shadow puppet conundrum ( murdnunoc teppup wodahs )
…
you see the devil
index-middle fingered horns
master of amalgams
pantomime phantom
spooker of the sheeple
goat that torches steeples
unholy ghost
propaganda man
( while )
i see a rabbit
haring where the unseen
is spotted & noted
floating under sunshine
bobbing for victory
in the wings of spring
cernunnos swagger
singing hymns of pan
( ? )

laughing all the way to the word bank ( knab drow eht ot yaw eht lla gnihgual )

napkins mendicant cataracts merriment
pincers peppery semaphore guffaw
quango jacobean cantaloupe amusement
pharmacist ptarmigan nunchuck chuckles

revenge of the vegetables ( selbategev eht fo egnever )

blustering brussels
artichokes in farty folks
parping the parsnips

misting in action ( noitca ni gnitsim )
…
misting the point
the bus & the mark
floating in mist
like bo peep’s sheep
moist of all
i’m breathing in mist
singing in mist
like a mistle thrush
deep in this mist
& misting the boat
presumed misting
like a view
marbles, mister kipling
or the mister men
bumping into trees
stubbing mistle toes
misting a key
within this sylphid sea
misting a trick
but never a beat
mistn’t grumble though
i mist be glowing
a mist in the mist
& misting your phone calls

logs ( sgol )

alternative names for snow ( wons rof seman evitanretla )
…
blankets of brrr
phantom fragments
confused water
igloo mortar
bright white sheets
obscurer of sheep
yeti confetti
melting blossom petals
the trail of a blizzard
frozen cats & dogs
crystallised rainfall
dandruff of the gods

the lord’s prayer ( 2021 n.p.c remix ) ( ximer c.p.n 1202 )
…
our masked father
who art a potato
rainbow be thy skin
thy swill be dung
thy kingdom cunt
on earth as it is on twatter
jab us this day
our daily booster
& blame us all
for climate change
as we destroy those
who scramble our circuitry
in the name
of the sacred syringe
key workers – so no bloody poets
& the green recycled jackboots
for god is a they-them scientists
who dyes their pubes turquoise
on the big pharma gravy train
forever & ever
amen

how do you sleepwalk? ( ?klawpeels uoy od woh )
…
rabid badger man
mister blobby’s cousin
one sock puppet short
of a baker’s dozen
maker of mutations
darkness is the light
in the arse-crack
of y’ tunnel-vision
arwen blew
but the blustering is you
breakers on the sea
in a mug of rosie lee
pointing sticky fingers
at the clean unclean
too many cocks
soiling the broth
sniffles on the snooze
so christ’s on ‘is bike
ring-a-ring-a-roses
– mask psychosis
under howling moons
how do you sleepwalk?
feet in sync
with the wicked rhyme of time
( ??????? )

dyslexic facts ( stcaf cixelsyd )
…
hell hath no fury
like a wombat scorned
hominids squawk
upon two legs
all roads lead to romford
parrots help us see
in the ruddy dark
the morning sun’s a starling
breakfast starts the data stream
one plus one is toodleooh
meat is murmur or myrtle
cats have nine livers

don’ts & do’s ( s’od & st’nod )
…
never play leapfrog
with a triceratops
dust away the cobwebs
or eat the yellow snow
so an old gosling
honking on a millpond
stopped & told me so
once upon a wednesday
never grow a top knot
they’re an n.p.c antennae
connected to the mainframe
beaming in the shite
badger on backwards
irk the scourge of weasels
only talk to strangers
if they’re in the mirror
never love the dirges
of bloody insta-poets
angst in their pants
raking in the cash
bee an individual
tell the hive – buzz off
serve with steamed greens
don’t let the buggers bite
