gale – the hat thief

gale – the hat thief ( story true ( a ) )

…



yes there blows gale - the hat thief

trying to steal our hats

plus bits of trees

wallets & keys

& unspecified tat


i stuck my favourite hat on

as there upon my head

one splodged a tube

of supered glue

( she stole my mind instead )

...
























shrouded in miscellany

~

shrouded in miscellany ( all these poems should called this really, sorry … )

…



there speaks the voice of raisin

but not the voice of reason

those novelists have lost the plot

as woods scheme acts of treason


your face is in the basin

some stephens are uneven

yon martians in the garden &

in the attic - a demon


yes brass bands they are brazen

as spring's a bouncy season

king arthur sleeps neath avalon

& mum has gone to sweden


trust not ravens or masons

some fiery pyres are beacons

fog's often fog yet dogs are dogs

your fruit is bruised not beaten

in other news ( some other news in that there of a verse )

…




in other news

the cat is fine

the dog is dog

i drank the wine

with my hands bare

i caught a fly

whilst blindfolded

the cellar's dry



the t.v's died

the dog is well

not trapped down one

there is no hell

a hole was dug

one sought the dead

shambhala was

down there instead



please send more wine

the pantry's full

over my eyes

i pull the wool

that's yes better

my ears have grown

the birds are here

their nest has flown



the jumble's back

fine is the cat

last candlemas

cat caught a rat

that looked a lot

a lot like you

please come back soon

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
