ACCELERATED ELECTRIC HEAD

within minutes
no seconds
of waking

i have diagnosed myself 

with 7 rare disorders
& held the floor at 3 wakes

fought a policeman
& stopped a war

killed a murderer

& snubbed a king

all in my accelerated electric head

& it dies down some with coffee

~

like things on a microscope slide

oily shimmering rainbows
strobe in my pov margins

& a chad of light is displaced

by a black hole punched 

into the centre pane

& everything & anything
i do / manage / achieve

this morning

this afternoon

all week

is herculean heroism
in my viddy newsflash

I GREW UP IN THE UK VOL 2

i grew up in the uk
water out a standpipe
& the ladybird storm

& the national anthem broadcast
every evening at closedown

i grew up in the uk
windsor weddings on tv

their cartel crockery
ubiquitous & mandatory


~


i grew up in the uk
rolf harris all over tv

drawing cartoon kangeroos
making all the kids happy

remember he sang two little boys
on stage at glastonbury ?


~

& we had cod wars back then
& an oil crisis
that made for thin elvis vinyl

now cod wars are only pending
theres another oil crisis
& elvis vinyl is now fat as the king

STRING THIS PEACE ALONG ( A FOUR POP )

i am in a calm garden picture

stretched out
in 
the
shade & flies

& simple sounds are somehow doom

  its
    all 
      turned inside out

~

over the fence neighbours voices
are   
muttering unintelligible 
&
a child somewhere 
whines 
lazy & unremarkable

then a jetplane miracle 
keys gods skyblue fender - ha !
its 
rumble is late & theatrical
is 
a 
harbinger ? 

its toxic legacy is legible 

~

the 
rustle of a dirty pigeons wings
segues 
into
the
soft siren of a dove - this is peace i decide

the 
peace
before

    EndTimes 

    of 

itanks & mad weather / bodies flying like skittles

~

lets 
string 
this 
peace 
along i decide - i must stay stretched out
in
the
shade & flies

like that king who fought the tide
