BEDROOM LANDS 3

bedroom lands-
gone where 
the past goes 
when it goes

now-
coasters on walnut
in  
living rooms
empty acres

us- 
aged carbon
crying to
arcade fire

~

bedroom lands-

weird truths
came out of
unguarded accelerator minds

those nights-
we broke them
till
dawn

dawn-
golden grime
carnivorous

~

island kingdoms
bedspread empire

pillow battlements
where i
found my name

and / but / then

money trumps time 
drink trumps money
in
scheduled
bottleneck 
ambush

lost innocence
corrupted memory
is
storage

EXHAUSTION SOLUTION TEST 1A - TEST 1A UNSUCCESSFUL

OFFCUT POPS 2

with an
ambulance rug
the cop shields
THEM
from mutant swarms 
and flashbulbs

shields US
from
guilty eyes
faithless mistake

whats NOT in there
left for court sketchers
to pastel over

big house
solution
so often isnt

~

the rivers
WERE
the same and
always different

now-
crested
with
miniature
plastic

murky and agony

heave like oiled beach muscles
in
a
flash flood anniversary
petrol station bouquet

mercury trout
imbibed a
fukushima gene
that
put
the
rainbow out

BEDROOM LANDS 2

BOAT DRINKS

how to catch 
a time that 
was cliche-shrouded 
in accelerator mist
in
even
its
own happening day ?

give it a name-
Boat Drinks

gave it a name 



IMPROMPTU ASHTRAYS

soft acre
bedroom lands
fuzz tone
hash brigade
call and find a slot

bear corner stragglers
bottle shop delayed
knock and sit and vent

all make
cellophane 
ashtrays
from fag pack sleeves
with 
yellow retail fingers
blue pizzahut plasters
stuck
on
stub nub string pick thumbs
learning neil young

anything at all
on the CRT TV dust




STEP AWAY
FROM THE
REM

i got a new cd
play this now for me

i would say

to a bedroom full
of amateur guitarists

subtext was-
you lot
dont know shit
about music

listen to the production
i would say
listen to the lack of production
i would say

listen to the drums
listen to that guitar sound

listen how they did it
way back when

now
step away
from
the
REM

QUESTION IT

BEDROOM LANDS 1

DIFFERENT 
BEDROOM

same take-out number
scratched on a 
different stash box

different tv remote
on the same cd pile

playstation controllers
scattered 
around
the secrets under the bed



BEDROOM
LANDS

cordless
landline

calling
carpet witnesses 

in the bedspread rye



DENIM
HALLELUJAH

new music to show
hash blims to share

walkman loaded
for the night time
to and fro

NEVER
enough
cigarettes
tho

in the 
bedroom lands
kipple array

of the 90s
denim 
hallelujah 
days

FROM THE BOOK OF THE FUTURE

OFFCUT POPS 1 - SAWS

the history rings 
in a record tree
thats never cut down

still
go
round

silent argument
layered over
offered opinion
invisibly coexisting

safe from saws forever
on a 
peerage
croquet
grouse house
lawn

~

the found tumour
inside killers
bonesaw mind

filed in crime museum backroom
under 'satan gland'

and uncut antiheroes 
tread water
undiagnosed
in the riptide public pool

~

we-
kill 
to know

they-
learn braille
on
death row

crash helmets gas grill 
and juiced striptease law
saw down incendiary boughs

that
fuel our 
monkey fire

NATURE POP

god
forbid
i
unwittingly reverse
into
a
reserved parking spot
at
the
intelligent design
activities center

but
the silhouettes
of
sky born seagulls

well theyre 
just like
calligraphic strokes

freed fragments
of
fountain pen cursive
escaping over 
the bungalow tiles

and
they
blow
my
weak and loaded
jelly and formica
haunted pork
mind

WRITING POST

relegated crowded corners
empty of troubadours and friends

suck it
use it

yellow page overspill
damp with repurposed
crooners and enforcers

a tigress
on a tv morning sofa
calls time out
on the endless night

suck it
use it

receive a writing post
in the crapshoot fallout
of academy failure

standard issue black dog
humps at your leg

suck it
fake it

a coronation crown
of derelict farm mist
laid without ceremony
on your soft tissue fog bank

abandoned mental ward gloom
loams and foams
where heartwood should be

suck it
wear it

rattle your rockets
in your mfi silo
and 
launch a nasa challenge 
into the giddy
mouth-breather wind

and if you find it all 
a stagnant informant pool
with nets and mops and drags 
stacked in veteran formation

suck it
use it

and pin old dirt
like beacons like badges
on
the
new sores
rich vein
within

BLESSING

a
blessing
of
age
endurance
and
toxicity
is
that
i
cant
remember
the
name
of
that
box of cocks
who
sat
next
to 
me
in
chemistry
1985

~

him-
left
for
another
school

both us-
turn
up
at
drug parties
social archipelago
199?

~

him-
in a 
look-at-me
move
put
moondance 
on

wept
all
the
way
thru

told
everyone
reminded
him
of
special
times

~

me-
not
chemistry
1985
is
it ?

you box of cocks

i wanted to say

instead-
dude
theres
better
van morrison
to
lose
it
to
than this

~

later-
drove
me
to
within
two miles of home

him-
look-at-me move
said
not enough
speed
in him
to drive

taking
a
risk
this straight
he says 

me-
got
out
on
motorway verge

ignored
hints 
for
gas cash

plucked my joint
out his mouth

and
never
saw
him
again

the box of cocks
