PHONE ATTACK

the ringing phone
& the alarm of it
hot up the spine

is a cold sweat flashback

to the days of brunch rum 

& apocalyptic nerves

~

its on the tv tho

just a phone 

on the tv show

& the relief of it

like a great fart
of volcanic steam

~

my hiccupped psyche 

needs a long minute 

to buffer & reseat  

on these sofa cushions 

of assumed maturity
in the adultscapes weird dream 

OFF SWITCH ?

you know
when you
cant move
cant move
cant move

cant get up
why should you ?
& the alarm 
is being
such a cunt

but you do

its a common miracle

& it stays with you
that lead in the bones
that fug in the brainpan
all morning
all day

& when you do make it back
into 
the 
soft wonder thread count
its not the same

& you cant rest
cant rest
cant rest

fuzzy to-do list 
taped 
to your optic nerve

you twist there
a reject pretzel
wondering 
if there
is maybe 
an off switch

deep inside
your
colonic confines

ORIENTATION ANIMATION

the horrible singing 
  in
  my
fog-grogggy dream head 
  is 
intimate and close-loud
  but
  is 
only the alarms bad song
  and
  too late 
  too soon
anxiety has crawled out its cave
  to
  cook up
  a
hot-knot meal from nothing 
  and
  it
  devours it 
  and
  it
  savours it 
with hot sauce on its sticky claws
  deep
  down 
at the breakfast bar
  in
my early morning animal gut
  till
  i
fight it with logic and reason and evidence
  into 
    such 
      space 
        orbit
that
i'm
left
wondering
  these are my hands?
  and
  where ?
  why ?
  ouch !
  and
  what ?
