khaos luncheon ( noehcnul soahk )
…
dice a pickled onion
with the sword of damocles
fry like friar tuck
or a japanese fly
with a cheesy nob of butter
or a bellend of oil
on the bottomless bottom
of an anus-shaped cauldron
stir in the tears
of sonnet-sobbing milksops
watch ’til it boils
with the eyes of a lord indra
humming like the horns
of beethoven’s fourth
scatter phoenix ash
foliage from phobus
unicorn pubes
& eighty eight parsnips
add five panpipes
& fifty seven wednesdays
simmer in the darkness
for six or seven epochs
serve with steamed greens
& the battle of the bulge
– enjoy

b adgers barking, hark
but the pen’s a pencil case
bugger all calling
l et there be spanners
lemon scented letterheads
light another tab
a nswer with antlers
attack like helicopters
arses in the air
n otice then the clocks
nincompoop this interlude
not stop ticking
k iss a magic kipper
kick invisible tree stumps
knight this greening night
s ight before vision
scribbles on sabbaticals
salmon swim sideways

21st century cabbages ( segabbac yrutnec ts 12 )
…
swans upon a morning’s moo
wronging songs of roll ‘n’ rock
like a pebble in a shoe
or a puppet in a sock
~
inks the rub of rubber ducks
flying like a mountain’s mist
bending earth of mother flux
this is not a shopping list
~
down among the dingle’s ring
sipping troughs upon the peaks
back before the badger king
scatters cushion buttock cheeks
~
but the buttress butter balls
bugger all is vaster than
all the twitching curtain calls
shit the road & hit the fan
~
fuck the truck of monster men
animism animates
mrs. sheet & mr. pen
friends again – so i’ve got mates
~
so the fog is dancing dogs
lo, the cloven clover trots
where the hare is boxing frogs
squint an i & dot the dots

bee a star ( rats a eeb )
…
still the scree of green
weaving like a weevil’s nan
all is in between
catch a feathered drift
spin the morning’s hamster wheel
riddle middle’s rift
reel the rocking chair
rolling like a midland cob
hare the boxing air
gob a flight of phlegm
strolling england’s pheasant gland
ink of then & them
as the innards ring
nightly like a hag attack
see the pastures sing
buzz the stuff of lines
hum in summer’s swift decline
bumble on & shine

scissor kicks ( skcik rossics )
…
tarred but infeathered
farting like a marsh
as the spanners dance
with the ghost of broken biscuits
weaving inbetween
see the forest flap
fly with bingo wings
monday is an urban myth
fellow geminis,
is there life on marzipan?
where the air is beans
or a shade of shitehawk
walking up the walls
with a nuthatch swagger
on the eighty eighth of april
with a parsnip up my arse
…

oh, those dog roses ( sesor god esoht ,ho )
…
let slip the namesakes
thorns but no paws
sleep between the wars
sweeter than a canon
balls is all this morning
bollocks is the bollocks
dozing in the garden
as the catnip purrs
her of the whiskered
whispering witchcraft
watches with cobnuts
so summer’s mutts
gleam between sunbeams
shining like sirius
barking in hedgerows
up the prickled hawthorn

pppoooeeetttrrryyy ( yyyrrrttteeeoooppp )
…
pisspot platitudes
pennies from magonia
purple prose comas
odd sock odysseys
otters in your pocket watch
operatic owls
etch upon the mist
elemental excrement
echoes in hedgerows
type tripe titterings
trundle up the eiderdown
tonguing twisted toss
roar like a mouse mat
roundabouts & out again
row your floating boat
yet the yeti see
yesterday’s a paper plane
you fucking pilchard
