upon solving the scunthorpe problem ( melborp eprohtnucs eht gnivlos nopu )

…

seaman come home soon
from salty seas of spume

we’ll see blue tits titter
on the trimmed front garden

lo, the woodcocks thrusting
up the pussy willow

eat shitake mushrooms
with the ghost of charles dickens

tinnitus the night ( thgin eht sutinnit )

bell ringer bellows

campanologists clanging

hear within the ear

sandy ( ydnas )

…

lines in the sand
sandpit runway
sandpaper plane

sing, sandbar
greensand salad day’s
sandstone undertones

sandstorm clouds
bury heads in sand
a thousand ostriches

hark, sand martins
& ampersands
sand on a breeze

beach sand blowing
sandcastles over
sand in a sandwich

time’s sand grains
on a sandal’s sole
sandpipers playing

twenty, twenty, gone ( enog ,ytnewt ,ytnewt )

…

a roger up the buggered rear
a sausage of a sodding year
a little lizard’s lottery
it’s crystal cricket vision here

a paddle in the riddle’s pooh
another loosened mutant shrew
the flapping karens cancelled me
& nanna got the phantom flu

& so the rabid weasels rained
but cabbage poetry sustained
as muzzles masked the cattle “free”
& planet earth is shackle-chained

the droning global scrotums lie
so more will stumble, fall & die
so let the bumbled normalzzzz bee
& we will spread a butterfly

the road’s a fork, a bendy swan
it’s torque is twenty, twenty, gone
the past’s a rotten apple tree
& inkling scribbles bubble on

& fuck the piddle bucket’s list
with knotted knickers in a twist
the yawning dawn is calling thee
beyond the fog of yonder’s mist
