CANING WAS TRAINING

all the caning was training

for the hard second half

the training & caning made


regrets impossible
&
hindsight forever a lie

FORGIVE MY INARTICULATE DRAMA

'everythings SO hard
 cant say it simpler

 

 the EFFORT it all takes . . .

 

 & 

 everything has become 

 a Concept of Itself
 if that makes sense to you ?

 

 i fear i am depersonalised . . . 

 like an online photo montage'

 & we went from there
 on the lockdown phone

 therapy-
 well i enjoy the process

 & we covered bereavement
 & started on the stages of life

MONDAY POPS, LOCKDOWN DIAGRAMS

we
wander
half-fucked now

in a fatalistic hue

&
theres
a
gulf
waiting
nightly
to
cross
quietly 

in the grayest shade 
of boat there is

~

the hard seats
in
the
soft gallerys
penny
peon
arcade

rock full & waiting

~

the highstreet
is panic blown 
& sunday'd

dropped shutters
rattle impatient 

in the dry wind
of
englands
still
hatchback garden

BACK TO THE PLASTIC MACHINE GUN

writing
is the Hardest Easy thing
to do

see-
one profundism
&
i am stuck already . . .

back to the
plastic machine gun
&
its liquid crystal eye

& the words

my beautiful 
pain-in-the-arse 
friends

what weird route
have you booked for me today 
on 
your
little yellow 
mountain train

UNDER NO THREAT

when
i
stretch out & curl up
dormant in the days soft middle

& men gather outside
to drill & cut 
the hard streets
pocked skin

i pretend
its only
the
engine room rumble
of
an
adventure movie
tramp steamer

&
i
am
resting in the poop deck hammock
dormant in the days soft middle

under no threat
all problems solvable 
with a perfect smile

waiting on dinner
&
the
approach
of
land

FOUR POPS

we 
live 
like a row of terraces

invisiby different
till you go inside

look each other in the eye

and
dont
lie

~

its unusual

its night

i am awake inside the opiates
and
i
am
full
of
love

for you all

~

i write without drink

no
one
has
ever
done
a harder thing

ever

~

the footlights now
are
made
of
a
nuclear glow

the actors
confused & desperate
can
only
carry
on

CORNERS

you turn strange corners in your mind
and sometimes
something
opens something up 
in there

simple
as
a tinted limousines window rolling down

then
maybe
something wrong seems right now
or
something hard
is
now
as
easy
as
just
doing it - do it !  the obstacles are mirage

when youve turned a strange corner in your mind 
and
lit your brain like flourecscents 
clicking on over a sport halls rubber floor
you
wish
you
could
do
it
on order

everyday

for breakfast
