ABOUT A TSHIRT

'daddys
 got his
 big boy
 knickers on'

rages the twisted dude in the awful film

but thats no matter

anyway as

i am absorbed
by this tshirt 

i dug out

from long ago & musty stasis

its on my lap now

& i finger its guts

it is hard-packed 

with drinking ghosts 

& smells of the silt

of an old depression

PROP SATCHEL CLEARLY EMPTY

he wears four maybe five layers
& maybe a cap 

maybe a loose scarf

she wears one layer
& if a cardigan 

then its made of nothing

in the hollywood film tvs

where the funerals

are always autumntime

the rusty leaves blown 

under perennial trees

PICASA MADRIGALS - MOVIE POPS

EU REFERENDUM DAY 2

a long night

sleepless

thunder and floods

one red eye
on
the
news

this morning
its quiet

suns out

the cat hides in the jungle of the lawn
&
next door theyre watching paint dry

but 
i wonder what happened
&
what will it mean
&
what will fall down next
&
all the easy pop
on
the
radio
sounds more poignant today

i
wish
i
didnt care

like 
a cat 
a bird

or
a
tramp
steamer
in an adventure film
