thyme travel

thyme travel ( levart emyht )

walking ‘fore the snowdrops

christen sleeping beds

roaming like a roman

or a saxon on a plod

feet upon the cobbles

or a ruddy muddy path

wafting herbal scents

not rabid badger musk

up before tomorrow

humming old folk rope

striding like a viking

or a georgian soldier soul

springs within my plimsolls

& a spriglet of the green stuff

tucked like a friar

in my anorak pocket

the trojan walrus

~

the trojan walrus ( surlaw najort eht )

cauliflower cloudburst

ten red bicycles

sideways laser rays

incandescent sunshine

tin can candlemas

matchstick mannequins

moon juice juggernaut

coleslaw sauropod

sugar paper plane

nosebleed rosaries

tempest telegrams

landfill filament

dipstick dictionary

seesaw sorcery

whistle on the rooftops

jesus loves unicorns

girlfriend in a coomer

~

girlfriend in a coomer ( remooc a ni dneirflrig )

my true love

is live online

platinum members only

she is the itch

of my withering wrist

in this second adolescence

i am bewitched

by this digital bitch

webcam succubi – pumping me blind

she is fit

but thick as fuck

blander than a church sermon

drain again

my internet djinn

spread your sprawling tentacles

suck my brain

& fleeting ka

harder than the s.a.s

yes, the flesh

is but a vessel

but this ship is sinking here

spunking the jollop

of my monkey-ape japes

i know, i know – it’s serious

technique … ish

~

technique … ish ( hsi … euqinhcet )


with leaden legs of stead
within the twists of sylphid mist
a scribble in the head

the mumbles crumb & play
the bumblebees in stumble me
the jumbles of the day

beneath the croaking cloud
or by the sprite of candle’s light
the monologue’s aloud

a play without a plot
a pantomime in underpants
a sort of pissing pot

the scrapes of nature notes
a stoat within a weasel wood
the scrotal scapes of goats

a coma on the run
the lottery of prosody
another smoking pun

i plod the sodden leas
within the wails & scale the dales
a song upon the breeze

& ink the life & times
the rise & scrawl of bugger all
until the fucker rhymes

snoitcerid ( directions )

wash your hands again

like a modern pontius pilate

no right turn

or your birthday cake will burn

don’t the feed the unicorns

unless you’ve got a licence

best before yesterday

wear a pair of wellys

fly like a nightingale

box with the frogs

stick to the path

like a first class stamp

never eat shredded wheat

god save the badger

bend both knees

on a tuesday afternoon

be a good sheeple

& listen to the government

grow your own potatoes

in a hobbyhorse trough

may contain hazelnuts

& shut the fucking gate

this is not a circular

serve with seasonal greens

twenty, twenty, gone

~

twenty, twenty, gone ( enog ,ytnewt ,ytnewt )

a roger up the buggered rear
a sausage of a sodding year
a little lizard’s lottery
it’s crystal cricket vision here

a paddle in the riddle’s pooh
another loosened mutant shrew
the flapping karens cancelled me
& nanna got the phantom flu

& so the rabid weasels rained
but cabbage poetry sustained
as muzzles masked the cattle “free”
& planet earth is shackle-chained

the droning global scrotums lie
so more will stumble, fall & die
so let the bumbled normalzzzz bee
& we will spread a butterfly

the road’s a fork, a bendy swan
it’s torque is twenty, twenty, gone
the past’s a rotten apple tree
& inkling scribbles bubble on

& fuck the piddle bucket’s list
with knotted knickers in a twist
the yawning dawn is calling thee
beyond the fog of yonder’s mist

all hail the cheese gods

~

all hail the cheese gods ( sdog eseehc eht liah lla )

fruits of the socks

the flocks

& the cocoa

babybel ringers

& cadbury crunchies

lovers of chilli

the stink

of a bishop

blue veined stalwarts

chips in a muffin

cheddar or white like

milky bars

– sparkle dark

king of the crackers

the soul of a pizza

queen of hobnobs

& the crack

in penguin biscuits

all hail the cheese gods

& chocolate goddesses

blah, blah, corona, blah

~

blah, blah, corona, blah ( halb , anoroc ,halb ,halb )

mutants, drones a wojak

on the six o’clock snooze

so the muffled muppets shake

little chickens shitting bricks

there’s a snare within the air

in the absence of a hare

as i shop with cash

with my stubbled chops unmasked

there’s the scars of self-harm

in the startled eyes of cattle

& a gap between the ears

in the year of the weasel

in a two ‘n’ middle eight

of a wank swansong

when the cult of science spins

so the hermits stroke their chins

there’s a star before the dawn

in the marbles of the morning

but the normalzzz is a wall

& the fucker will not fall

ruddy worms in every can

irk the squirms within my journals

words gather dust

like nightingale hospitals
