I THREW OUT MY JOGGING SHOES TODAY AND OTHER POPS

we inhabit a strange world
and why not why not
why not have all the shop fronts say chicken
and all the others be bookies
with the bank out of town
even kfc ran away

~

i throw out my jogging shoes today
i will not wear them again

their soles rubbed loose by the cement rush
became dried and cracked with rest

~ 

i watch a war film  
it enables some compassion
and
i wonder if we are all gods
lost in accident 

i watch a sci fi thriller
and 
i grasp a tattered fringe 

 of 
 Understanding

under turning rainbows
from the crystal
hung in the window

~

now my shit
well it doesnt stink of shit today
it smells of death fuel
a forever compost
of pills and roses

~

we inhabit a strange world
we are space waste doing time in a skin bag
washing
always washing
in all the wonderful water

and

under turning rainbows 
from the crystal
hung in the window

why not
