 PAIN RELIEF

 

Unit of relations

Mechanical status

Is lowered torque on

Smooth lines

Obsidian rims

Taken for love

Traded tokens

 

Ice cream bonded

Gelato for a Yes; gestalt impeachment

Discernment official

Card implant to

Death-watch beetle carry case.

Change it to what

The dictionary allows.

You can’t catch me

Encased as I am

In thick plaster.

Accosted as we were

Taking in the valley scene

Lush verdant armaments 

Prehensile silhouette 

Chaturanga to up dog

Monthly subscription 

Suspended in air 

The slowly falling dive 

Gaseous pigments turning 

Onto the canvas

Immortal sunset

Blasting the day home.

PIZZAFACE


 The best you can hope for 

Is to be a nobody; if line breaks mattered then

Everyone would use 

Them

Pile up on top of dead poets

Empty metal muse

Too much pain in the land dipping frozen

Yogurt over barely moving fingers

Can we help?

Addicted to opiates and sympathy

A victim culture foisted on a wheel chair

Bound scudding over the white cliffs of Dover

What would you have us do? Mental gossamer weighted

Like small honey sacks; those funny bee stocking legs

Chubby with pollen

The garden rosary compost, mildew egg yolk spillage

Treats a golden glow. Now your sad you said.

Now I can’t reach out to anything

Turning inwards combusting 

 

Popped emergency garden bubble

Long talk summer stockings 

Taken over the sea

As you will see.

If you can hear it you must be deaf, swallows screaming come

On England maybe perhaps or whatever

My friend calls from a guesthouse called the

‘Astral Lodge’. That’s where you’ll find me when your down

Around about your lowest ebb; I’ll step in, I’m there, friendship ready

As things get better we’ll loosen the ties; see around bad memory you’ll soon forget. Get a haircut, shave and move on. The low ebb guy: ready, willing and able. For desperate friendship needs. Skulking in the deserted bush shelter of half-asleep nights. The one underneath the shopping precinct; with the air ashy with fumes noxious. Every move a stale mate. All that yoga gone to waste; broken in a minute. Running too fast to keep up, slipped on that old banana skin that was always there, waiting for us to come along, to intersect with its orbit.

Flying now      airborne joy ride bone pleasing backwards snap. The clear-away to get to it, is mostly too much now. The complexities are manifold

Time      lapse integer muffled rapid deterioration paranoid coupe home spun distance learning on-line patter.

Writing with one hand is a ball ache

 

Having a broken wrist is boring

 

And scary and painful

Play the keys like a guitar

Feel the broken bone

Float in jelly twisting sinews 

Lean forward over fat bloated belly

Listen the rain streams from passing cars

Intemperate make shift pain relief

Simple piano house bound

Wet broken summer already

Ended but it keeps on coming

Difficulty like the guy

Who faked it around the world

Looking down as the last bubbles rise up.
