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

watching stars die

~

watching stars die ( reworking of an older post )




lobtailling, wasailling

cloisters, spume & elbow grease



thorpe cloud, the turin shroud

cauliflowers, thought police



titus oates, capsized boats

apple pips & envelopes



wheelbarrows, helium

hydrogen & artichokes



siren flash, catnip rush

eleanor of aspartame



weather vanes, fastnet, tyne

marmalade & acid rain



trombones & paper clips

save the carrot, swans with songs



flaming ghosts, babylon

a quick squint-blink

( & then it's gone )

midas piss

~

midas piss ( some contemporary pastoral bollocks )



the morn is gold

as midas piss

then palpitate

our minds are fish


among the air

on land - on feet

the sky's still blue

but bird song's sweet


like irn bru

so hit them fields

or so to speak

the earth too feels


as thoughts they drip

the many leaks

monsters still lurk

there in the deep


but fuck that wank

feel free to swear

there's no way that

ma nature cares


she made this shit

- oh look, a swift

with stuff they've nicked

for you - a gift


then thereupon

our footpath green

a clover grows

with leaves thirteen


so lucky us

truly we're blessed

this scenery

fills in the rest
