NOR COMIC HEROES ON

they dressed 

us in black & grey
no colours 

nor comic heroes on

they put us 

in stiff shoes
for us 

to polish them too

when we were small 

& had no voice

& hiding was the best game

DELIRIUM TAPAS VOL 14

 

previously
self-evident
recognised
absurdities
are fact now

internet killers 

ready their rented vans 

sparkies tape

on the b&q 

billhooks grip

~

theyre all somebodies heroes

in 

a 

crabapple echobubble fucknut sphere

martyrs to madness

singing the delusion blues

satellites indifferent

to the atlantic cables

CAFE AND NEWSPAPERS

1.

newspapers
bingo distract and fear control 
  a sleeping mass
  of unused might
  that
  could 
  be Heroes

  if
  informed and taught 


2.

  the tesco cafe
is 
full 
of
unplucked
sketch show characters
  
they
  rot inside invisible
  like
  angels - gin soaked / useless and forgotten
  on
  a 
  Bowery stoop


3.

  i always look at the empty cafe tables
for
abandoned
newspapers
  tho the twists and lies
  will give me hives
  and
settle
a
black despondancy 
and
blue hopelessness
over
the
day
