CREATES AN ILLUSION

a boxfresh outfit
or as boxfresh as i get
helps clear out
the fog upstairs
& creates an illusion
of order & prep & pep

until the cat
gets hungry
& gets friendly
& rubs his shedding summer coat
all over my twill wale
& puma suede

no matter
i am only sitting in the morning chair
sunlit on the houseplants
& hair everywhere

HANDS BLUFFING ON THE LAMB

yes

the past has already had you

& some settling of contents
may have happened in transit

but the future is hungry too

& may contain nuts

yes


~


play the long game
in the long dusk
with rainbow lego
& poundshop knives

prophets in your back pocket
hands bluffing on the lamb
until dinner time
& you wash your hands . . .

faux famine panic
in the cats green eyes

COOKIE CUTTER EGO VEHICLE

i am old enough
movie-jaded enough

cynical & hungry enough

to overcome my initial dismissal

& appreciate the comedy sidekick

the hundredth time around

if the talent is sound

in the 

cookie cutter

ego vehicle

hollywood

sequel

landscape

OUR GLOBE THEIR WHACKAMOLE

the hungry pile up
against the contractors fences

one way cash
nowhere people

need a cow catcher mama
to clear a red carpet path

~

our globe

 

their iphone whackamole

if that

HUNGRY HUNCHED & ANGRY

 

i napped hungry
hunched & angry

furious with noise

&

i 

slid like grease

into

the
acid horror
of 

the
hypnagog zone

under fifteen blankets

the fan on full

MONDAY POPFLOPS

there
is
something
ancient & bored
inside 
of me

it is never surprised

i think
it
must 
be 
my bones


~


bet that smells
like pork belly

he said
looking at the war

focus you fool
i said
& estimate its carbon footprint

youre
making
me
hungry


~


looking at the 
bright side
these days

well
its just the shadow 
of a scratched itch

IN CODE

epic irritation
is
roughly cuffed
&
shoved
down
the fritzl basement stairs

my inner reporter
staking me out

~

mindfulness
wrestles
bubble wrap
inside
my
tired time bomb 

both deflate
but holding

&
any lessons escape

real ghosts
in the 
halloween 
fracas

~

dark appetite 
night hungry
vampire virus 
attempted remission
from moon action

mainly
for
shits & giggles

bodies 
left out
on the 
milk train 
rail tracks

for nectar points multiplier

~

this
systems
effectiveness
is
endlessly
debatable
& 
dodging peer review

captains 
drop knives
&
pull guns

but agree tho

that the days
are numbered

but always
in code

MORE THOUGHT POPS

the great experiment
is off its rails 

off course

goal posts
warp and run
a lifetime away

~

hungry !  
but for what ?

says no Real Animal
ever

~

she wears a blonde wig
instead of goodbye

& goes off grid
with ease

~

worry about what to wear

to
go
shopping 

for clothes

~

leaders make the worst reality tv

in
the
very
many
layered
meanings

of that immense oxymoron

~

follow the tweets
from off a famous name

one hundred 
years
dead

look for the joy

look for the joy

look
for
the
joy

on tv ?

APOLOGY FROM THE OTHER SIDE (SPORK GIBBONS)

dear next generations

we were 
just

cutlery monkeys

hungry and jealous

juiced and crazy

on the nod
in polyester
and plywood

blinded
by
the
information cascade

drowning
in
the
junk mail brown envelope ppi rain

and short sighted
in
the

hollywood backdrop glare

and
we

couldnt

make

it

rhyme

in time

we are so so sorry about that

( ps
  we hear 
  the fallout
  will make for
  amazing sunsets )
