Today I noticed
crows being loud and hyper in the morning.
there was a bad milk to Rice Krispies ratio.
the tiled floor was cold on my bare feet.
that my friend sounds kinda middle eastern on the phone.
how my mam got angry when I threw the banana peel out the window.
the thunder clouds giving me a headache and leaving me dizzy.
that it’s hard to contain a lot of beer in the mouth when wanting to...
Six word story
This is not six words.

POEM-Solpemumopp
In standing still
with the crackling smile of bricks
slung river melting off
and all the various pretendings beside.
Laughs drunk up from the grass
little thunders of these slow shoes
all going away from the main
thing that trips out
like a hyper robber
late or early when crows cry
and all the things to think climb their ladders.
I knocked a stone wall down
with my shins today.

POEM-Out on the tiles
I’m waiting in the queue
not knowing what to do
deliberating on showing my ID before
those bouncers ask me to
and I’m just minding my own business
in line with all these drunken friends
hearing the clinks of ends of drinks
getting sunk down like water through sinks
just so sober the night already feels over
while floating like a boat on a sea of slur
and some boys go toe to...

POEM-...
now its a blue piece of sponge
singing out a bit of business to the gutter
cats are hanging down low giving high fives
nobody could care for it blinking thoughts away
even when it does not seem so absolved
or despite a wreckless morsel of hyper maybes
eyebrows lifting up and out like cranes
puffing mushroom as if bullying the wood
by the hills that miss the gutter

POEM-In my friend's garden.
The blackbird flapped about
on the grass like a broken accordion
when I got close enough to it
it would sit still as if trying to hide
behind those few green blades of grass.
It was only protecting its young
willing to become a martyr
beside the hedgerow full of sharp twigs.
POEM-That Cat Chase.
I snuck small like an elf following behind a cat
while it sat tucked meowing out calls
then ran like fuck not allowing itself to be patted
so I ran right ahead after it down an alley with high walls
had I known where the alley led past the shoddy gutters and telephone poles
then in my head I would have said God no not at all
and run fast back the way instead
because thats where...
POEM-...
didn’t ever left me so much and it awful funny
no not half back the way they came since the good while
they went off to go vanished from out the air off and out
car going out the way soon with inside pulled the lot of me in to go down to sit
no clue on me was it at all at all here or there now to do
I do be there a wonder to it where they all go and went with it out of why
and I stuck...
POEM-We'll Go There Then.
we got out of the car
and danced around
drinking weird water
from the outdoor tap
feeling so full of pizza
when I looked through
our conversation
to the deserted house
by the railway
and the mist coming along
down the slope
of the green hill
POEM-The Dance of the Ant Colony

POEM-Some day in the nineties
nobody cried when it all happened
there was no noise in the air
where pigeons wandered
looking down on toothy metal
intertwined with faces and legs
on the ground the oil oozed
painted its own idea of the place
when it mixed with the water by the gutter
for some few lost minutes it was calm
before the rush of sirens
came in like a Zulu army
and the people assuming stances
by their...

POEM-BIG FAT BULLFROG
bullfrog bobbled up from pond
blobbed like a bubble
with bloated big belly slob
bouncing boings about
heard him blurt out grob
oggleboggle buggle boggle
gobbling up grub in its gob
booming and bobbing
sitting in mossy fobs
before hobbling back
below the black bog
Today
POEM-Tec
as the evening sinks
below the far away trees
we sit on the dry grass
in my old childhood field
smoking mango tobacco
with the moon
and its light
blooming through
the milky clouds
watching the silhouettes
of bats flying
as if set off
like elastic bands
the dogs bark
above our conversations
remembering when we
were teenagers
and how nothing much
has changed at all
POEM-Sleeping and Sleeping.
I stepped inside
was shown to my room
a store room
with a bed
someone already
sleeping there
snoring and shuffling
grey hair dug into pillow
maybe it was the wrong room
no said someone on the hall
then I lay down
and slept on the damp carpet.
My fingers had a rave.

POEM- Not sure if you'd call it one.
thinking is like being in a slow motion coma or floating in a foam ocean
and now my blinking blurs in motion as if it were a low shutter speed camera
until I begin sinking between these bleary seas and cluttered reveries
too unflexed to get set free feeling too seized and full of wheeze and depleted of stamina
and now my head feels heady already with my legs unsteady and tummy turning fed...
POEM- Being stuck inside a tamagotchi of today...
dreams
sneezes
opens eyes
falls asleep
dreams
wakes up
brushes teeth
looks in the mirror at red eyes
eats rice krispies in front of relatives
sneezes six times
looks out window at horses
watches thunderstorm
holds hand out window to be hit with rain
strums guitar
puts on shoes
decides against climbing into the attic
takes off shoes
chops avocado
eats a lot
drinks milk
watches...
