IT WAS VIDEO OF COURSE

i was 

well behind

the leaps of phone tech
when he showed me

a pic of his fiancé in turkey

i jumped 

when she moved

cos it was video of course
& he looked at me

with surprise & weird distaste

& i felt 

like philip k dick

when hes spying on himself
& its raining in his heart 

in paranoid & scrambled LA

KING OF THE CASTLE

when i got my own place
and
everyone came round
for
habenaro chicken
and 
freezing gins
i
was king of the castle
with 
Lou Reed on the player
and
effigys on the bonfire

hash and games till sudden dawn

i felt like i had ARRIVED
and
it
could
always
be 
this
way

before 
LIFES heavy feet
and
TIMES erosion
moved 
everything 
around
