Bollocks

little sprinkles of evil

little sprinkles

 of evil

should be practiced

everyday

like throwing stones

into unsuspecting rivers

swapping 'round traffic cones

chuckling all the way

or getting off the bus

a stop later than you paid for

having pushingitly

rang the bell

or informing a drayman

that your real name's graham

& then gradually you'll inch

slowly

closer to hell

x

...

grey matters (other version)

there are bits of whitsuns

daydreams

foamy moments

shaving cream

there are intermissions

crevices

edgy head land

precipices 

there are glimpses

of past lives

like aristotle

nell gwynn's cousin

irwin rommel

& there are draining times

plus energies

then lemon trees 

memories

x

...

offerings (how to try)

offer your plans

to the warm blue hands

of confusion

let it nurture them

let them feed off its odd

let it nestle them

let it be their god

then put this faith

in the obscure things & the details

like moss & lichen on a post

an opaque stain on the dog-shelf

the many traces of utmost

& the rest should look after itself

...
