confusion

& manifest limbic protest

at orders to the contrary

  

THEY FORGET WE THROW THIS SHIT AWAY & BONUS POPLINGS

theyre selling us 

sea plastic now

as ecological bangles

like they forgot 

we throw this shit away

~

trained & conditioned

we genuflect our credit

in 

the
holy heft of bargains

~

& my first hash

well i lay cliche

on a suburban lawn

star struck & immobile

with someone

i would never talk to again
