four thirty three

minutes – the lyrics

~

lines on describing

the scent of a dahlia

~

a rondeau in the style

of marcrel marceau

~

the sound of a skeleton

sleeping underground

~

reasons to vote

for any of the scrotes

on the back

of a second class stamp

monkeypox update

~

monkeypox update ( etadpu xopyeknom )

…

the m42

from junction five to fourteen

      is riddled with the monkeypox

      ( follow diverted traffic signs )

most beekeepers

& amateur oceanographers

      are under quarantine

      ( probably forever )

every other greggs

on this frightened little isle

      every b&m

      ( but not b&q )

anyone called gordon

– wilhelm or susan

      will be shot on sight

      ( then incinerated )

the bakerloo line

is still infected

      blackpool tower

      ( plus the marble arch mound )

all stratocumulus

& nimbostratus clouds

      stay afraid indoors

      ( in case they rain upon us )

…

monkey country

~

monkey country ( yrtnuoc yeknom )

…

jungles of oak

mountain ash or rowan

      orchards where we grow

      the money that we squirrel

nuts & bananas

both are common currency

      barter with aplomb

      swinging hairy arms

where the green is green

& the queen’s a lemur

      north west of frogland

      east of hobbit island

we, the simian folk

in this monkey country

      sing until the sun shines

      under earl grey skies

stirring rhesus blood

gibbons in glamorgan

      tamarins in manchester

      marmosets in derby

blue baboons at troon

with their balls in the dunes

      shakespeare came

      from our collective chatter

in between tea breaks

typed in a castle

      a bolthole cottage

      or a new build mews

breeding when we’re not

spanking ourselves

      spreading like the pox

      on the nine o’ clock snooze

…

the greening swards

~

the greening swards ( sdraws gnineerg eht )

…

strolling on a golden egg
when the hen of then rewards
climb the bladder’s ladder rung
life is snakes ‘n’ chequerboards

piss a pot of that’s shallot
skin the pickled goblin hordes
onion rings ‘n’ flutter wings
penning pencils fencing swords

posting pillared letterheads
dodging normal’zzz mortarboards
out about – the papered trails
dipping dales ‘n’ crossing fords

wander swan, the bend is thy
catch a buzz ‘n’ fly towards
lend an ear ‘n’ disappear
major keys ‘n’ minor chords

musical, the mutant moon
clarinets ‘n’ clavichords
potpourri a gloaming sea
going like the clapperboards

’til the kitchen syncs in time
jumping jacks ‘n’ leaping lords
spawn another yawning rhyme
morning on the greening swards

…

safely does it

safely does it ( ti seod tlefas )

…


i’m signing in
not keith or frank
my normalzzz name
so i can wank
– safely

i’m registered
but not a nonce
we all are now
conform at once
– safely

the internet
is hurty words
i’d sooner cry
or feed the birds
– safely

& thought is all
conspiracy
so genocide
erase the free
– safely

a dangerous phrase
is you decide
so dox the lot
with psuedocide
– safely

pick the blandest
lowest of fruits
dystopia
is stamping boots
– safely

we cannot write
or sing a song
or shite a light
upon this wrong
– safely

electric eyes
are perving all
& alphabets
are souping y’all
– safely

i’m all alone
in outer space
a terry square
upon my face
– safely

i’m banging pots
for monkey pox
so i can eat
me cocoa pops
– safely

the green is grey
the bots is bits
the shoe is glue
the fucker fits
– safely

we’re killing all
& onward’s hell
we’re skipping forth
but wishing well
– safely
