MEAT PUPPETS CLUTTER & CHAFF

 

well my meat puppets
chewing at his strings again

& thats nothing
but a fast track
to the floor

~

& i need 

a health sandwich on rye

amphetamine fries

on the side

to clear

my soft avatars broadcast

of its

clutter & chaff

chipping at the sentences

outside
outside
is a hacked dreamscape

of
sanctioned
fantasy

DESERT STRINGS

i
find
a
white piano

in a desert
hotel bar

stretch out
in a 
corner seat

almost 8 years
i think
8 years

replaying 
the 
strange days & strange ways

waiting on the emotive drama
of
a string arrangement at dawn

FOR CONTRAST AND CONTEXT

( in a dept store cafe )

theres a woman
cackling over 
her grandchild
then
she
lists
items
in a standard xmas dinner

her family are on their phones

theres an old lady
barking
like an asthmatic dog
like an emphysema crow
at
a
flaking pastry

theres her daughter
on crutches
talking
slow
so slow
slow as illness

and quiet as a cloud

theres a silent man
nothing to eat
no tea cup and saucer
a shine of use
on his knees
on his arse
of
his
cheap black asda slacks

theres a man in a cap
eyes invisible
check shirt
tucked in
trousers high
checking out the seed stand 
for 
20 
minutes

before choosing nothing

~

i dont fit in here
thats why i need to be here

( says
  my
  ego )

i make the picture

i represent
the contrast and context

no
one
is
looking for

( says
  my
  ego
  sadly )

~

just another meat puppet

dancing 
strings
pulling
at his arm
at his hand
at his pen
scribing
words
like
spiders legs
in 
a 
small lined
spiral bound
scribble pad

in a stop and start coffee dream
