ranting pants & antelopes
dancing ants & saddle soap
flocking frocks & hand grenades
fodder froth & anecdotes
swishing spells & telescopes
pissing wells & stethoscopes
fencing posts & barricades
paper trains & battered boats
shocking spots & horoscopes
hopping splosh & opera cloaks
falling balls & masquerades
scumble spun & undercoats
stamping licks & pencil notes
twisting quills & mental-oaks
peeing s & escapades
letters in
& envelopes

adolf's secret lovely twin
when elbows were ankles
the chelsea flower show massacre
my bubblewrap hell
when swans were gerbils
a funny thing happened to me on the way
to the place where funny things happen
tinnitus, the sonnet
when eyebrows were lethal
& jesus, the acid-welding years
