FILM SET FOR VAN HEFLIN
Van Hefflin eats jallepenos
in flapping tent
On Hollywood film set dust bowl 1948
garbage ans Hershy bar wrappers float to sky
and Jimmy Cagney spits in a bucket
not yet discovered stars look down from heaven
crank up the canvas for badge of honour
and set the scenery alight
in flapping tent

BUDGIE
Budgie squawks
pisses of to Paris for the weekend
and craps on people
from the top of the Eifel Tower
refuses to answer his mobile
and will never come down

Disintegration
Aniversaries are never easy
it is one year today
since the boy in the plastic jumper disintegrated
so go out in style in a cardboard box
stay stationary near traffic lights
10 hours later people will open the lid
and wonder how you got there
finding it empty
they will wonder
where you gone
and transfered your shape so easily

ALICE IN BLUNDERLAND
Alice has messed up her life
the white rabbit shot
the mad hatter is in the asylum
tweedle dee nd tweedle dum succumbed to depression years ago
and Alice weeps a river of tears
alone in this silence of this city life

LIZA JANE
The days are long
the time goes slow
where are you now my gigilo
the sun shines bright on window pane
the screaming waste of Lisa Jane

BOLT HOLE
Zilch time at mouses luxury apartment
in the sky
no skirting board that flaked
everything shiny and new
this isn't a bolt hole for mouse
needs hole in ground to survive
mousetraps are nothing suspended in air
in the sky

ZODIAC UTOPIA
A walk in the clouds
clicking clacking of the high heeled shoes
on zodiac utopian kissing dreams
Wednesday draws to a dead close
and your name remains on the same old love bullet
