OTHER DRUMS (SLIGHT RETURN REDUX)

they lean forward

in that way they have

and you have to lean in too

to hear their words

and they always look away

in that way they have

those people who you know

arent really here

BEDROOM LANDS 2

BOAT DRINKS

how to catch 
a time that 
was cliche-shrouded 
in accelerator mist
in
even
its
own happening day ?

give it a name-
Boat Drinks

gave it a name 



IMPROMPTU ASHTRAYS

soft acre
bedroom lands
fuzz tone
hash brigade
call and find a slot

bear corner stragglers
bottle shop delayed
knock and sit and vent

all make
cellophane 
ashtrays
from fag pack sleeves
with 
yellow retail fingers
blue pizzahut plasters
stuck
on
stub nub string pick thumbs
learning neil young

anything at all
on the CRT TV dust




STEP AWAY
FROM THE
REM

i got a new cd
play this now for me

i would say

to a bedroom full
of amateur guitarists

subtext was-
you lot
dont know shit
about music

listen to the production
i would say
listen to the lack of production
i would say

listen to the drums
listen to that guitar sound

listen how they did it
way back when

now
step away
from
the
REM

HABITS

in the flat hours of day
belly
nerves
arrive
and
drum an empty hum of menace - a headache wallpaper 
of 
endtimes anxiety and nothingness fear
timid
but
balls-out
thumping 
the 
skins
and 
watching the show

i talk myself down from hard wired bad design/a habit now 

like
squinting hard and frowning tight
just
to
remember the date-numbers and year
cos
it
looks
like
no
time
id
ever
live
in
at all
