Night School
The van pulled up in the car park of the large supermarket just outside town. It was past midnight and almost pitch dark, given the lack of streetlight, which had been shut off by the council after eleven as an energy-saving measure. The van was black and unmarked.
Its door slid open and five men jumped out, dragging a sixth behind them. They all wore black turtlenecks, jeans, trousers, and trainers, like fascist Blackshirts updated to the 1990s. The sixth was thrust by the scruff of his neck up against the closed door by a man with large upper arms and a permanent, sardonic...

Beards & Breakdowns
It always starts with a beard -
The breakdown.
After days bleed into weird -
The falling frown.
Realization behind silver
Filaments, crawling
Under the surface layer
Of the lit up mirror.
Precision of vision bright -
Madness is quite
The sight
Tonight.
Gnarly follicles screaming.
Wild hair dreaming.
All seeming -
Freeing.
Like
Detachment adjacent
to
Detachment
Unhinged
Lunatic fringe...
Madness begins...
The breakdown.
After days bleed into weird -
The falling frown.
Realization behind silver
Filaments, crawling
Under the surface layer
Of the lit up mirror.
Precision of vision bright -
Madness is quite
The sight
Tonight.
Gnarly follicles screaming.
Wild hair dreaming.
All seeming -
Freeing.
Like
Detachment adjacent
to
Detachment
Unhinged
Lunatic fringe...
Madness begins...

Stay away
Narrow slit eyes
Follow me
Wherever I go
Moving through
Darkened alleys
Back and forth so slow
Listen for my breath
And line me in chalk
You can't go
Where I go
Stay away
I see the hidden knife
Drowning in malaise
You can't have my life
If this isn't making sense
Don't complain
Just stop reading
You've nothing left to gain
If paranoia grips you
And tragedy you can't turn away
Find its soulless eyes
And set your fixated gaze
Follow me
Wherever I go
Moving through
Darkened alleys
Back and forth so slow
Listen for my breath
And line me in chalk
You can't go
Where I go
Stay away
I see the hidden knife
Drowning in malaise
You can't have my life
If this isn't making sense
Don't complain
Just stop reading
You've nothing left to gain
If paranoia grips you
And tragedy you can't turn away
Find its soulless eyes
And set your fixated gaze

Golden Cages and Broken Dolls
Stupid ceremony and so much recompense
Apologies falling from my mouth
I wanted to be yours so badly
I just can't shake these thoughts
Is marriage really just a golden cage...
I'm not a bird here for I've never had wings
Just a Patchwork doll with busted seams
Left feeling like a doll dragged through icy water
Pushing needles into my skin just to keep going
Twisting them to make sure I bleed
Where would I even go if I were to leave
Marriage solves so many problems in life
He tells me he'll take care of me forever
But is...

Microcosmos
Disasters in dross taken into impeccable
Methodology of microcosmos transcendence
Moments deem secret windows attainment
Fibre optic vision xenon transistor sites
Initiatory mechanism placement in place
Institutional everything as integration
Gleaming monad at the height of the depth
Circumference of realization is the way
Everything is duality paradox quantum
Pathway is wonder in mechanical moves
Craft interplays in the interface of place
What was made shall be remade to invade
Solitary outsider mind in states of...

Jonathan Dimbleby- the sycophantic midget!
By Stanley Collymore
Oh shut up Jonathan Dimbleby!
You're trying to write another
book; so clearly any scandal
will therefore suffice it apparently
seems Jonathan Dimbleby. Have
you truthfully, really forgotten
what you clearly, undeniably
wrote, Jonathan boy, about
your Charlie Windsor and
his personal relationship
with his remote parents
who he couldn't stand?
Supposedly not! However,
I guess it's rather easy to
conveniently lose your
memory when there's a chance to ...

Words of Love
they’ve been spoken
in my direction before
reflexively I turn
to see who they’re aimed at
the assumption stings at first
but you get used to it
hope is more dangerous
in my direction before
reflexively I turn
to see who they’re aimed at
the assumption stings at first
but you get used to it

Penetrate and maintain hold of the vision.
Penetrate
The world
is
a hyperbaric chamber
over
my heart,
and
my veins
are
circulations

sometimes.
It has always been thus;

Tory MP Natalie Elphicke's preference for white sexual predators but hate for Black player missing UEFA final penalty!
By Stanley Collymore
A convicted criminal is precisely
that Natalie Elphicke even if he
happens to be your cherished
and totally enabled husband;
unless eventually, they're lawfully
and decidedly so quite evidently
and specifically, exonerated of
that very crime; and crucially
irrespective, of their gender,
race; their lawfully engaged
in coital inclination; chosen
religion or none, fast clung
to social standing and key
vital connections or living
on the edge - with no life
of any...

I Confessed
Auditors have power
A bit like critics
Everyone’s scared of them
And pretend more than usual
A bit like critics
Everyone’s scared of them

Abhorrent affliction
Apprehensive atmosphere
Closed around him with
Hateful hostility
Menacingly mocking
As his autonomy
Fearfully faded
Abhorrent affliction
Creeps in from
Secretive shadows
Vainly claiming
It's conquered
Feeble frailty
Closed around him with
Hateful hostility
Menacingly mocking
As his autonomy
Fearfully faded
Abhorrent affliction
Creeps in from
Secretive shadows
Vainly claiming
It's conquered
Feeble frailty

Structures of Vacancies
The shadows always drift -
Wind over the surface of snow.
Resonation of reflection.
Contemplations of time & space -
Falling into a chalice of absence.
Where once there was substance -
Now, there is only space.
The reinvention of the senses -
In alignments, that dissolve.
Afflictions of retro-causal awareness.
Lessons that lessen emotive placement.
Will to feel in recycled recognition.
Consciousness watching consciousness.
Sum of numb into cold circulation.
This...
