LUDDITE

i am one 

unsupported proprietary tech away

from going
full luddite

& sleeping outside

in the cats places

& showering 

only if it rains

& roasting plundered veg

over deadfall timber

in a place amazon vans

could & would 

never ever 

come

DYSTOPIA DREAMING

maybe

just maybe maybe

we ARE all born genius

( i think this with rare 

  & uncharacteristic benevolence 

  maybe they put something 

  in the water today ? )

~

but its Life -

its e x p o s u r e
its hardwired fuckery

the rampant chemical ebb & flood

that so so quickly

subtracts us away

to meatbags & gristle

moaning in the morningpods

at technologys hiccups

&

the dirt 

we put

in the rain

BREKFAST BUFFET VOL3

 

the thrones empty

soon as my arse hits it

achievement owns 

the comedown void

success is blunt

i assume

chemical imbalance

melatonin dropoff

unsleep unhacked

holographic bacon

toast on the side 

~

we gurn

between the tech & the trees 

& the deep plastic of seas

& the long flat rolling hilltop land

of

dumb

animals 

& our ancestors stone

~

the mood is always uncertain

& the moon terribly strong

i am channelling 

i am auto diary

its not me

i am not here

this isnt happening

How to Disappear Completely 

is a beautiful song

MATH POPS

billion dollar b movies

permitted alchemy

lint 
in 
the
pythagoras storm

from

a

hobbled shell

dust clogs
the geoplanes

the regular horror

is old hat now

stuck

alive

between tech

& the trees

counting my blessings

NEWS POPS

1.

everyday
the 
world 
is
another newspaper 
          
        older ? 
        newer ?
        or 
        more tired ?
             

2.


dear news
so theres
no headlines
of artistic triumph
of heroic compassion
of breakthrus in unity
                 universal education
                 civil responsibility 

        again ?

dear news
so theres
no side bars
on mindfulness
on the futility of fear
on the triumphs of new tech
                   beyond apple 

        again ?

whats that news ?

you think i live in
an 
absurdist liberal fantasy
in
a real world of hooting chimps ?

well touche news

but 
why 
not 
print that then ?

        for 
        a 
        change

3.

maybe
if
we
didnt watch the news

   but
   counted the days instead
   by 
   our 
   growing finger nails
   and
   the sliding sun
   
   would 
   the 
dangerous theatre
still
perform 
at
all ?
