OFFCUT POPISMS

sometimes its like
i wake up
all
of
a sudden

and think

what the shit am i wearing ?

( two diff clashing camo patterns
  and
  an
  orange check shirt )

or

why am i writing about
the
toilet
again ?

( it was NOT teflon in there . . . )

you
know ?

-

cant see the dangerous flames 
in 
the 
sunlight
of 
state approved fame

and
the
shouting
newspaper
fallout
deafens
us
with
agenda in bold font

-

the grey sea attacks

it sucks at the concrete edges

and my mind -

is
so
far
from home

RUSSIA / GLASS / FLAWS

1. FLAWS

theres flaws in this vessel 

like
the
bubbles
in
cheap
glass 

forever floating / photograph still

a negative space blow-show
dependent
on
the 
whole


2. RUSSIAN PEPSI

there
were
bubbles in the cheap glass 
in 
the
Pepsi bottles of Russia '91 - i was young 
and 
not yet too wrong
breathing
awful
fags
in the pick-pocket market 

between the snow and oversize receptions 
the 
air-chant was a new hue

and
i 
walked 
amazed and dazed and brain-busted 
in DMs 
and 
envy denim
at 
church interiors and subway depths
and
i
remember
the
warped hotel windows 16 floors over the Om
distressing
the
view
like a heat-haze or a Stargate
that
made
the
frozen water wobbly sad and grey


3. LENIN
 
flaws 
are
both
beginning and end 
of 
shadow stories 
and
struggles like symphony

light bleed and lens flare and Persian rugs

more interesting by a megaton
than
the
cold
glacier 
of
perfection

dead Lenin - preservation intention
of
chemical juice
and
death meccano
only
rebuilt a man
in 
state approved yellows
