AS I WAS OPEN TO ADVICE & IDEAS

i was reading the posts
from a poetry account
& one said

'dont make yourself the hero of your poems'

& i laughed so loud
all the birds took flight
from off the telegraph wires

then the police came for me
but i hid
& fought them after dark

GENERATED UNQUENCHABLE THIRST

 

a fake angel
christmas shaped

ghosts us all
in the instagram sky

& 

you cant move cant move cant move

or wont - youre mesmerised . . .

in a scrolling induced 

unquenchable

dopamine 

thirst

FINISHED

  like
raw clay
roughly
shaped

like demos
     the lipstick killers

           &
     another green world

like preparation sketches
    &

   my instagram scribbles

of
all
the styles & disciplines
what i like the most

that wasnt in fashion'

wrote richard stark in 1962

seeing
the
latent
instagram in us

shes holding up 
the lyric sheet 
for the busker 
in the retail park 

sun makes it
a blinding white
corrupted pixel

disinterested
currys 
covid
fever

when i touch his box of ashes
my hand & my arm tingle

his spirit
&
the reach of the cat king

or imagination
&
bad circulation

brave new world 
grey new world 

i find a lucky stone

& 
after my bad dreams
have dissembled me
i 
wake
with 
my
gps 
gone hideously offline
