THERES NO ENGLAND NOW

'another century gone

what will we leave for the young'

dave davies

i
am
listening
to

the kinks

to

the kleptones

to

karen marks
for 

all the vapourised children
who
will
never
hear such feelings

or smile like sunshine

at a small new toy

MALL POPLING #3

 

wearing the only waxed duster

in the contiguous south east

& with the widest smile 

of the maddest glee

hes marching 

gunslinger style

past Smiths into Boots

finger pistols shooting

all the dr peppers

in the fridge

AGOG AT THE HIGHWAY

look the febrile universe
in its indifferent & piebald eye

like the ants we are

agog at the highways

pandemonium & alchemy 

& carry on carry on 

toiling in the cordovan soil 

we have worked

& poisoned

& paved 

smiling in the mad grace
we demanded of it

& 

weeping of it

the same

ANGRILY GRATEFUL

i am - 
science-dosed functional
in 
this 
weirder & stranger
fall & catch 
repeat repeat

i am -
chuffed & stuffed 
in the
caveat display

i am -
meat sack repurposed
ready for the atom tan

angrily grateful
&
miserably pleased

i am -
comic relief
smile sulking

in 
the
narcotics division
shift change
bullpen
overlap
hiatus

happy deluded
i am -

the end of brazil

YOU DIDNT HEAR IT FROM ME

we smile when we can
&
we smile when we cant

two way mirror
&
last chance to cooperate

~

we cry too
if our meds
let us

we are unserved warrants
&
we carry stress 
in our water you see

so show it 
to 
your cheeks & todays air
& 
the penal cooler 
should half dissolve

it is
no goddamn 
disgrace

~

theres
traps
to
keep you numb

easy seduction
in the 
blank median fields

goodbye 
jabbering 
risks

spin the cylinder 
once at dawn

crimson ink 
on
the
bedtime
baseline 

~

& 
you didnt hear it from me 
but

movie finance pyramids-

beware them

its a metaphor you see

beware them

when
all
the
soul foods
gone out
the
joy window

do you really want to
explode on television ?

SHE COMES HOME

i
looked the dusk
dead
in
its
flat leaves and golden eye
and
i
announced to its nostalgia tones
that
if
she
didnt
come 
home
id be drinking again

if she didnt come home
id
be
out in the fields with a bottle
announcing
to
the
dusk
and its hints of doom
that
creep
in
round the sides of our eyes
that
she didnt come home
and
that
im drinking again

  but
  she
  does
  come
  home
with that rail station smile
and that rail station skip
that clean musk
and 
those soft paws
and
so
i put the kettle on for brews
and
eat 
my greens
  happy
    relieved 
      and
      alive

DREAM RELIEF

  in 
  a 
  dream
i have misplaced my glasses

  Again

  and 
  i 
fight thru the blur
  trying
  to

  s  m  i  l  e

  when 
  i 
  find 
  them
unprotected on the ground 
  the
  relief 
  is

  INTENSE

  but
  that
  i
could
find my 
  
  m
   e
    m
     o
      r
       i
        e
         s 

in the waking lands
  as
  easy

CONSUMING BODIES

cafe again
8 AM again
waiting on a muffin-
egg
and
cheese

big pic on the wall-
blonde kid
smiling MADLY
at 
a
bap
a mum looks on in GLEE

at the next table-
an
almost man
in
wife-hemmed jeans
a 
short arse
with 
weak arms
says
CANT EAT IT, BURNT TOAST
a
thin whine
too loud

i am avoiding reading the newspapers
