unslept in yet
sweating like your uncle
i never dreamt of
my true love or
colonic irrigation
this day is grey but blue
stagger on though

the chemical burns
beneath my panda
eyes – the bright blue
sky upon your
haddock head
& we are battered
chipped & mushy
peas be with you
we are stories
like the distant – stars
a scar in
every twinkle
twinkle little death
& catching – fluttered breath
these scatter cushions
us, the cloudy
early hatchlings
groaning bones but
tomorrow isn’t cancelled
like a zed lister’s
online wrongthink
mister bump is
our spirit guide – life
is a series of un –
fortunate accidents

death is my uncle
i help him with the harvest
by midsummer the grass is
ready for the scythe
we live in the same small
town or quite large village
down up in the midlands
where the air signs know
the king is not my queen
as the mistle thrushes crow
life is your cousin
& high on themself
…
…
wearing a dryrobe
in the middle of the midlands
singing along
to your favourite a.i pop song
driving shiny four-by-fours
that never roam off-road
with personalised plates
( tee-double-yoo-ay-tee )
or saying ‘hello’
to people that you don’t know

the traffic warden hag
& the hawthorn sapling
arthur / martha
& the backstreet clinic ( shush )
half a crown in shrapnel
but a shilling still in debt
the piper, the fool
& the giant cob of sweetcorn
the ballad of the abbot
& the wet, wet sponge
my true love
is a chartered accountant

haiku on the back
of an own brand cornflake box
a black marker pen
…
…
bumblebees each evening
second guessing breakfast
trees between those wheaty fields
beans on buttered ghost
& the pelican grins
…
…
then a collared dove
shat on your hat, my true love
two forty seven
…
…
yes, quite a pious chap
a monkish, boffin brained
polymathic poet bloke
from them-there saxon times
with a very clean anus
