STRANGE JOURNEY SUMMARY

was

a

slow

slide

into

a

poor mans rebellion

where

i

learnt how to not give an f-cake

about

any

f-cakes

at

all

& now

i may not be baking

but

i will add the cherries

if you bought any

& your heart is warm

MONDAY POPS, LOCKDOWN DIAGRAMS

we
wander
half-fucked now

in a fatalistic hue

&
theres
a
gulf
waiting
nightly
to
cross
quietly 

in the grayest shade 
of boat there is

~

the hard seats
in
the
soft gallerys
penny
peon
arcade

rock full & waiting

~

the highstreet
is panic blown 
& sunday'd

dropped shutters
rattle impatient 

in the dry wind
of
englands
still
hatchback garden

RAIN THEN SUN

WORLD SCARED, REDUX

im scared

about the world

its maybe tired of us...

should we get our coats ?

are you scared

about

the

world

too ?

~

it smells

of

inaction infection

of

last chances on futilities edge

to me

does it smell like that

to you

too ?

ARMOUR MOON, DEMOB REDUX

i always wore armour

under a boozers moon

as heavy

as its

forged past felt

& i called out

for

more fuel more fuel more fuel

~

hell

saw

me

then

vain-glorious in the piss-alley

&

came for my ego in legion

now i am

naked lighter demobbed half-undone

just one more struggle-pup

counting scars & stars

another scratch & sniff sinner

pretending hes won

under a losers moon

satan-lite & cherub thin

unfallen like rehab

sitting on the cement steps

of

our

seaside mongrel nation

CHANCE, GOLD LEAF REDUX

and

theres

a

chance

isnt there

that i might write something

in a shadow of gold leaf

on a gutter hubcap

if i unfold from out of bed

a man shaped cutlery ape

in the supermarket zoo

and

theres

a

chance

isnt there

that someone who may not be born yet

may see it may read it one odd day

on a museum-piece server

under a leaking tin-can megacity dome

and they might halfway feel something

and they might catch a glimpse of something

and maybe then write something themselves

something better

without tricks on loan

in whatever bio-wired plastic AI dream

we

have

left

for

them

under the mercury clouds

THE ADVENTURES OF A FORD CALLED DAGENHAM, NOIR REDUX

on my naked phone

disconnected by the fuckers uptown

and can stay there

for all i care

OTHER DRUMS (SLIGHT RETURN REDUX)

they lean forward

in that way they have

and you have to lean in too

to hear their words

and they always look away

in that way they have

those people who you know

arent really here

BREATH OF A HOUND / HIROSHIMA BREEZE

we could be
a n y o n e

in this 
slim crowd
midnight

this
cookie cutter

breath of a hound
quietly unsane

shadowland
ours
for the taking

&
i
am  tethered now
in
the

by

FULL WISDOM

Great Wisdom
& 
Full Knowledge

hip hop body-pop
at
my
picked fingertips
& tremble teasing
on
the
tip
of
my
dumb tongue

when all i am doing is -

observing
the
ancient
wrinkled
greatest
generation
have
tea from a pot
in a 
homeware shop cafe

so of course it doesnt last

the promise
was
maybe
only
a
caffeine mirage

all
thats
left
is

UNSPECIAL NOFLAKE

my razor edge mood
tumble falls with
the 
suns drunk pm lurch

biology whiplash
genetically
asymmetrical

~

these days
these days 
are built
of rough hewn chunks
of night blown teasers

& thats 
not so much poetry
as 
natural fact

like repeating limestone

~

& tho a pale smile
does comes 
with the
shadow moon

i feel mortal
&
i feel mass produced

an unspecial noflake
in
the
thin politic rain

a consuming unit
in
the 
compassion drought 

a pre-cinder
in 
the earth wind 
on fire

MONDAY POPFLOPS

there
is
something
ancient & bored
inside 
of me

it is never surprised

i think
it
must 
be 
my bones


~


bet that smells
like pork belly

he said
looking at the war

focus you fool
i said
& estimate its carbon footprint

youre
making
me
hungry


~


looking at the 
bright side
these days

well
its just the shadow 
of a scratched itch
