2nd June 2011 (Ali Pali)
wind sun & gusts
& more gusts
my neck is loosening
three days of stiff neck
I RISE AGAIN!
"that child sounds like a goat!"
my allergies have disappeared for the day
Sainbury's plastic bag
across giant park lawn
my converse grey hat
flattened
under smelly old black
backpack
my right sock says
CAT
my left sock says
NOTHING
a stern congregation
of black birds
spread out all over the field
on other field:
Indians
in starched whites
spread out
whacking & throwing a little round ball
"I was thinking we cd have garlic bread"
a white boy
goes by on a kite
Mr. Koch’s Ancient Art of Wooing
each train hides another train that black dust
toward the post office
sometimes I am the person that wrote this
wrote that
but sometimes I don’t
at the beginning
the painting wants to get off
Popyeye was in his chair
reading William Blake
Ewa is very fair
Koch had a head of hair
and time is a big tower
like Big Ben
with all the major parts ahead of you
time is merry like the sun
when you have it
license plates and diamonds
and just for my sake
with yr shoes off you are
like an umbrella
orange yellow bright
come on
let’s talk
a walk
to the traffic lights
the arch ruby of this early June rain
how easily to command the time and space syndrome
what was I then and who are you?
this is a town I don’t want to leave
HORSE HOSPITAL (CENTRAL LONDON)
Bernard Street
Harbrand Street
Colonade
Arrive at Horse Hospital
****************************
because we collide into
each other
a storm on crutches
slipping vasoline
oh Ben Maddox
xx
****************************
sex sex sex
love love love
meat meat meat
muffins muffins muffins
this is more about directions
than stars
a moist shoe in the red
oh
pluck pluck
that velvet glow
sir general
vanitas
is it dancing?
****************************
so we'll take a break
and Paul will find
Tesco
and Chris will come with open
jacket and open arms
and I'll blow
my money on the best shit being published (USA)
and the clunks will click click click
in my nose
who knows who knows
the paintings by Taboo
scougey scoygey doooooo
we love you
