INSINUATING, 2 X FRAGPOPS

torn
hot
shreds
of boeing parts

rain
bimonthly

on the school yard astroturf

& the struggling eggshells there

~

now the plastic death cult

has hijacked my priorities

& i search new raincoats online

with every black cloud & shower

instead of painting these muted roses

SPEAKERS BLIM

never
knowing
how long it will take
for my mind to get 

online 

again

i wait wait wait
in the sunday morning of it all

coffee & a folded cat

1993 out the speakers blim

RAGING DOWNTOWN

i go 

back in

like i was
never out

such is the shitstorm
raging downtown

~

& all my shopping baskets online
are filled with whimsy treats

my emails
beg me
to buy

GUNS BEFORE BREAKFAST

the things i see
before breakfast

online on social apps
on my phone in my hand

snuff & lies

& grace between bile

& a little girl

eight or nine or ten
firing two pistols 

at the same time

two fingers needed 

on each trigger
& she empties one 

before the other
& she discards it 

with a glance
like a kindergarten john wick
calm concentration on her face

& she really is doing it well
& who is behind the camera ?

DEEPFAKE FRANCHISE ?

this relentless flow
of shorted pops
thrown online

you see them ?
thank you if you read them

theyre relentless
until theyre not

& if the dust takes me
theyll be archived
in the silicone & sand

& a handful of paper writs

~

tho i 

maybe 

could

might 

should

franchise myself eternally

in 

a
manufactured
extrapolated
deepfake poem flow

SKY & SOIL WOULD DO (CIRCUS MIRROR 3)

manufactured aspiration

diamond bores
a
fantasy cavern

thru our mortal charge

subconscious testimony
dopamine fooled
paints us incomplete
with
prime-time
commercial
airbrush

compelled 
we credit-fund
our
hungry hologram implant
with
kipple ballast

searching onlines
eternal scroll
for 
our 
Next Favourite Thing

when
we got more shoes than feet

&
the 
sky & soil

should / would do

CONFORMING CAN BE COOL

doorstep charity mugger
shakes my hand
when i tell her
all the charities 
i given a bung to
online this week
out my paupers income

well done she says well done

and i tell her
i am just conforming
to my
low income
sick-note
white writer
home-in-the-day
liberal
compassionate 
demographic
and 
i would rather have ordered myself 
a fat bag of ritalin instead
but
who
can
trust
these
websites 
these
days ?
and anyway 
who needs the anxiety and bruxism ?
