we made the moon ( noom eht edam ew )
…
we lit the sun
with matches & straw
on whitsun
eighteen eighty four
my, what a sight
flaming ball of light
a lantern
after shafts of night
we peed the seas
mixing pop with tea
& coffee
– a cacophony
’til oceans flowed
where land disappeared
sages swear
stroking floating beards
we made the moon
with cheeses & glue
in april
nineteen ninety two
probably the first
before midday
that was all us
– or so we like to say

couplets runneth over ( revo htennur stelpuoc )
…
scribble piffle pen
peck a rubber hen
pick a pepper pot
hare the ware’s of what
where the air is green
bouncing like a bean
sound in endless daze
chasing laser rays
buzzing in the night
bee the speed of light
badger up a hill
with a feathered quill
bother all the crows
fill the blanks of prose
prance a wanker dance
hornets in y’ pants
pantomime away
in the pissing grey
’til the circuit’s juiced
as the normalzzz boost
knickers in a spin?
– lick minerva’s chin
scribble piffle pen
peck a rubber hen

while the piper’s elbows glow

the death of a soap star ( rats paos a fo htaed eht )
…
wrong’un on the box
hark, a herald angel sings
mercury in thee
hespero below
see the shite beyond the dark
panto purgatory
beckons like a nonce
new producers, budget cuts
ratings on the slide
once the grannies scowled
thirst another universe
storylines have dried
now’s an egg again
up the creak without a boat
swimming in the pooh
come back as a dick
whittington or mother goose
supernova you
