ABOUT A TSHIRT

'daddys
 got his
 big boy
 knickers on'

rages the twisted dude in the awful film

but thats no matter

anyway as

i am absorbed
by this tshirt 

i dug out

from long ago & musty stasis

its on my lap now

& i finger its guts

it is hard-packed 

with drinking ghosts 

& smells of the silt

of an old depression

FRAG 35

remember the ashtray spills
all over your hot-rocked lap ?

the grey dust
floating & coating
the coffee cups & bedspread

free promo biros
clotted in a mug

MISTY MORNING POPS

 

mist cushion sits 

on the fields 

slow dawn lap

soft morning beauty

around the hospital tower

~

swing low 

sweet chariots

says the old man

in his baggiest boxers

zero tasking 

on the lawn
