October alreadyon the last night
of september
server shudder
sends out
too many emails
it's always 11.52
when
I'm
prevaricating
*
flat screen hd tv
in a
red wheelbarrow
hard rubbish
going home
*
the nazi train
full of gold
in a railway tunnel
in Poland
we don't know where
*
fog delays
seeing double
cirriform recedes
in a chemtrail wake
over Punchbowl
spraycan
can spray
everyone's a welder
*
the food
section
how to eat
an
ortolan
cover your head
with a cloth
shield your shame
but know
your Bottega Veneta napkin
deserves no stain
shoot
the nutribullet
*
the other
food
section
Trastevere
from them there is
the top of the street
food of quality
now a legend
where lick
a moustache
*
the train
full of gold
is in
Wałbrzych
we don't know
if it is
booby trapped
*
you're the salt
in my stew
*
an ash threat
volcano blows
in the east
in the summer
of my 67th year
I join
the carbon cycle
go wading
in radioactive plume
*
microbes
determine
every difference
including
intelligence?
or
the appearance
of intelligence
could somebody
sign me on
for some
of the artificial stuff
*
a Futurama concept -
'super speed'
win $200
&
in one day
spend it
on
50 cups
of $4
coffee
drink them
to achieve
super speed
it'll be great
*
sold to a wrecker
for a speck
carless in car city
sideways ear rocks
a vacuum
of phantasm
too-too icelandic music
bluetooth car kit a fad
devotional drumming
frosted electronica
though predominant
in the end
that Gotye song
was too simple
*
saving for a spoiler
& sheer line
panel design
shelf-stacking
cool rooms
to make the money
to make
ends meet
sick of night
freezing
in frayed gloves
*
you're the lace
in my shoe
*
ban cigarettes
& the entire jail
riots
*
glance
at the green digital numbers
on the little oblong panel
on the plastic clock radio
in the bookshelf
11.52 again
has the clock stopped?
*
write
a line for the trees
in Ashmore St
sunset racket
birdchirp
batshriek
big dark shade
farewell trees
*
don't you want
to laze around
on a warm
& airy paddock
put the top down
follow the curves
*
all of it is lies
tears well
onside the eyes
sound's white noise
round the house
*
a man
in orange dayglo
& a comical plastic helmet
bangs each lightpole
with a hammer
bam bam bam bam
sounds more like
thwok thwok
notes its number
on a clipboard
looking for whiteants
old technology
hammer pen clipboard
