TEFLON DUMP

 



i
am
sad
about
sickness & death
& i miss my friend

said the writer
in
a
plain language jag
clean as a teflon dump

no blooms or buds needed 
on the darkness branches
to ratify & beautify 
her inevitable fall of bones

A DAY IN THE STRIFE (TO THE TUNE OF A DAY IN THE LIFE)




i
saw
the news today oh boy

the government
blew its legitimacy out
in a subsidised ulez car

& tho the news was rather sad
i just stood & stared

as another crowd of people 
were turned away
&
everyone was really sure
he was from the house of shills

GOLD & SILVER & RED & BLUE




the presents i got
from them
as a child

were wrapped
in the shiniest
of gift paper

gold & silver & red & blue

it was sad that had to stop

~

time takes things
that you dont know
& they dont know

till all of you are old
& running your movie back
dressed the colour of sand

HOSTILE MESH




its a loose weave safety net
the
sick & sad
get
tangled up in

calculated disrepair
adds
barbs
to
the hostile mesh

blow up 
what you like

is what i hear

as
long
as
'help'
DRIBBLES
thru

how to enjoy the orchards now
with all the soil has seen ?

LIKE A PHOTO NEGATIVE




the sunlight 
is invasive

is heavy 
as chefs knives

cutting thru
lime neon 
leaves

it makes me feel 
like a photo negative
like a hiroshima shadow

i hate how 
it gets inside 
of me
&
how sad it is
to be irritated
by a star

ITS A HEAVY SCENE




balls from the poundshop
on the brown grass lawn

are left where the last game ended

& bleached & dirty
they punch at
the low part
of my heart

~

its a heavy scene
like a bomb site snap

broken chair / lost doll
you know ?

so i wrote the following -

        balls
         in the garden
        but
         no child to play
        &
         i dont want children
        but
         i am sad anyway

         balls

GLOWING DULL ELECTRIC

 



theres Things

here / there / everywhere
in the brain space & out

Too   
      Sad   
            For   
                  Touching


~


they glow dull & electric 
inside the medicine scaffold 

captive & museum'd

on 
the 
laterbases
forgotten tab

DREAM FUDGE POP HOSPITAL

 


my old hospital super 
was oh so very sad

i see it thru the window
see her face breaking down

i bet you miss this
she says 
in a business sense

yes i say i do

& i weep too

vicariously relishing 
my own wet dissolve

because 
i only 
cry in dreams

UNTIL TOURETTES




theres these 
pomes in me

n
some of them 

r
2 sad 
2 write

2 mean 
n
2 bad

~

theres these 
poems in me

ripped fabric

base code
in
hard light

lowest uncommon denominators

&

shall / must
just
let 
that weird breed
go

shadow butterflies
on
the
black shutter breeze 

until 
my eventual
tourettes

LUNCH BAG BLUES

&
an
achilles tenderness

looking
at
a
loved ones packed lunch

the night before

its there like a cat is there

its humble
&
waiting for morning

LAST DRINK 3 / HERBAL BREWS SMILE WEAKLY AT ME



early autumn
and
the cat
was
on
some
cheap
food
that made his shit stink bad

i bought two bottles of alcohol free wine
that
was
light
and
fruity
and
empty
and
sad

it laughed at me
and
i
poured
it
away
and
lined
up
herbal teas instead
