Traffic lights
Traffic lights are for wimps
that flash on and of like your mood
red is strawberry
amber is honey
green is lime
all jam
that's
what
I
am

categorizing ourself
How to put yourself in contention
speak a lot
mainly to yourself
because the woman who walks
along street
long dress swirling around her legs
so sweetly
wont recognise you
under sunshaded eyes
your on the other side of the street
will never meet again
will never go to bed together
there will be
no forever
no
rings
moons
or stars of eternity
just this one fleeting prescence
immortal and extreme
enigmatic and delicious
Like you have been walked over
her high heels
somehow sank
into your soul...

Self portrait
Five Mexicans pissing in that old tin bucket
and carnivals of cotton candy and you
said Arthur Lee
snow turns yellow
autumns mellow
fruits n fusion of blue sun rays
these are the never days
They can show us love
n Hollywood deserves that smack across its face
the luckiest guys in town were Laurel and Hardy
all those years ago
saw the new skyscrapers being developed
constructed next to palm trees
and smack hard pavements
That was years ago
another century
when people laughed
Houdini was still in his prime
or was...

Road map motorway bedroom
Jesses face in the beet root
was just a pattern
often happen
nudist camp
catch22
kangaroo
Years ahead
eons behind
same old story
instant karma
for jolly farmer
on BBC panorama
shifty drama
behold New York Ozone memory
street car named desire
St Louis fire
man it's dire
let's all order trash from same tv shopping channel
clog the postal system up
don't give a fuck
Right click on pic
top of screen
not obscene
be a jigsaw every day
send it...

Outside this box of boundaries
Outside box
sunflower dance
slap heels on cracked concrete pavements
duvet du pont is 60 today
hurray and all that shit
Lets blitz the shops today
smile at botoxed
faceless shop workers
selling ribbons and kisses by the dozen
for you today
Duvet
Rain will spread later from south
open your mouth
let it drench your tongue
remembering when you were young
and this were not the plan
anniversary squaw married to man
And your art is downtown
on every street corner
adorn her scorn her
your never forgotten...

Saturday
Saturday with Saffron is right
all along they just knew it
nothing pretentious and false
just real deal
They knew
Love should be all this
first sensuous kiss
And saffron sweated from her brow
Love swept there and now
On dark dismal Saturday afternoons
In November
curtain drawn
day forlorn
Only the two of them to tell
desires
secrets
lovers lies
the world outside this room resides
it do's not exist
just resist
And you will both die
whatever thy
Lips have touched
all ends in coffin...

What a gas
Buffon hair do
get me a large gin
sleep for a couple of hours
to calm down within
Listening to the 13 th floor elevators
and the trout nail axle greased skipping ropes
all hardy beings are on board
all have self portraits
Of creases in profile
it's only old age
gender and rage
and will you take me to your leaders daughter
even though you never oughtn't
stop fawning to Kim Sun Moon
Korea and June
Paddy fields are bare
so don't go over there
wanted a person to accompany me to events
be my answering machine...

party time at Dummies
Exploded out of the blocks this morning
timing perfect to catch the bus
Later we threw a silent party
where no one spoke
but just observed the body language of humans
Love of silence as the night wore on
for the strength that is solitude
no need for words
when love is all around
Life is the puzzle
when we speak
only then
does the jigsaw
fall
into
place

It's all unethical
I took my pet pig to dinner
we did not have roast pork
It was unethical to think off
really gets pissed off being called names
for being a veggie asperger hog
answers to god from his sty
so retro
and sly
copies the minutes of the meetings from Natonal farmers union
don't trust them one bit
no sir eye
just gives fellow beings the cold eye
thinking ,I told you so,
don't forget to tell pig how much you care
you may not get a second chance
one way trip to
dinner table

Mr Green
Mr Greens small night
type of takes of fits up there with page losers and cold radio
treble niceness all day
building up at restaurants
under the moon
this June
a rock screams out
the days follow days
blips in between
for my sugar queen
star day
swallow day
divorce day
here's day
bake night
navday
moonlight again
false death is reigned in
it's a big big city
little day in
means big night out
type of takes of fits up there with page losers and cold radio
treble niceness all day

a rock screams out

blips in between

bake night

it's a big big city
little day in

Shaba
Parrot is in drag
Shana is pregnant again
Dylan Thomas paid a visit to his grandpas
Lived down from Swansea it was not far
Meaning of life was in a star
earth is a very attractive prospect for some
Rings ,Henry and his mum
Did you know Rothschild was never really rich
and his wife was just a bitch
knowledge is power
power is control
so pray today and save your soul
PS... Xmas card was opened today
and Armagedon came early

Daddys drunk
in Dublin bar
optics lined up
behind the counter
shining down on all the banter
bookies are not open yet
another hour before you bet
on two flys running up the wall
