Shorts from Marilyn Monroes's Autopsy
Trigger Happy
Every night he pretended to shoot himself in front of her
enjoyed her pleas and screams as the blanks fired.
Time for change, she decided wearily,
swapping live bullets for the blanks,
time for change, he arrogantly decreed,
‘tonight I will pretend to shoot the baby’
Skin’phonies
Strung at the throat, each
sinew a symphony of strings
in the unforgiving space between skins.
Sex tourniquet binds bleeding guitar wounds
to drum beating, louder than bombs
Glassed in Portsmouth
...

an unclarity of meaning
bloke in the café
said he’d met W H Auden
just before he died

probably miss one or two
my poems have always been
ephemeral and I might try
to save a few but in general they were
always doomed to die

The Shape I'm In
How much I miss
to moss in love
holding the mold
to gorgon stone
lifetimes ago, this
ancient road.
Horizons beam
my wanderlust dream:
I am dim
of years away
from the final
dandelion blaze,
still sleek from behind
with the Sun going down
‘til morning lurks
to hone the worm
& I (...alone,
...

Unicorn Gasoline
Taurine,
creatine,
unicorn-
gasoline.
Ball peen
to the spleen.
Nineteen-ounce
in fûck machine.
G-spot-
torn jeans,
OBG my needs
obscene.
Charlie Sheen
runnin' lean,
you're my queen
amphetamine.
Spill the bean,
I'm Mr. Clean.
I'll shine you like
the last latrine.
My d¡ck's a fiend,
it can't be weened.
Incubus,
the demon king.

Mauwin' Down Maui
Rollin' through the gears
with my friend's friend, Holly.
Panigale haulin' tears.
Is she stolen? Well, prolly.
No helmet. No fears.
Missionary on molly.
Wally side-swipin' mirrors,
shearin' off a Bugatti.
Better down another beer;
Cali Sol, not sorry.
Goin' off the fuckin' rails
on a red Ducati.
Sun melanin our rears,
set back and do a stoppie.
Marley mellowin' my ears;
Holly wailin' melancholy.
Playin' slalom, duck, and cheers!
Sparkin' rings around the trolley. ...

Earth Crimes
We tore the last tree down
burned butterfly wings
pretended things
would be Ok
We joined the queue
at the church of too late
and waited
to be saved
still counting our dollars
while we looked the other way
burned butterfly wings
pretended things
would be Ok
We joined the queue
at the church of too late
and waited
to be saved
still counting our dollars
while we looked the other way

Fare Farrfair
felt fucking awful
for filling flat falafels
from Farrah's faucet air.
It should be unlawful to
flatulate falafels from
faulty derrieres!

Rotting Fruit
I couldn't give a hoot
for democratic fruit
but when the govercunt
you voted for
dons new designer suits
It's like they've grabbed you
by the balls
to promise ripe bananas
when there's almost none at all
thanks to Mr Charmer
They swiped the winter fuel
set cold hardship on the table
while in white warm corridors
fat quangos much on mangoes
as they contemplate their navels
They talked up cleaner greener
when what they meant

Two Worlds
My shopping list:
organic carrots
purple sprouting broccoli
sweet potatoes
salmon fillets
manuka honey
chocolate eclairs
Her shopping list:
two handfuls of rice
& water
from the well.
