then downhill's the easy part
how the other half ride
push it like a dung beetle
then like buzzards - we glide
clearer like a rainbow's cue
or a lake come daybreak
watch it though on those slopes
keep a hand on those breaks

today isn’t christmas ( a n o b s e r v a t i o n )
…
no twats in santa hats

don't fret yourself shitless
there's ages to go yet
today isn't christmas
( phew )

advice to my younger elf ( a p i s s i n ‘ p o e m )

many tentacles
yes, love is an octopus
none identical
oft some are innocuous
cool like pentacles
or penguins in mortuaries
love's an octopus
& warfare's an irate flea
