GUERRILLA DETRITUS

shrug off the years

from your chain-smoked

hatchback backache

& brandish your

been-there / done-that

hot-rocked-the-tshirt

age-awarded eyes

like a weapon sheathed 

in a bittersweet

guerrilla detritus

comedown glo

DISCARDED TOYS & OTHER POPLINGS

time

is

in

its hardest light

waiting on antibiotics

to

kick

their

damn

selves

in


~

mirth free laughter

a discarded toy

foreign policy . . .

i got the 

downstream
creek bed
lost body blues

~

the years pass fast

shrink like violets

but the mornings -

long

slow

silt-fat dredge

to

the

luncheon

shore

GLOSSY PUPPIES

years slide by / sneak by / come and go
they whisper hello and goodbye 
they mumble half words 
like 
ghosts and phantoms 

its about numbers / always numbers / important amounts 
but
the meanings are mashed up
like
plasticine balls
till
all
the
vivid colours
become 
one dirty beige shade
and
veined
with carpet fluff

the months / the days / the diminishing cycle
is
just puppies on a spiral calendar
glossy / happy / dull distractions
hanging
by 
the 
fridge and scribbled on - attempts to decode 
the 
moments
and
important amounts
