BROADCAST TINNITUS

my essential work

of filing reports 

is hampered now

by the heavy static

of broadcast tinnitus 

& the nerve damage 

from the death tv

FRIDAY POPS AGAIN

WASTE OF LIFE

all the disasters
on the death tv

you think-
what a senseless
waste of life

and all the people
the teeming uniform people
in the rush hour streets

you think-
what a senseless
waste of life



COFFEE CHOICES FOR A SICK MAN

its a big cup o stress

black as winter night

risk
the
overdrive shakes
the
worry nerves
the
bursting of the heart

to
get some words down
to 
brush my teeth

or
lay
this side of obsolete
waiting
for
a
big
big
mythical
spring



LIKE A FULL STOP

just
a
man
laying down

on his
sunny bed
of fate

self fulfilling prophecy
boxed up
like a full stop 

ready for long term 
attic

CORPORATE POPS

PINSTRIPE DRAINPIPES

ceos are manson
in
golf
shoes
&
abercrombie

i see 
the family
funnel down
lombard st
in
the
5 pm

in the wine bars
of
fenchurch ave
lime st
&
at davys in unit 8

in their pinstripe drainpipes
they choose from over 40 wines
while i count my pennies
for
the
southbound
underground 



THE GOBLIN

did the goblin ever admit
his
manson lamps
were
rasputin eyes ?

there aint nobody i cant touch on the nose

he
still
says
2012
his flip flops on ebay

& if i can touch you i can kill you

which 
all 
sounds 
pretty corporate
to me




BONUS GRAVY

theres foxes fighting
in
the
chicken shack

fighting for superyachts
shale gas
and
the
shopping compulsions
of 
the 
biomass billions

& all the smashed eggshells

are
just
acceptable collateral
&
bonus gravy

are
just
our
lives & children 




ONE CHOICE TOWNS

& theres bomb factories
propping up the marginals

sold as solid employment
in one choice towns

( &
  i 
  wouldnt
  say 
  its 
  not . . . )

but
how
is 
that 
good enough ?

good enough 
for the hearts 
that dont weep
to see the seaside

rolling death tv
on the 
beach cafe
flatscreen

& brown froth coming in
on the plastic tide

EVEN GOOD BOMBS ARE BAD

be the change 
you want to see 
in the world . . .

i 
get
it

it
sounds 
ok

sounds
good

achievable

but is it 
sop for our 
conscience

or could 
it really 
work . . ? 

~

so im nice
to my neighbour
even
when 
he
brings up
his pet subject
of those blockpavers
those romanian blockpavers

and all the stolen vans

( the dimlo arsehole Sun-faced beer-sack )

i guide him away
with soft disagreement
like
hes
a
simple child
parroting a bad uncle 
so 
it 
doesnt become a Thing

and
anyway
it
all
falls down
at the next news broadcast

its bombs galore again

on 
the
death tv

~

i propose
instead
we all
paint roses

maybe even everyday

because
hitler 
was the change
he wanted to see
in the world

soon
after 
he had stopped
painting roses

WESTERN PRIVILEGE

something 
pins
the
quiet avenues down / paints them like Trumpton 

something keeps the chaos 
 out 
 the
 consensus cul-de-sacs 
keeps our Blue Velvet picket fences
 clean
 and
 Stepford

 despite the planned collateral 
of 
conceit / bombs / flags
 on 
 the 
 death 
 tv
