HOSPITAL TEA BREAK POP #1

 

blue-light 

back gates 

smoke break

i see a cow

a tractor
three separate rats 

& the air smells of ambulance diesel

& farmers ammonium sulphate fertilizer  

& we drink coffee from unwashed mugs

& stare vacantly at the traffic flow 

treading water

in the ebb 

of another ten AM

EVEN JUST A BLIM

art before chores
art before youre dressed

art before voyeuristic vicarious

online viddy & earwigging

even if its just a blim
of a homeless thoughtscape headplan 

even if its looking up art
in the dictionary

& reading the definition

& thinking about the definition
& rewriting the definition much better
in your mind where no one can see

even if its composing a poem 

like this one

while pissing & leaning on the tiles

mind freed & untethered

by biological drainage & release

NOTE TO HANDLER

i apologise
for the brevity
of recent reports

it is challenging
to parse salience
from the current derangement

& i am struggling
to contain the feeling
that i have seen it all before

know that going forward
i plan to hold space
& divinate essence there

thank you for

your continued faith

in my strange reportage

A CUT UP OF THE MIND

an
otters stone

the great
cauldron of sky

waiting
on the doctor
to call

MORNING LAWN

on the morning lawn

i genuflect to nature & mortality

if genuflection

is drinking coffee

& sitting

like the thinker

rigid & bowed 

in galaxy sized angst

out of sleep & already inside

the onion of the day
