POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I have come to chew bubble gum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubble gum.
It's hard being a part of everything
Especially when
your seat remains
empty at the scene
but filling the air
with questions
demanding
answers.

Worn out beats
I didn't need any
electronic music
playing in my
ear-phones
as I listened
to numbness
throwing up
in the toilet,
I watch her
throwing up
all her little
grey matters
thinking to myself
how it starts taking
the biscuit in the
brain department,
to watch somebody
end up becoming
an entire shitshow
only to find yourself
having to piece back
together all of the
wild nonsense
they want to
throw...

Ocular
I sit watching
feathers extend
in abstract flair
making shadows
on pavements
beneath trees
in full bloom,
I consider the
courageous
fuckery in
all of it
to remain
a shadow
that keeps
on dancing
as a yellow
Goliath belts
down to earth
with magnified
glass in hand.

The triplet tribe
There's twins
who regularly
do night shifts
inside my store
non-identical,
he's a jack
the lad type
always has
a comeback
for anything
thrown down
the headsets
and mumbles
like south-east
road men who
claim joggers
are clothes,
she's a quiet
kind of chick
always gets on
reserving her
opinions until
shift curtains
come to close
of course, always
filling me in on her
thoughts as every
member...

In my twenties
I thought I had
it figured out
but today
I breathe a
sigh of relief
knowing very
little about
anything.

This one's for the kid
who sat in
the corner
beating that
shadow on
the wall.
