SKITTERING THUMBS





youll
need
teflon 
thread
in red

for the turgid tapestry
of these take-away times

~

oh my skittering thumbs !  

dusty bombcams
winter snuff
bombastic botulism 

oh my skittering thumbs . . .

~

so -
bent on the bowl
fingers a cold claw cradle
face folded over the phone

wishing i was superman
incognito
as a food delivery boy

ANIMAL UNBOTHERED




be easy
to drift thru the days
an extant mass

without urge
or maintenance

no deliveries or plans
no requests or pangs
no phone no flubs no leaks

silent
sitting
sustained

or walking pointing remembering
or walking for walking

like an animal unbothered
to prove it is here

BOOKBAGS & BACKPACKS

 



the sludge
burbling in the turdle runoff
once was rain maybe
gentle in spring
&
falling
on
small shoes & swings
&
bookbags & backpacks
&
hand-me-down softshell hoods
&
a mothers phone
the banking app there
& her anxious minces

REGULAR HORROR 10




despite all the regular horror
on the phone & in the mail

i am getting up 
when i can get up

& taking my coffee 
in the gardens lush overgrow

well fed & medicated 
clothed & unbombed

thanks to the coincidence gods
of the fortune crapshoot melee

PHONE WANTS ALL THE JOBS




need a buffer
before the day

a refresh / a defrag / a purge

& tho the phone wants the job
wants all the jobs
i know a shower will do it best

wet ritual rebirth
so then
i can
attempt
myself
again

clean parts i hope will
 fool the mind

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 ?

SCENE




weep into
your cold
dishwater

theres rain up the kitchen window

so the postman
wont see

~

& all the difficult forms
& the liars on the phone

lay their traps of madness

sunshine & love
cant see

ANXIETY 101




the door bell
was a fire alarm

& the phone ring
made me sick

clock in was
faustian intense

& shop queues
brought cold sweat

all public food
wanted back out

& streetside
lit up my spine

night mine to hide in
but night not always kind

A PICTURE OF A MAN



i would call the help desk
all the time

it was almost
scheduled
i treated it like
a time-out

this and that
i would say
and also
the printer
it doesnt know who i am

a strange IT guy
a strange faced 
tall faced 
long man
would came down

i
mean
his frowns were kind of inside
and
his loping stride way too long

kind of staged
like his mind
was on a catwalk

and his
laptop bag
seemed
borrowed somehow

or downloaded
and 3D printed

just
for
today

or like he was 
a dead meat sim
the helpdesk just grew
in
a
windowsill pot
like cress

~

he was a suited guy
collar open too wide
tie gone wild
50 or so
and
looked almost like
he could be
daniel craigs
older brother
if his parents
had kept him
in the dark
till adolescence

i always got the impression
he might not actually be there
but i didnt ask anyone else
if they could see him

or try to touch him
at all

i dont think
i wanted to know

as long as the printer
it knew who i was again

~

a midlife crisis
or an effort at camoflague
had tattooed 
crisp stars 
up his left neck

and there was 
smudged green
barbed wire
drawn up the right

and
when
he
had
mended
our
printer
he went out to chain smoke
in the bluelight entrance
making
endless
calls
on
a
too big
dead square
blackberry
telephone

like 
he was an
anomaly
fresh thru
the
mandela gateway

and needed beaming up
right away

before his presence
collapsed 
all the worlds 
forever

THE EGO AND THE PARANOIA 2



paranoia is the burning bedroll
of a blunt in the birthday daylight
halfway up the haul of the white lion hill
overtaxing the hysterical jags
as the rodent dark crawls on in
assuming it need not even ask for blood
after the late night takeaway

paranoia disappears me
like im an experiment in a maze of mistakes
like its el salvador when the sun goes down

and paranoia
orders one shot of each and everything
in the glass columns behind the golem bar
in the bottleneck half hour of the tick tock
with
newcastle browns
flat abyss chaser
in a dishwasher warm
half pint glass

glue leaked out the bottles label
is a frozen teardrop of tobacco tar

and paranoia
hangs my door key
around my neck
just in case you know tho i am rarely out
just for the bins and that you know
cos paranoia says 
anyone can get lost 
in the lynchian depths
of a front yard anteroom

and paranoia
says the songbirds and the bluebirds call
for the zipped files
on a locked card
in secret compartment
in the back
of my GPS 
deactivated
mobile phone

they call from the palm trees
decapitated stumps feathered like corn
across the white trash speedtrap street

and my ego weighs in
and my ego tells me
that
tho
i have no wings no more to beat no more
in judgement over the square mile
over parliament
hammersmith apollo
borders jazz cafe
centre point
and Time and All Creation

that i should not worry
as its clear-as-fuck its the mandela effect
or CIA meddling in a black chopper backwash

and the truth will out
it says
the truth will always out

or never will

THE PHONE RINGS



the phone rings
i
am
absorbed 
in some shit
in some small writing 
in the dream behind the structure 

and
i
am
surprised
when i make spoke-words understandable
into
the
living
plastic

FUCKTOWN MONKEYS

  

in
shrunk cap-sleeves
picked
for
swollen gym guns
and
long shorts 
showing tattoo shapes 
painted
on
powder-bulked calves
fucktown monkeys
banter over-loud 
dull bravado
ALRIGHT LUV to the barmaid 
but
they
never
meet her blonde
bambi-mother 
eyes
while
the missus 
sits
silent and lost 
and
disinterested
and
sitting with 
legs wide
their 
balls clearly humungous
they
bounce a kicker boot 
up down up down
and
jangle car keys
and
clutch a phone
and
look their missus
up down up down
who's
sitting silent
and lost
and
disinterested
then
their
mobile bleeps 
a 
download ringtone
and
piss-hole 
piggy eyes
focus middle distance
as
self-importance 
lifts their
babystubble chin
and 
its all YER MATE, OUT IN PUB INNIT
and
after the call
they're silent
and lost
and
disinterested
and
stare out the window
at a blonde 
across the street
under
the Costa sign
with
Esso garage 
petrol prices
and shes silent 
and lost
and
disinterested
her dead gaze 
on
her 
pierced nails
