DEAR DIARY





the masonry of the town
boasts silently
by deign of its protrusion

& my black & locked samsung
is passive aggression 
writ flat & blank & lithium 

~

dear diary
today everything 
is humblebragging at me
& it all pulses with ego 

what mad sickness is this now ?

VULCAN FIRES HIS FORGE




among other news
the world is heavy 
on cringe & deflection
ego & projection 
orchestrated diatribe
& racketeering from the egg

& big machines turn
& the moon is thirsty
& innocent mammals
hunt landmines 
in the ivf dirt

i am weak at the shit of it

now heres pinochet
with the weather
where you are

CRATER & COPSE




yellow crime scene tape
striped black
is tugged tight round the trees
of your 
self esteems
crater & copse

& your ego

ignoring
forensic
findings

blocks the sun just so 

into another 

golden halo

OFF-CUT POPS, EGO, TRUTH & CHIMPS




& ego says
sans evidence

that any silence from the earth audience

is
cos
of
mind-blown awe


~


the truest thing 
i saw online 
this week was -

'help me, i'am awake !'


~


the truest thing
i read all week
was -

'...the ever increasing importance
    of my afternoon shit...'


~


if 
its against the rules
in 
the house of commons 
to 
declare someone Liar
then
maybe they should drop 
the 
right honourable prefix

so sick of their faces

hooting like chimps
on the green seats

TYPER IN THE WAY




ego was so epic

he had to put it out  
out there in the front yard

just to get a clean breath

& the rag & bone men
well they rang their hand bell
& they took it away

& Plastic Zen was born 

Id in the ice box
   music player on
   typer in the way

I SNOB



         its
          easy
           isnt
             it 
   to sit in a burger pit
 in a weird mall morning 
       like limbos own waiting annex
     and 
 judge the flaccid clientele there
    in market tops and nowhere trousers  
       while eating 
     the same grease as them
             and
 me with no job to go to either
         only pad and a pen 
      to draw a line between
                  my self-induced 
             higher purpose
   of writing-slob delusion
      and their assumed 
              salted earth
     stone-clad grief hole

           well
            i
             cant
              help 
               but 
 imagine the uninspired misery
   and stubborn catechisms
 of modern povertys tv-dull minds
        stinking
         like 
     unseasoned hamburger 
  in their laminated 
    galley kitchen arena
        and 
 any pledge i make
   to look with kinder eyes
        into their potted grey rainbow
          may
           last
 14 seconds
         as 
        disgust and sadness
 gives empathy and charity 
     a good slop out
  in the dredged canals and prison troughs
           of 
          my
    feedback loop 
     ego jag
           brain pan

AND HELL CAME



  back when i wore armour
  under a boozers moon
it
was
heavy
and
  i
would always
need more fuel

hell
saw
me 
then
vain glorious in the piss-alley
and came for my ego in legion

  now i am naked
  lighter 
  demobbed and half done
just
another
struggle-pup counting scars and stars
in 
our
seaside mongrel nation

NOTES TO SELF



1.

i
want
One Day
for
everyone i have ever known
to
witness / appreciate / even burst
at
my
Great Effort of Fumble Existence  

i
want
silent awe / drunken chants
gradual
building
applause 
and
solid reviews chipped deep 
into 
the
mountain stone of Mars


2.

must
stop
habit attempts
to
keep / hold / decode
the
WHOLE World and History and Consequence
in
my 
head

it wont fit / i'll die

must
learn
to
sit and stretch like a cat 
and 
rule my own smokey corner

let
World write itself / i'll jot footnotes
to
fold
into
paper boats / send down river

every
day 
at 
dusk
