DELIRIUM TAPAS VOL6



the empty lands
or so they very very seem

blunted tile
blind ceramic

the awful plumbing wires

the turf bark & meat

empty
empty 
lands


~


theres reflections to fill it
to paint time & change it
if we update & defrag 
between loving blinks

& the past
that cosy ghoul
is gone in truth

but for in our drawn puddle glow

OVERDRESSED SUPPER




again

despite events

i watch all the 

n o t h i n g 

get it on

outside 
the 
windows
dawn

~

small birds 
ferry small twigs

round neighbours 
fetch their narrow rags

ambulances come
&
ambulances go

me-wah me-wah on the downlow

~

naked lunch ?

overdressed supper !

served too late
nebulous of source
& 
burnt & bruised 
black & blue

~

truth is fools gold
drowned in electric mist

alive tho
forever
in 
coltrane & cohen

so i pick my feet
outside poughkeepsie

& wonder
& wonder
& wonder

about the glitches
mounting up
mounting up
in
this
hardlight
soft dirt

STREETSIDE COLDTURKEY GOSPEL




a nightingales singing
on 
the 
hard shoulder
of 
the 
m4 westbound

& theres more 
glut-gut appetite
out there
for conspiracy
&
knee jerk democracy
than truths
simple bowl

~

the ex-cop man-shape 
licking
the
bottleshop window 
in his only shirt
calls 
out 
his 
throwaway streetside 
coldturkey gospel -

youre only as sick
as your secrets

~

247 traffic cams
footbridge vantage
see & look & glom
without ears

miss

the nightingale singing
on the hard shoulder
of the m4 westbound

MADNESS SOMETIMES




gurning gristle
in nylon
in denim
pulled by the moon
over gravel
over silk
to interior approximations
of heaven
of hell
heart truth
too soft
to stomach

skin sack
ports leak 
on a media uproar
on a postpartum riot
shuffled by clocks
into a sideshow
into an ad break
so - the big boots
wear the big boots
for grounding
for psychological support
mind jag
too too
to do
today

and sunglasses
to hide your glow
to hide your shine

cos it looks 
like madness
like lunacy
like its gone out
like that
sometimes

GOTTA LAUGH



you gotta laugh

you gotta try to laugh
when
you
feel
the awful fingers
of
mad bad truth

climbing their bitten nails
inside your exhaust port

not rock
not paper
not scissors

beats a real laugh

~

look at our heinous fuckpile 

as if from space
as if from history

and
you
will
find
which teachers
only repeat the sea

and which
surf the moons tide 
as home

THE EGO AND THE PARANOIA 2



paranoia is the burning bedroll
of a blunt in the birthday daylight
halfway up the haul of the white lion hill
overtaxing the hysterical jags
as the rodent dark crawls on in
assuming it need not even ask for blood
after the late night takeaway

paranoia disappears me
like im an experiment in a maze of mistakes
like its el salvador when the sun goes down

and paranoia
orders one shot of each and everything
in the glass columns behind the golem bar
in the bottleneck half hour of the tick tock
with
newcastle browns
flat abyss chaser
in a dishwasher warm
half pint glass

glue leaked out the bottles label
is a frozen teardrop of tobacco tar

and paranoia
hangs my door key
around my neck
just in case you know tho i am rarely out
just for the bins and that you know
cos paranoia says 
anyone can get lost 
in the lynchian depths
of a front yard anteroom

and paranoia
says the songbirds and the bluebirds call
for the zipped files
on a locked card
in secret compartment
in the back
of my GPS 
deactivated
mobile phone

they call from the palm trees
decapitated stumps feathered like corn
across the white trash speedtrap street

and my ego weighs in
and my ego tells me
that
tho
i have no wings no more to beat no more
in judgement over the square mile
over parliament
hammersmith apollo
borders jazz cafe
centre point
and Time and All Creation

that i should not worry
as its clear-as-fuck its the mandela effect
or CIA meddling in a black chopper backwash

