messing about by the river

~

messing about by the river by by not on




messing about by the river

watching swans just swan along

eiders & the odd kingfisher

( humming bits of other's songs )



in the sunlight ripples glisten

dazzling my half-arsed eye

calm currents they whisper - listen

( lobbed-in beer cans bob on by )



should i find an empty bottle?

write a note to float inside?

with a quote from aristotle

( a gift for whomever finds )



' hello you, i'm by the river

watching swans just swan along

eiders & the odd kingfisher

( a blue swish

& then it's gone ) '

wake-up poem

~

wake-up poem by some pisspot-poet or other




begin begin

the opening part

act one scene one

the dawn of start


the cock has crowed

then died on his arse

there is no script

it's shit not art


it's not a song

there aren't any words

the cock? piffle

there are no birds


just make it up

go on - have a splurge

mar blank a4

with bastard verse

...






















( nearly home now )

~

( nearly home now ) by 4 couplets for saturday morning





yes i could see my house from here

if all this mist would disappear



if this piss rain would dissipate

if this fog would evaporate



if these glasses were super-strength

if this hilltop well up it went



just like some magic bean-stalked plant

( down there somewhere's my house of ant )
