OST OF THE MIND

the djs gone rogue 

hes looping common people

second hand prams

in the high street wind 

cul-de-sac kettles on

landline in the hall

~

its a soft afternoon 

of hard nostalgia

abnormal & silent & nothing

to the data scrapers ears

INDOOR PETS

it used to snow

we used to write letters

we used to use
the landline phone

~

indoor pets

sewn into cloth

lap cats
eating pulp 
with steel

bedroom LED speckles

our 
new

stardust sky

AFTER TWENTY YEARS

pub night
hot knife
kitchen hangout
long ago friends
find me at home

with the old memory
of a landline number

its like 
someone pressed 
fast forward
is all

& my living room armchair 
becomes a throne of ages

its
clear
i carried on
with the show

& when they go
i am left with a glow

that
i
was
not
the 
fucknut comedy footnote
i feared / was sure 
i could / might be

FEEDING TIME AT THE ZOO

cordless 
landline
passed-on
at 
pizza time

( be strong-
  if you call them once
  you call them every time )

let
some
other
mad
drunk
ruin themselves 
calling the world

anyway
i always
bring the drink
dont i ?
and
i
seriously
cant
be
dealing
with
a
clabby phone call
in
this
degenerate 
state

i can smell my own snot
i can !
and
my
arms
are an untrained operators
practice crane

and my boots-
well 
they
might as well be
on the back of my head

wait tho-
cant you see 
im hiding here ?
from the mutants
and the landsharks . . .

even

attempting

going

to

piss

is

too

fraught

with

risk

of

exposure

and

quick

defeat

down here

under no stars

a new kind of dead

on

the

killing floor

BEDROOM LANDS 1

DIFFERENT 
BEDROOM

same take-out number
scratched on a 
different stash box

different tv remote
on the same cd pile

playstation controllers
scattered 
around
the secrets under the bed



BEDROOM
LANDS

cordless
landline

calling
carpet witnesses 

in the bedspread rye



DENIM
HALLELUJAH

new music to show
hash blims to share

walkman loaded
for the night time
to and fro

NEVER
enough
cigarettes
tho

in the 
bedroom lands
kipple array

of the 90s
denim 
hallelujah 
days
