PORTCRANES NIGHTGLOW

 

& much as
i dream of
a one man
seaside gallery opening 

i know
i have
to actually
do some good paintings one day

of street sadness

& the portcranes nightglow

& the dogshits  

they bag-up & hang in trees

but i do almost

have a playlist 

totally nailed down

ON FARM GAS

i had drifted 

into a lighter

version of this world

where my headache
was a golden hologram
up above my crown

& intensity

crept in but politely 

via the open back door

~

freedoms
strange
twilight
tastes of ghosts 

like nostalgia

but with a seaside kick

& that kind of chemical metal tang

like blood would 

on a hot gun

SIMIAN BROADCAST

 

i am a confused monkey
watching other confused monkeys

dazed & dancing & doing 

whats best for their bills 

on

all
the
chimpish tv shows

as classic a distraction

from human anger

& gaias hot flush

as a bottle a day

or turkish surgery

~

& its a no-go / go-go weekday

&

all

the

riotous maintenance

of the human experience

doesnt mean 

anything at all 

to the forests green penumbra

or the seashores 

sad-happy 

high-tide lap

AFTERNOON HOGAKU

seaside sky
& a movie rose

sketching animals
in the shade
of the bungalow wall

then arms out
to collect the sun

~

life is small meccano 

in the back room pisser

of the meat stage wings

anything is a party

& a love adventure

in the festival 

of it all

POETRY BY MATHS

coffee x 5

+
rest x 1000
=

some kind of poem sometimes

if 

the 

central nervous system stimulants 

kick in

cos sometimes theyre lacking

~

so

if the maths are good
& the sky just right
& the gulls overhead 

signal nostalgia seasides

then i get 

a slim god-slice of venn

scribbled in spiders

on the bedside pad

& pink moon is played

all day & all night
in the midtown bodegas

 

AND HELL CAME

  back when i wore armour
  under a boozers moon
it
was
heavy
and
  i
would always
need more fuel

hell
saw
me 
then
vain glorious in the piss-alley
and came for my ego in legion

  now i am naked
  lighter 
  demobbed and half done
just
another
struggle-pup counting scars and stars
in 
our
seaside mongrel nation