and the truth will out
it says
the truth will always out

or never will

DREAM OF A NORTHERN TOWN



i dreamed of a northern town
run by a moody michael gambon

and a woman there
was a movie cliche
sucked back into her old ways
behind a beaded curtain
just when she thought she was out

again she guards old lags keys
for rent money
molestation protection
and
an
old and tired sun-faded thrill

her hairpin elbows
resting eternally 
on a 
railway sleeper bar

and i was some kind of new face
fixing a plastic stick-on speedo
on the dashboard of a childs go-kart car
while some hired hood
some borough market lee marvin
was mocking dylan thomas
saying
deaths dominion ?
thats just deaths opinion
and wondering aloud
that we dont weep
with weakness and relief
at
the start of nights curfew
and 
the sweet nod of dawn
that 
comes in confectionery colours
over
the 
factory chimneys
climbing column
of 
writhing rising 
snake-like smoke

and

well

come on

hang about ere

what right do these dream faces have
to rap and tap me on the chest
while 
i
am
only
resting ?

what right to assume my guilt
when ive no back story at all ?

i was born here
i try to cry out
born working
on this dusty
bugsy malone
garage floor

but
then
everyone 
but
me
is
gone
away

like some door is shut and sealed
in wakings first reality aches

and
i
am
left
bereft and anxious

and then
in a rush
relieved

relieved in the sweet nod
of another dawn

thats all the colours of confectionery
over the low and homey
bungalow roofs

TWO HUMBLE POPLINGS



1. MAYBE I SHOULD DO A SPREADSHEET

i dont know
that
i
could
ever
be
arrogant
enough
to
assume
to
speak
truthfully
on
my
own
dim motivations

best to 
reverse engineer
my
actions

to see whats what

these days

BUK RULES



in the submission rules
for a little mag
it said 

 ' no bukowski style

   im drinking
   im writing
   its great

   sort of stuff 
   thank you '

maybe i get what they mean
and i cant drink anymore anyway
but i hear a snobbish drift
and pleas for rhymes about daisies

those small eclusions
hold essentials markers
of 
truth
creation
escape

and 
the screaming
at the thin end of it all

that theyve never heard
and wouldnt even know
if it blew out their arseholes
during their broadsheet sunday brunch

OLD GUYS AND THE TRUTH LAWNS - POPTASMS



1.

  we are past 

    Truth 

the rags yell-

completely 
   forgetting 
  their job

and i am only trying 
to 
get 
my first coffee down

and
it
tastes
like
boiled stone



3.


out the window -

no shitehawks on my lawn

its 
all 
clean out there

  the
leaves laid out by an artist

no headlines
  for
broken
  eggs
   in 
   the 
 young starling trees


3.

and the old guys
from the old times
who fought the old wars
still
go
up the shop  
             s l o w l y

for
their
8 am
rags

every single bad news day


4.

and
our
forever
queen 

wrinkled gin puppet
 empire fresh
  on her 
 golden potty
calls for lavendar

picking
a
castle
for
the
weekend

TRUTH / NEWS / FAGS TRILOGY



1.

dont smoke
dont smoke
dont smoke the tabloid crack

dont smoke
dont smoke
dont smoke the broadsheet freebase

smoke fags
  smoke fags
    smoke fags - if you cant stop
   
    they
    are
    your
    best 
    fair weather friends

    existential moments
    with
    truth
    on
    the
    box


2.

think binge 
in your own tiny mind
if you can be bothered

pick and choose from the river of facts
or
listen to your kfc guts 
for
instinct
hints
about the milky flow

or let it all be

leave
the man-made weather in its snowglobe
on
your
folks
mantelpiece

look deep in it
once a month
and
wonder
how
and 
why


3.

follow the money
follow the money
chase the cash 
for
truth and reason

if nothing comes clear
then
you
are
in
the realms of madness

the clown-smile land
of bad taxidermy

and what of questions then ?
