BLESSING ON THE LEDGE

its all kill kill kill

out there 

on the earths red meadows 

& behind the meat of hills

but

remember
all the times
we didnt nuke ourselves ?

slim comfort 

in marigolds

punk blessings 

on the ledge

FOOD IN TOWN

& with fingers
too tired for caution
you
pick
thru
the consequence buffet
as
its
the only food in town

THAN CANADA GOOSE

it is 

an act
of kindness & charity
& 

of detached anthropology

to listen
to my neighbours
confused bark

( in the hatchback front gardens

  on the block paving of love )

& i feel like 

an attenborough of the street

more new balance tho  

than cananda goose

FROST LOST GROUT

i become but 

napkin notes

written in the titans hand

even the 

blueprints now

are losing their ink

everything  has  come  apart

meaning & heart & thrum

gone on the 

zodiac wind

i become 

a loose selection

from the periodic table

anyway that was monday

SEASONAL OLFACTION EVOCATION

out 

of 

the
springwinters
struggling egg
comes muggy june

& 

again my nose tells 

my brain all about

the sigh of morning weed
on the bacon roll breeze

& the pagan steampunk

costume raffle
of a barter town night

ESPLANADE

land
of the
jogging pant

& home of the played

hooded hormones
rev the hot hatch

on the casino esplanade

MOUNTAIN IN PERU

seven colours
make up the mountain in peru

&
it
has
no
obligation

but to the tantós of the sun

~

perspective jam

on reality toast

see how the crumbs

special like snowflakes

strike out on their own

REGULAR HORROR 8

monday morning dread 

took sunday hostage

made it a hollow unthing

with a shadow like the moon

~

then theres everywhere 

soft debris to salvage 

in the high hectic desert 

of the weeks electric blue

 

GRAB BAG OF BARDOS

bare foot on the grass

& thinking of bakersfield

feeling

feeling

the weather

salem moon out

in the chambray sky

& a comfort tvs

grab bag of bardos

in 

the 

afternoon chair

ANAXAGORAS IS NOT ON FACEBOOK

 

the universal minds
downloader
keeps buffering on me

& its messing up 

my upload
turn around

reckon it needs 

a hefty bug fix

cos of all the stupid

but i dont know who to call 

anaxagoras is not on facebook

& hegel died just to be proper

INSOMNIA HAIKU 11

night food / morning crumbs

legs & arms 

are amps & volts

frozen river time

HELLO WORLD

when every morning

i go to the window

& i draw the curtains

& i rest my hands on the sill

& i see the houses there

& their cars calmly grazing

i look it all in its glass eyes

& say

hello world

the lack of applause
always disappoints

VERDANT OVERGROW

our famous roadside litter

is submerged now

inside the verdant overgrow

the shrubs & bushes 

are excited / i can feel it

its spring & beautiful

~

council cuts 

mean no cuts
on the medians & verges

& its looking like
the walking dead
out there to me

AFTERGLOW QUIET

fog horns
on the thames
sound organic

creatures mournful
about the grey 

of it all

call out
for
agreement

get 

afterglow

quiet

OR BUBBLEGUM

but was a baby
like we all were

before 

being

s t r e t c h e d 

on

the 

rack of the world

like a dali clock

or bubblegum

& pumped full of filler

& cheap grout that stains

~

always 

wondering

what day 

today is

& 

how it was

that we used to know

DIFFERENT DRUMMINGS

walking up our street

theres a woman
at sunrise

out loud saying 

a good morning
to the small people

i assume behind 

the low garden walls

that i cannot see

~

& watching 
i am listening

to my own dawn chorus

of cosmic country

no one else can hear

SCHOOL DAZE

the school boy
gave the thin kid
foil wrapped flour
as a riff
on his junkie appearance

but
was mocked
for his trainers
that fastened
with velcro

round the music room corner
at the end of lunch
years ago

GRANDADS KEYRING

thoughts
like 

thin milk

are salted 

with 

ground yestergems

& keepsakes 

from
grandads keyring

FIVE MINUTE GOWPEN

 

& everywhere
nascent possessions
posit that themselves
are the bonnaroo

& here they barrel in
hot for unboxing

& their fifteen min gowpen
of a gushing febrile fan

that fades
like a snake glides
into a dark pool
