WAIT, YOU GET A MANUAL ?

earth

where nothing is sacred

every perversion is justified

the cheese & the noise 

or an army & a name 

tho they dont put that

in the manual do they ?

but just look 
at the ragtag cornucopia 

of the night city scenery 

& hilltop views

& the small people there

hearts mountain big

praying in the dirt for a dream

MONDAY POPS AGAIN

FORDS DREAM

i
dream
of
a
generation

two generations

three

where
no one
joins any army
anywhere

i
dream
of
being
INSIDE
a song suite

of the quality of
cohen or cave

i
dream
of
leaving
britains green and pleasant land

in better hands

i dream
of
peace of mind 

for me
when i go



MAELSTROM IN AN ALMOST VACUUM

divorced
movie scenes

orphan
song fragments

crowd my childs
fragile 
       eggshell 
               mind

when
i
try
to
unravel past fuckery
and
let be
the
missed dimensions



STARDUST ?

the
sky
is
a
featureless smudge

ennui personified 
hangs low up there

i
came
from
stardust

for this ?



REAL CHILLS ON HOLD

hollywood sunshine
on the forever tv
keeps
the
real
chills
at bay

waiting
for
the
alone time silence
to dance its jag

TWO DOORS DOWN

the ambulance came
for
the
man
two doors down

one of those ambulances
thats just a car
with lights and yellow on

and the blues were flashing
and i heard them coming
but once out the car
they seemed to be
in
no
rush
at all

the man two doors down
got prostate cancer
got bone cancer

but
hes
only
taken
away
for an infected knee

cos hes tough as a dozen old boots

and theyll let him out 
when he can walk again
and i hope to see him again
going for his paper 8 AM

~

i see his son in the street

he now lives where 
they filmed heartbeat
he says

i been 24 yrs in the army
he says
maybe 4 or 5 times

n ireland
FN FALs at dawn
under end terrace murals
jammed inside the empires folly

then hazmat training
bomb disposal

demobbed in yorkshire
straight back in 
as an instructor

abroad again
as
an
independent contractor 

but can he talk
his mum and dad
into
accepting
a
twice daily council care plan ?

can he bunnies 

theyre from 1928
might as well be mars

or the hebrides

WERD ARMY

every day
all day
is
a
fight/a vicious battle
with
the
clock
the
boss
the
soft machines limits
to 
annexe the kingdom of control
and
hold
the
hills of clarity
with
expression
and
minor
utterance
of
truths
proofs
and
reports
against
advertisers
newspapers
and
dumb generations
repeating
dim werds
of
previous
dumb generations

werd army - short hand for danger
and
a
lamb
in
camo
