ANNIHILATION OMNIBUS

all channels
all nets

into the annihilation omnibus
rode
the
eight billion

scientific sun
& atom tan

~

labubu pokemon & me

telling tall tales 

of VPNs & television

on the glass coast

of a boiling sea

OVERHEARD IN MY NOTEBOOK

the whole Unfinished School thing

[he says 

 half on the nod

 in his retirement chair]

was an happenstance creation

& little to do with minimalism

but about running with the muse  

[he makes finger pistols

 aiming nowhere particular]

think of it as a tactical reload

& a deadly allergy to the baroque

ossuary
meat ossuary

notebook on my buffed canvas knee

the colour the woods 

look at night
in the light 

of mad yellow flames

NOTEBOOK ON MY KNEE

i write OLD
five times
in the notebook
on my knee

& then TIME
seven times
with this pen
that the nibs
gone all feathery

& next is war
& i write that like a whisper
like this would make
all the tanks & planes
turn into whispers too

& last BOLLOX
eight times
one for each season of the year

AS I WAS OPEN TO ADVICE & IDEAS

i was reading the posts
from a poetry account
& one said

'dont make yourself the hero of your poems'

& i laughed so loud
all the birds took flight
from off the telegraph wires

then the police came for me
but i hid
& fought them after dark

BLUE HOUR, THREE MINI POPS

we have to dig deep
then dig some more

under the nose of dawn

& the stulm of the day

to endure indelible 

in the blue hours ennui

~

the detectives comb
the old asylum land

concrete edifice ratland now

& a bereft mothers clique 

holds council in the ruins

~

& a radiograb - 

minnie the moocher
playing high up in my skull

call & response 

three orange whips

& all
