when the words live on and we want for more
i can now see the new portion of the roofs extention
if it growls later throw in some meaty extraction
timber can be used with caution as to the porosity of its border
strata and sub strata have a co depended relationship
GOD IS A LOBSTER
accordingly theorists will tell you that the border is porous/invisble
you take over now if you want
terms and conditions apply
witchcraft was all over me yesterday
i felt it strongly passing under the city
heaviness and pain
in the story corner
Over wondering wintering
wandering down paths of vast obstruction
when the way reveals it will call up and grab
you by the hands
curly overgrown shed in the back
with moss trees and a bower
frankly object oriented does not
begin to account for the haze over our eyes of Essex
rusted bus depot scotched and walking
frozen and still trying
it figures you have left
the old boat smoldering in the freshening wind
tides come in a' bubblin
swampy in their glory
fresh smells ripen the wind nostrils tang
at last the memory comes back now recall
old faded film version reel in head
so your idea of 'being' the
where is it now and how exactly do you begin to belong
do you have to have lost a thing to find it again
seeking wisdom looking for cheap food becomes what makes the day
stuttering then threatened he leaves the bar area
drugs or mad
when a child belongs this cannot happen
trees cold wind rain darker getting lighter now
dust worrier chest heart lungs teeth legs chatter
bus winds almost throws you
the pulsing grind to a halt of tubes
the living city the cellular dwelling the seat of power
get to know your way around spend it wisely
live up not down
try to enjoy and not to withdraw
the bread man's there again, clearly it's not right
to throw chunks of bleached white Turkish bread around they don't like it
and it's not allowed
you might as well feed the rats

cut up
Their male, in his resentment, pitches
Looking for something.
Bringing a young witch.
Her robe already licked by flames,
Her robe already licked by flames,
saw behind us, looming like the dusk
of someone else’s day, not hers, or ours,
of someone else’s day, not hers, or ours,
a darkening
that still might be transformed
that still might be transformed
You can take the temperature of the writing from the very opening passage, where it is stated that ‘We have placed men on the moon, yet ... ’
He made sculptures from jockstraps, and hung near his bed a ‘masturbation machine’ – a ‘mirror with dozens of white lights that blinked off and on, like a carnival roulette wheel’.
The American Dream ended bitterly on that cold evening
idiot bliss
accept this caress
this cold clammy compress
something in the trellis in the quivering privet
pouring out the lemonade she realised that she was not alone
and further more
utopia's round the corner they used to say
get used to the future, you ain't got no choice mate
the trees are your future, the treeze, the breeze.
suck at the rim of your cups, puzzle the hanging washing on the line
climb those pock marked ravage foothills of your wilderness years once more
as the bus lurches up the Holloway Road in a wind swept rhapsody whatever
sudden freeze make way
ample rooms make way
make way

The past is shimmering
it lies
Its dark meniscus hovers
on the horizon
tentacles reach out to clutch a cup of coffee
now lucid
we drag a cowl around
draped in sumptuous splendour
the life left to live
"don't give up the ghost" it says
you have young ones to feed
they take like robbers on the nest
endless forays into the world
bringing back morsel after morsel
