SUMMERS END PT1

in the car -

coffee & 

cannabis &

watching the also-rans run around

& the water colour sky 

bleeds sunburst 

in great washes 

of god-light

over the livid bruise 

of rain clouds

& the flat slate stack 

layer caked inbetween

another retail park afternoon

appetites to sate 

at summers end

SILVER PROTEIN

the snail
leaves a trail

of carbohydrate mucus 

& silver protein

essential
for
communication

like we leave 

optic fibre
& burnt tar

essential

for

communication

if youve lived

out of your car

VAN MANS VAN DOOR SLAM

the morning is quiet
but for the mad birds
meat techno

the cars make their noises

in the crater 

in the road

& the van mans 

van door slam

triggers 

anxious

dogs

DESPERATE FOR A SIGN OF LIFE

TAKE 1

in the night dearth

drunk & mad

id refuse to go in
refuse to stop

until id seen 

a moving car
a person

a sign of life

beyond the hedgehogs
the night cats

or me

TAKE 2

in the night dearth
drunk & mad

shouting at the moon

arms full of stolen gnomes

id refuse to go in

refuse to stop

until i had seen

a dog walker

the milkman

a shooting star

piss drying

in the street corner

transformer station

JUST LIKE THE REST OF US

   and god 
   
   he 
   thinks 
   hes 

piecing together 
another premadonna
in his giant playground game

    when
    hes
    just 
  lost his car

    just
  like the rest of us

somewhere in the night time 
     shopping mall 
     carpark city

and 
forgotten all our names

BOT POP

 robots live
   already

   in
 the car dash parking

    inside
 the kitchen island washing

   up 
  in  the sky
 walking calculated circles
   &
  targeted arcs
    always watching

already  they haunt 
   the empty history of space
 towels down on mars beach loungers 

 give them their faces already
so they might know 
         love

 and
choose 
 a
side
