GUTTER ROYALE

kitchen table

orange mug

winter fly

yellow thoughts

& you - 

a full-on adult 

& feeling it for once

are leaden & sodden

with

the 

horrible knowledge & mdf wisdom 

of your decades cheap stockades

gutter royale

moon & all

THE GREYSCALE LEAVES, FRAG POPS

under the same sky
where warplanes fly
i walk the pale dawn

agog & grounded

kicking the greyscale leaves

~

its a terrible wonderful world
& we are safe we think
on the western islands
in our bells of mist

~

now the fire in my knees

is extinguished

by wading thru

the soup

in the hall

a trail like smudged pencil

i imagine as my wake

PILL BOX POP No38

 

cos

miracles

dont happen

 

but never

my ordinary darling

hold tight, let it go

 

forget

to

exist

just fly

 

ODE TO A FLY

oh youre one 

inquisitive fly

what do you know
of black mirrors & acrylic paints ?

oh inquisitive fly

that shade is called Mars Black
if youre interested

learn fast 

inquisitive fly 

learn fast

for you shall be 

dead by dinner

& dust by dawn

FLYING LOW

satellite skies
&
tv eyes

over us -

mortal meat-motor pies

bound up in 
bogus satin 
& 
sweaty highs

&

one
   collective
             drunk 
                  undone 
                        fly

A MONDAY TWOFER

1. CARBON CHESS MOVES

2. A BOOZE POP

BIRDS QUADROPOP

the all-night birds
are loosing their rag
in
the
orange 
city
twilight

~

i see a bird
i watch him fly

i
will
never knowingly
see
him
again

~

the dawn racket is 
HUGE
the birds are 
HAPPY 

without 
coffee
or
the mall

~

birds 
broadcast 
their simple headlines

with
no
agenda
slant

or
money
