Waking up (old)
At three of the clock
I wake and glimpse through the window
I see how the world has been
drawn in pencils,
the coal-grey houses in their
pyramid hats and the paler silhouettes
behind them
where the artist has been kinder
to the light papery sky,
lit with only the promise of sunrise
and the beckoning of day.
I think about how it works.
Why it works that way.
This whole beautiful shaded grey world,
how is it possible?
Before four of the clock
I have completed this poem.

The Internet
I've had my Google goggles on
Webmistress
Just to see if I could
Get your name
You're very pretty
And I like that you make
Children's TV
But the thing is
You could just as easily
find me
If you had as much
time to waste
It's only nine minutes
past three

Go fuck

I see
I see you’ve wrapped the scarf around your arm again
So how did the
Blood get beneath the nail on your middle finger then
We’re walking on sunshine
I know you’re spending time alone with suicidal friends
It’s almost funny
I wonder will you join them in their tragicomic ends
We’re walking on sunshine
Woah-oh
I can hear you scream abuses at the helpless and the strong
You get a kick
From killing animals because you know it’s wrong
We’re walking on sunshine
Woah-oh
Don’t it feel good
You...

First
i carved it
with a compass point
the little pinkie-nail sized symbol
a chinese letter meaning 'innocent'
on my white, white
inner wrist skin
& then another
meaning 'wolf'
how bloody naïve of me
you see back then
i didn't know
when you scratch subcutaneous fat
you can see the veins
like the stringy red
you pick from chicken fillets
and with the silver point
you can pluck
and poke
and think yourself a master of self-sculpture
but that doesn't matter now ...
