PRESSURE ROSE

i have become age

& my head feels beetlejuice small

& i used to be a child

but i ate him

when the pressure rose

on a hair gel

bus stop

morning

GONE FOR A BURTON

when
inspiration & flow
have gone for a burton
&
i feel like
i only know

Three  Whole  Words

well 

its time for grunt work

time to copy & paste

out the archives dust

& make a new thing

without pressure

from play

or to sit

just sit & sit & sit

still as water stone

in the drift of the world

POLO MINT HOLE

in the gloam of undelivered winter

i pin mad hope
on the accruing spring lands

it is impossible pressure
i know
for only a season to shoulder

but the emptied airs all dead

& in need of natures basting

& the hope is in the hope of it

like a polo mint hole

if the hope is anywhere

THE SOUNDS OF FLUSHING

hello bathroom
my old friend
its good to shit 
in you again

because a pressure 
softly creeping
left its seeds 
while i was eating

and the pressure 
that was planted 
in my colon
still remains

with the sound
of flushing

LIKE FARTS

pressure builds
like stormhead

then releases
like avalanche

like life does
like farts do

like the week does
into weekend

like death is

cos death
is breathing out

if
its
anything

VERSES OF THE DAY

well
if
the
verses
of
the
day

they vary on a theme

just enough
to cheat stagnation

then
its
the
terrible
chorus
that
gets us

gets us bleeding 
before we are wounded

~

its a hook
and 
pressure drone
of
eat
shit
and
fall down

riding out
flat daylights
gimp fondling
in
heroic toleration

paying bills
and
dreaming 
of batman
of jesus

and measuring
the difference
between the two
in
sleeping pills
and
double cream

SKY GIVES ME QUESTIONS

something 
has
forced
the 
clouds to march

i feel their PRESSURE
their ordered INTENTION
from
down
on
the
patios timelock of 10.15 AM
my
neck bent in wonder

they
resemble
perhaps
a long grey-stained underside 
of 
a supermarket checkout conveyor
rolling
over
an
unresting earth sluggish with 

ghosts ?

or
with
field dust
or
attack smoke
or
just
more domestic kettle steam

AGE AND QUESTIONS

how to catch an AGE ?

that phantom 
of maths 
of greeting cards

and
how to
get it down
neat
in B & W ?

it seems so important to do so -

is it because
things
seem
to
move
so
fast
when they pretend to be standing still ?

its
only
a factor of decrepitude
a death integer
a label

how we love labels !

its
only a reductive mechanism
  shorthand
  for
  demograph forms
  and
  advertisers
 
we are only ghosts
thats all
 
haunting
rotting meat pies
and
spinning ourselves dizzy
  on
  a
  doomed toxic rock
  full with drilled holes
  describing great circles
  over
  and
  over
  and
  over
  in a freezing
  black
  abyss 

and maybe maths will spin us backwards
one
surprising
day
