OXIDISED LIPIDS

poetry - 

wake up

be genius

go back to bed

dont see what the problem is


~

now its afternoon
flat sun & a stale heel

 

& what i wrote earlier . . .

well 

oxidised lipids is too kind

DYSTOPIA DREAMING

maybe

just maybe maybe

we ARE all born genius

( i think this with rare 

  & uncharacteristic benevolence 

  maybe they put something 

  in the water today ? )

~

but its Life -

its e x p o s u r e
its hardwired fuckery

the rampant chemical ebb & flood

that so so quickly

subtracts us away

to meatbags & gristle

moaning in the morningpods

at technologys hiccups

&

the dirt 

we put

in the rain

OILLESS - TUESDAY POPS

1.

i woke up

& most of it all
was a dream

&
i
cancelled
all
my
plans

that werent bars

deep in 
dusks hug



2. 


like
an
unbaked
potato

sitting on a chair

one lego
two lego

got no hair



3. 


thru
the
keyholes

theres sparse
electric sparks

keyhole glimpses
all
i
got  

big picture
too vast

survival puts blinkers on
&
pulls shut the shutters




4.

if
only
we
were
only monkeys

with our genius grip
ethically tempered

oilless
with eyes that see

we
would
know
the dolphins by now

& 
all
the 
whale kings

NO BLAME

i wouldnt blame her if she did as she said . . .
i
said
DO YOU WANT YOUR RED CLOTHES WASHED SEPARATE FROM THE WHITE ?
i
said
RACE HORSING
i
said
THE CAT LOOKS LONG TODAY
i
said
BLEH
i
said
an unrecognisable stream of consonants
i
said
______ thinking i already spoke
she
said
ENGLISH IS YOUR FIRST LANGUAGE DUDE ! 
AND YOU WANT TO BE A WRITER ! 
HOWS THAT GOING ?

i lay in the bath tub musing about how
i
really 
wouldnt 
blame her at all . . .

shes multilingual
an actual genius 
and
i
lay
in the bath tub
gazing at my belly hair 
and
how
it
explodes
below
and
drifts like seaweed in clear water
and
when i get up
it
clings
and
looks too much / too wild / too dark
so
i
wouldnt
blame
her
at
all
if
one
night
she
did
as
she
said
and mends me once and for all
with
a
club hammer to the skull
