WRITING M.O. & DALI LAND

i write them

& rewrite them

& backtrack for backbone

& slip sideways

& jump north

& backtrack for clarity

& go blank 

& open doors

& wear a hat

& conjure dali land 

until i cant

not at all

& thats now

BRICK WALL MERCY

ham & spam
slapped on grinding bone

you shave it
you clothe it
you take it out there - they make you

& when you cant 

cant cant cant 

just cant anymore

they dont give any fucks

& at the brick-wall mercy 

of the medical charlatans

& the witch-hunt policy wonks

you become a bitter cog

a tarnished pinwheel

diminished in the numbers law

&

lost in the brown envelope rain

ILLNESS POP

cant think about it
cant

not about all i missed
all i will miss
all thats taken

~

cant think about it
cant

cos of the pills popped
&
cos of the safety locks
kicking in inside

~

adaptability i realise
(oh fuck)
is a strength & flaw
