SOFT OFFICE MUSING

NAVY BACON

middle aged man

bits like bacon

his attempted epics
an
obsolete navy
in
the
bottomest of g-plan drawers

chain of command
in the 
gunwale
gutters



YELLOW CV

on a yellow post-it
he writes

cv
unkilled 
innocent 
culpable

he knows
its destined for landfill

so he adds that too

destined for landfill

& throws it
where 
the worn socks
go

blood gone under
the
troubled bridge



PLASTIC ZEN

his unapologetic pragmatism
comes
out
like a drywipe whiteboard smear

Plastic Zen ! 

he cries
refusing to define it
for reasons
he refuses to give

strange bedfellows
strange case

he lays down
bridge over
troubled blood



SOFT OFFICE

inside
the
soft office of bad naps
he
rhetorically semaphores
ambiguous questions 

with
the
delicious

admiralty grey

jersey sheets

the press
&
the public
imaginary resentful
