THREE MINIPOPS



  
who wouldnt 
want to watch 
danny kaye films

someone called me

an automatic poet

unsure

meant

the race to save rare gulls is on


~


write from a place 
between plan & accident

placcident ?

must i keep giving after nature
with a gift in my will ?

NO ANSWERS BEFORE LUNCH





me & day degrade enough
get into it deep enough

despite 
the 
greylight
drivetime
garden tool whine

for 

lunchtime 
answer
of
heroic carbs

eaten

deep
in
brown envelope rain

DAWN QUESTIONS





dawns 
groundhog day 
ground zero
ambiguously greets

the red berry bush
its xmas cherries
its blips of sin 

in baby blues 
in fat dove greys

striped 
jailbar 
black

antimatter bars band 
the cracked cement

~

it
asks
me
one thousand
offensive
questions

like a charity mugger
crazy on good intentions
& good methedrine

i tick NA
&
return to sender

in big red
crayon blood

~

well dawn
you knackered my mind
with your 
relentless
regular
routine

its a knackered 
steel wool ball now
all crammed & gummed


it 
feels 
like magrittes apple
when 
the 
dolls come home

GREMLINS 2, FOOTNOTES





the
gremlins 
are
camping out
in 
the 
radar holes

& its all so DONE isnt it ?

whats special to me
is special to millions


~


diluted masses
creative efforts 
instantly
&
suddenly
in hot competition
with
the
top slots held solid
by
the dead masters
&
suicided virtuosos

only footnotes now
up
for
grabs
for 
us
