LONDON DREAM

a london place 
  recurs 
  in dreams -

all its tourist places
all its famous places

stand in a single
convenient 
accessible 
postcard row

everybody is living
in one single 
immense
condensed
block of concrete flats

~

& it is a dark town
its bad fingers beckoning
across the slum pub bridges

across
the
red bus 
orange gravel 
parade square 

~

my shortcut home
everytime is always 
down on the tube tracks

me & the commuters down there

the rats down at our feet

the
trains
closing
in

ominous & scream-loud

~

i wake up

still down there

in danger 
in trouble
down there 

in the dark
down there

in recurring london dreams

TV POPLING, BUBBLES

hes 
newly clean
clean & new

in the park the sun is out

for him

~

bubbles kids blew 
float assured
on city thermals 

& 
his face 
is open 

weathered like nature is weathered

~

this scene
calls for
viewers
silent applause
&
they
cross
their
fingers
for him

toes too
&
knock on wood

on my limitations

mouth-sick cough on the night bus

goodbye suede jacket

barbed wire ?

where tho ?
farmers fields ?
a farmers field;
i had really really 
wanted to talk some
under-moon night-truth
with that solitary horse



white paint kind of everywhere-

walltop 
non-drying 
deterrent 
for sure

seen that enough to know
&
drunk & loose & jag'd
i MUST always gain height



muddy boots-

horse field (see above)
or estuary 'beach'
will smell them
yep;
estuary 'beach' (see pic below)


hard hat
section of train door
(unscrewed from beneath slide-down window)
lottery sign
(graffiti'd with Class War)
pint glass of unpretty stones
lowenbrau ashtray

souvenirs / play weapons / art / home decor 



varied intense loathing

hint of police

a blim of conflict

BABY SURVIVALIST

i remember when 
i thought i could
knock out a bear -

theres
this
tree down in gale

blocks my
sideways rain
bicycle commute 

two stuck drivers 
soaking me
mad jogger

lever it out the road
with physics
&
cooperation

feel 
like a mountain man
like lewis & clark

feel like theres no tv

& i remember
i felt like
i could
knock out a bear

SCHOOLS OUT

that
legally
required
hormonal clusterfuck
forcibly
shared

well we ran 
at the very last bell

from 
condensation windows
impossible heating

from 
scheduled gore
&
the javelin ambulance

ouija boards & weapons
left in the 
cdt lab

~

the strange bubble burst

( first disappointment -
  polyester ties dont burn )

briefly we were happily bereft

&
its
illegal now
to ever return

rose tint glasses
handed out
with your
first
p45

school shoes kept
for 
the
interview tree
