EVEN JUST A BLIM

art before chores
art before youre dressed

art before voyeuristic vicarious

online viddy & earwigging

even if its just a blim
of a homeless thoughtscape headplan 

even if its looking up art
in the dictionary

& reading the definition

& thinking about the definition
& rewriting the definition much better
in your mind where no one can see

even if its composing a poem 

like this one

while pissing & leaning on the tiles

mind freed & untethered

by biological drainage & release

WAITING THE MORNING OUT

when i knocked at his door
on school-out mornings

his mum always answered
hungover & put out

smoking a superking
in her dressing gown

jeans on the ironing board
vodka soda on the side

& she would shout for him
up the stairs like for a dog

& we would go out on bikes
to wait the morning out

on a building site
pissing in the crevices

or down some alley
rolling with the nothing

cos really
i dont think we got on at all

we were just at the same school
with compatible video games

in 1984
or thereabouts

MAD JAZZ RESOLVED - ANIMAL !

 

count the locum stars

barefoot in the onion grass

&

disappear invisible - animal !

pissing free & marking

the holly hedge point blank

inside 

the gardens 

monochrome dark

where the maintenance line 

is only made manifest  

if you willingly wield 

the hand-me-down GPO rust shovel

with intent & lowborn design 

& back indoors 

its all science wonder

mad jazz resolved

in screaming blue light
