yesterday’s poem ( meop s’yadretsey )
…
a florist sneezed
the fledglings flapped
it smelled of ants
in underpants
& pickled eggs
in cable cars
the night was dim
with sable stars
the dawn was yawns
of troubadours
with iridescent
interludes
but whenabouts
the paper came
the vicar kissed
a hobgoblin
the baker burnt
the macaroons
& garden gnomes
were far from home
the roads were carp
& cuttlefish
the bus broke down
a dowser drowned
as badgers slept
in woodland setts
a pigeon shat
upon my cap
so raining toads
by half past four
& everyone
ate flapjack

kiss this river mist
grow your own toenails
these are the tails
of a comet in the pocket
of a cabbage in the attic
& a pillock on a hillock
in a green & pheasant gland
underneath a blue cagoule
of a hierophantic sky
so the scatters in a graph
stick like jam in odds ‘n’ socks
yet the music’s mutant glue
is the lane upon the rain
& a phantom in the fro
so the layman lasers ray
lemon cheesy breezes crow
like a scribble on the chin
or an otter on the sun
while a stegosaurus snores
in a hall of rubber walls
yet the bend is roundabouts
& a leaden pencil shouts
– unsung bookworms
squirming in my library

cobweb watchers
watching the cobwebs
wraiths of the gateposts
ghosts on the ceiling
clouds for the cloudless
bespoke & woven
hang in the attic
facing a maze
spying a spider
feast on a greenfly
fruits of arachne
dance in the drafting
cobweb watchers
watching the cobwebs
tangle & strangle
- who watches us

fuck knows
