a woman – as the day’s scene
set in rendered sun, a blossom
for a moment brushed by petals,
is a moment that has never been
but seems to speak
volumes of being – as through
her stem, the fuse drives only truths.

He loves the cut-ups and shuffles that some might think folly;
that's why his favorite musical's Hello Dali.

There once was a Blargy dude,
Who subtlety often eschewed.
The man wrote haiku,
Poetic and true,
And few were especially lewd.

Some say she's a super hero
other just that she's cool -
some think quite the opposite,
but me, I have no clue.

A collection
of letters.
Squiggles
on a blank page
make meaning
Off page, off color but only a break meaning means what it is intended to mean.
But, ajc
such a collection
a movement
in alpha, betty.
No betabet
No first goes by a second.
No nothing more
Than 3 squiggles.
Mister ajc knows
Missus ajc knows
Mummy and Daddy knows
How you gonna know something
unless you know it.
AJC
A capital user.
I will cuddle each letter until they smile.

If HarryHoskins was a name
it would fit you
better than a tight active name like
Jiu-jitsu
The Jarvises and Dylans
are too pagey
And the Micks and the Aarons
too cagey
It would be of the kind
or like scribbled line
when the letters made nice
like they used to

She is she
Sheila is
She-izzle
La dizzle
The she
that is the we
that is the he
that is the me.
You see
we are the we
we are the me
we are the he
we are all she.
No way without a she or a Sheila
that any antipodeans exist.

His finger is in all that transpires
A bright sunny day at the beach
Friends holding hands like barbed wire
Tips on water safety he should teach.

Ole B. D.'s a miracle worker,
not a doctor, damn it.
Ever seen him juggle
two poems, a story, and a child?
Beam the man a scotch.

How
can I save a private
when he's been promoted.
Further
to this
the man wears a mask.
A masked man
does not want to be found
out.

all over this theatre
for rye
an
I only found this box to doff my cap in.
I guess the bear did wander.

LizaJane used to play folk songs off the back of an old truck
when she was too young to give a *
Now she's cleaned up well enough to make a buck
and a different set of boys feels out of luck.
(N.B.: I have no idea who this person is, just kidding around.)

Blarg got his name
from a bottle drunk
and knows about after
effects.
He'd paid pretty pennies
for those body guards
to seize him and seize his assets.
A valuable man
should always be seized
he heard that once so
they say.
A contraband man
A man counter-cultured
A man who is less groan than grown.
I figured he knew
from all his smart vocal
about constructing constructed constructs.
A biological turn
In a play where the
actress is a dish; worth shaking.
And where'd this fear come from?
This petrified rockform?
This tube with a view?
This man who could do so much more.
Solid is blarg
split on the pavement
an idea in a perfect form.
A delta of things
afraid of those rings
not tones dear but those golden ones.
The sun may well rise
On a son so despised
but in the end
the night covers us all.

^He ain't right, it's often been said
Got somethin' strange goin' on in his head

LizaJane with the penchant for unfinished projects
waits ...
until the right vista comes into view.
She rides a railroad without tracks
A girl rumbles on into landscape
and there ain't no
better place than that.
Out there, amongst the red dirt of the land
Voices spring from earth
She listens
When even the land has gone to sleep
She waits
up all night
For her to come.
And if she don't -
Say she's too busy,
Or say - just maybe - she's having too much fun
Then the waiting was worth it
And the sleep then can come.
She travels to a spun world of music
the hum of wheels speak enough
the hardly tuned radio
picks up songs from the past
And everything sings, sometimes.
The weather she travels
cuts lines on her face
and each band of pressure
works its way
deep beneath nails
Singing.
She rides through the world watching
sunsets eyes on fast moving horizons
mists forming, drifting
seeing clouds teach from a classroom sky
then rain themselves out.
In heavy heart beats on the roof of her car.
In delicate sheets that slow down to touch her.

Perscribo on receipt
as scripted for the scribe
is scribbled on a page,
repeated by prescript
for poetic placebo.

Here lies one man
both of whom
are dead.
Not burned
(though fantasy ignites)
but burnt and not real-light
(adult whimpers don't spark).
Kborsden
scorched by the touch
of blue paper souls.
Here lies the man
both of whom
are dead
One lies one side
scene never green
The other
lies
wordless, brown, formless
a mystery; things unsaid
passing to his partner
remains of conversation dead.
And they crawl in
and they crawl out.
The dirge rings out!
Curves of bells
Undulate
Upwards!
To reach the top
Downwards!
Laughter at beating life
At the bottom one can top oneself.
Those bells cast in youth
Remember
Nora Batty belfrys
tights too wrinkled to do your biddy[ing]
You sit and listen
Cicada towers
Bishop Love buzzing up
Bishop hate buzzes down
An neither one a flying none [Sibilance]
Sibyls and Sybil fight
Kborsden
Laughs at the latters
Professional arsehole sight
Looks for good teeth in the former
Professional gift horse slight.
Glasses thick with gravity
Stately home windows
yearly descend
only the curators notice
this worrying trend.
World changing spectacles
peek from the side
life out of focus
impressionistic
mimic
a life not led.
And they crawl in
are chewed
and are shat out.
Rain, heavy and wet
collects
muck
and sails it grandly to the gutter.
One day
One will be
a somebody
and not
a Smith
of Gross words
and diary entries
that only lovers read.
There is warmth in the compost
There is food
There is life
even if there is no light.
