AGAIN THE SCREEN AGAIN




morning again
&
i approach it again
the screen again
the words again
the wrestling again

plundering any memory
out the knots of the past
for proof of the now

puffed up with coffee & nicotine
next to a still cats snores

~

grey spring day
school morning
& the PE teacher
got the javelins out

for the last time
as it goes
their hi vis tape
faded to a joke

well next we got moved on stat
& out of the ambulances way
expected to go saw balsa wood
like nothing happened at all

ENTROPY BEIGE




the
urge
itch
& need
to 
make something be here
that wasnt here before

is unexplainable
to anyone
who never looks at the sky

~

i makes a mess on another canvas
in the morning breeze & sun
scraping the thick colours around
& covering up again
the layers of form
the layers of chaos
into a thick 
smear & pebbling
of summer bugs & entropy beige

BAD NEWS ANTIDOTE - SMALL TOWN FLUFF 1




written as a a reaction 
to the horror & toilet
of global news'
seamless rolling hysterical misery
i present bland events
i call Small Town Fluff

~

everyone is unsurprised
when the bagel place on the corner
shuts after only a
 year

everyones suspicious are compounded
as the vape shop up the road 
expands into a unit twice as big

& the weather is like yesterdays weather
& no one has been hurt
& cats watch from windowsills
the dogs walking up the park

LENOR, MIXED MEDIA & NOTE TO SELF

 



the
fresh
washing
smells
alternatively
of 
an idyllic storyland spring
like a forest mammals tea party
that sort of thing
the breakfast room of a devon b&b 
with triangles of room temp toast
in a wire rack


wait / hang on / remembered something -

Note To Self -

wondering why 
the art term Mixed Media
seems to rub me wrong

no clear reason
must think on this further

i mean the worlds mixed media too

KICK




i put the record on
& its 
bright & right there
& full of a memory

movie-sunny saturday
train to the coast
sta prest trousers

(knock-offs from behind the market
 follow the path
 of rain stained cardboard 
 & heavy bin stink
 & go up a staircase like a secret
 with the smoothest wooden handrail
 & loosest carpet runner)

& hair gel like shellac
gone fly-away by lunch

nineteen eighty something
school almost done
