YEAH WELL I HATE YOU
all
the
madness
& horror
& bad skullfuckery
would make sense
could
make sense
if god would show up
& say
yeah well i hate you
but he
cant even
do that

ESSENTIAL EMBRYONIC
getting drunk
on
the authenticity
of the outsider
o
n the sidelines
of the mindgame
dance & buffet
in those essential embryonic times
was
a bunker
& soapbox
unassailable
& ready with razors
MICE OF OURSELVES
'You sound like youre from nowhere.'
David Goodis, The Burglar
we have made
mice of ourselves
afraid of
the machines above
no mind
the cannibal holocaust
behind the pastel dream
of the faded ads
on end terrace
masonry gables
sky pie for supper
in the babel shade

SO PORTABLE
plans dashed
by the cat
asleep in the chair
as comfortable
as if
he took his bones out
so portable
but
immoral
to disturb

CHALK & CHARCOAL
thick green roots
sutured
to the red brown brick
theres zen
in the weeding
in the cleanse
geese honk
in the chalk & charcoal
smudge of sky
black dogs
tow their people
in the uncertain wind

THE KETTLE & THE GARDEN CHAIR
think it
fart it
get it down
autoflo
leaving
the
head
out
of
it
one filed report
worth two
in the draft
& if it all sucks
call it gravity
& move past it
to the kettle
& garden chair
autoflo
tree awning
& hysterical birds
the bugs on table patrol

SILVER PROTEIN
the snail
leaves a trail
of carbohydrate mucus
& silver protein
essential
for
communication
like we leave
optic fibre
& burnt tar
essential
for
communication
if youve lived
out of
your car

FREEDOM TASTING LIGHT
bmx on the streets
moving
moving
moving
solo rider making time
hunting peace in motion
streetlights blinking on
teardrop tubing
mx brakes
faux-italian cursive
on my jumpers tit
the freedom tasting
light
when i tasted it

PADDED OUT WITH DEJA VU
forever has lost its reach
&
is padded out with deja vu
&
i
repeat myself
repeat myself
repeat myself
going round
like a clock
goes round
bloody allergy nostrils
flaring again
in spring again
at the redolence of murdered grass

RICH TEA & LUCOZADE
the rain is abrupt
here then over - a splashdown
maybe the gods
are testing their plumbing
they might have
a hard water problem too
~
& the traffic
going by on the wet top
sounds warm
like rich tea biscuits
taste warm
when youre belly sick
& self medicating
with original
red gold lucozade
& thorazine

MOTEL OF THE MIND
like on magnetic tape
the
flock wallpapers
delicate fibres
recorded the essence & lexicon
of
guests
long checked out
~
&
these ghosts & echoes
go about their days
in a looping playback
of overlapping samples
forever overbooking
me with memories
in the motel of the mind

SIXTY TWO MILLION DOLLAR MOVIE
his hand
is held flat
& reaching out
palm down
at least two yards
before he places it
on the bookstore railing
& swivels in the door
maybe this is to show
how he is always
one step ahead
or is
just
the
actors whimsey
&
this
was my only
takeaway
from
a 2 hour
&
62 million dollar
movie

REGULAR HORROR 14
but school was there
like clouds are there
monochrome uniform
monochrome chalkboard
cornering us in a spotlight
in the naked lunch of it all
solo runners on trial
in the playground courtroom
of fluid cliques
invisible laws
Thursday 4 April 2024
NARCISSISM FOR SURVIVAL
among other news
robots direct & patrol
the killing grounds hellscape
no wonder this generation
embraces the improved reality
of the photo filter drop down
their white picket fence
is in the handheld glass
that soft mirror
their minds can mould
& impossible bills
are piled up just so
& backlit as a backdrop
for another instagram shot
of a perfect lunch sandwich

REGULAR HORROR 6
nights obsidian shine
allows
dawns
grey
washcloth
in
like a parent
loosing a game
with a kid
on purpose
for a quiet life
Monday 1 April 2024
REGULAR HORROR 10
despite all the regular horror
on the phone & in the mail
i am getting up
when i can get up
& taking my coffee
in the gardens
lush overgrow
well fed &
medicated
clothed & unbombed
thanks to the coincidence gods
of the fortune crapshoot melee
