PM ZONE OUT VIDDY





men like grandad
die in the blood on the beach
in olive drab nascent denim

~

its odd what tv
we watch to relax

he thought

reconstructed war
his pm zone-out viddy

LOOKING APOCRYPHAL





when your reflection
looks wrong
looks colourised
looks apocryphal
&
looms like a hangover
out the dim glass
action figure perfect
& action figure wrong

you wonder

how was that
ever forged
into something
that worked ?

BLUE LIGHT WEEKEND (A MULTIPLE CHOICE POP)




my 
memories
are vignetted 
with encroaching brown

like 

a; park bench dusk

b; cataract smears

c; a dirty protest

or

d; the smoke damaged
   field trip
   polaroids

   we found in the geography room
   after all the school arson
   that blue light weekend

of the past

every morning

pissed

AUTUMNS DARK LID




in
the
morning parks
liminal hinter

the
golden merkin
of
dewy leaves

confer 
into light & colour
just about 
only just enough

strength to wrangle
wrestle & tangle
with the afternoons 
four o clock dark lid

SWEET JAM TO SWEETEN

 


seize the jewelled dawn
with whatever hands
the night leaves you

its sweet jam 
to sweeten
the steamrolled bullshit

of another 
flattened 
pancaking day

MIGRAINE HINTERLANDS




the plum trees
mad canopy

e x p l o d e s  
across the northern sky

& the lawns a green 
i have never seen

~

now i sweat blood

only just
this side 
of proverbial

when i try to think

MAGRITTE FIST




now the day is unday

cant-think chunk-blocks
like thick glass walls

& no flow - zenless

cos something bad happened
&
you
are
uncoping / clunky
in
the
wretched immediacy
of
its
magritte fist

EGGSHELL CHILDREN

 



i saved a snail
i saw struggling
on the hot cement 

&
wished
it
was
all the eggshell children
of
the
dangerous
world

but what can a poor boy do
but listen to a rock n roll band ?

TO PARAPHRASE DYLAN THOMAS A BIT





we do go gently 
into 
an anticyclonic gloom

straw grass 
razed to stubble
inside the electric tether

~

meteors & rage 
forked diluted
by bluelight nightlife

frail deeds 
forgotten drown
in the greenwashed bay

BIG ISSUES

 



make me feel
all
dumb
numb
&
down-low backwoods crazy 

like on the edge of panic
but in a valium bath

SAM BROWNE STYLE (TV FRAG POP)

tugged snug

 sam browne style

 
about the waist of the spy

MORNING REPORT 105





autumn memories
are layered up in me
like an onion

& the late sun
like knives
will dice it

into an album 
of dusk cafes
& numb commutes
