THATS MY ENGLAND

damn cockerel
he bought opposite
needs oiling
needs a new battery
needs the chopping block

i am on my knees

in my mind

when i hear it

now someone is shouting 

bless you

after

every

cock-a-doodle-meh

& thats my england

right there

BLUEPRINT VOID FILLER

the hatchbacks 

slept on the blacktop 

& go to work now 

under june sun

we are between heatwaves
& the wheelie bins 

are scattered 

in the wake of vans

the news is bad / i am scared

ever it was / but more so

the cat rolls in soil 

the soil is very very dry

my emergency solar radio combo 

charges its capacitor 

on the window sill


~

fug you the soldier said 

his chest wound bubbling again

& all the dry teats cough air 
into the famine mouths

& all the fat teats belch oil

into the unexplored godzilla sea

this is the end my friend

can you picture what will be ?

APOCALYPSE WALLS

  & 

  the words of the prophet

  are written in oil

  on the apocalypse walls

  & segregation halls

( & 

  were delivered

  in report form

  to the white house

  of the 1970s )

  & 

  whispered in the sound of silence

( & opec talks . . . ) 

A PLASTICS BOY

a son of oil
  &
a plastics boy

  hidden & sore -

acne in a patchy beard

~
 

  & 

time sleeps & time flies

when creation

  is afoot
  is alive

DELIRIUM TAPAS VOL1

 

  penny haven juices   
  a gin mill town ago  

  rainbow oil in the gutter       
  aglow with machine flame flume  


  ~  

  the blunt windows square peg  

  thats the interweb            

  & its full of round holes     

  pun intended

POP #1010

your wet motor 
approaches byproduct obsolescence 
in 
the 
loam of mechanical dawn

hail the fickle union
of fantastic wahey

bleak oils weak future 
must but forgive us now

and pull up another chair

for another soft meat side order
naked

HELPLESS

oil prices rise
or falter - whatever

papers are filed
always - set your watch by them

and his coffee gets cold
and he needs to piss bad 

thinks

and hes
helpless
helpless
helpless

LIKE A STONED BUTTERFLY

he 
left
his judgement & neuroses 
his paranoia & cirrhosis 
in a gladstone bag
with 
his phone & credit rating
in 
the only working 
train station locker
east 
of
constantinople 

and hes laughing now
laughing like
his hearts beating

and hes announcing love now
in awful latin 
all alone
to the ragged mountains
broken glass peaks

he was worn dull 
with rushed tai chi
and hr penetration

but now hes reaching for now
far from the
information
capitals

hes immersed in the composition
hes immersed in the oils
hes part of the technique
hes brush strokes & whirls
hes blown on the plastic winds

hes as naked & nothing as nature now 
and now hes letting now go again

flitting fickle & deathless

like
a
stoned butterfly

SILENCE 3

and
under the ghost-park mirages
the deaf administrator
punches enemas for dirty oil

overtime armour
herds opinions written on boards
into
kettles kept on simmer
where the
steam writes headlines
in condensation 
on englands bathroom mirror


make-over puppets pose
and burst like balloons in place of promotion
rehab is demographic expansion  
and
any integrity is met with quickly forgotten surprise
and exclusion
from the train-seat hot-gas rags

millionaire hijackers are invisible sideways
disguised in own-grown legal smirks
for opening-hours bank jobs

palms open and out - ALWAYS
cos
it all went up their sleeves
years ago
anyway

and
deaf administrators 
rewrite any laws they break
when the safe is being broken

dont you hear
their

distilled barks made for 
the
back-pocket media ?
