nonsense talk

nonsense talk ( some truths as poem )



i love it when they say oh-kay

ooh look - a bird - is that the time?

i really must be on my way

enjoy your simple, little mind



there's gubbins blowing in the wind

such bollocks on the syllabus

it's good to question everything

you're full of shit like sisyphus



it's good to fuck about - it is

consider march - its boxing hares

yes magic's real like boring pricks

i'm on the ground & in the air



reality's insanity

so all or nothing's nonsense here

my other selves also agree

we're vetting too

please disappear

...














watching stars die

watching stars die ( reworking of an older post )




lobtailling, wasailling

cloisters, spume & elbow grease



thorpe cloud, the turin shroud

cauliflowers, thought police



titus oates, capsized boats

apple pips & envelopes



wheelbarrows, helium

hydrogen & artichokes



siren flash, catnip rush

eleanor of aspartame



weather vanes, fastnet, tyne

marmalade & acid rain



trombones & paper clips

save the carrot, swans with songs



flaming ghosts, babylon

a quick squint-blink

( & then it's gone )

...

















not you sunshine

not you sunshine ( a vaguely poetical fuck off )




freezing air that touches my bones

& tells me then

i'm not alone


april showers still there in june

a constant as

the confused moon


thick autumn fog & raging gales

grim howling winds

blizzards & hale


are mates on which i can depend

not you sunshine

fair-weather friend

...














one man band split poem

one man band split ( a true tale )



all bands bicker

we did indeed

but musically

always agreed


yet all too soon

the songs went shite

the one fan died

time to take flight


new horizons

solo careers

no comebacks here

thanks for those years


my one man band

has seen its days

i've split & gone

- our separate ways -

( ? )
