heel to elegance
but don't let it stew in you
one detached glance up
from your stooped bow
and you'll see

be a calm fellow
fluent amongst urgency
paper over breath
keep grave distance and cleansed wits
flourish no void currency

I

Token of luck
to drown out the hush
how best can we serve
this nervous piston ?

II

Fool moon of fusion
this ugly mission
a dunce
tight with loss
mitt in fist
with the lady grace delusion

III

Black plastic bag
take in a drag
         a hearty lung full
of these blemishes

IV

down on the dock
canal
          by the lock
heavily patrolled
this ugly fission

V

Black plastic bag
take in a drag
a heady strong glut
huff out this menace

VI

Under a bridge
many vacate
lush bathe in the drink
who can afford
                        the plush cushion of reason ?

Pendulum beds and woes
        accounts for the urgent night
The clock is choring

Feverish nocturnal motion
Animals thread a little heat through the eve
Aerial beings stir the air
A quick beat can be drawn

Underlying ...
     fear is foundation of excitement
and anxious youth take this strum
        to their clumsy congress

The worrisome world
        has heaped up
The act of days
         distended
The workweeks edifice
        bares a stubborn plaque

This knotted bind loosens in the nights
and desperatly so
        in weekend blowouts

Time
when regarded
          is personally distorted

Time
the machine
          doesn't ebb and grow
It pits mechanism energy
          against its own material death

Night span
           repaves
         the diurnal degrade

The Night is where we can be re-met
            receive our charge
            and obtain a revision

down to the river
to wash my hands free
of another sots mud

i relieve my lies in the bushes
i shrug acts
           lax from my shoulders
bathe off soft data

merely a being
and that is all

solved

Disperse             this hearse driven feeling
  clap it between monkey symbols
    matter-**** it
   unridden
  to the currents

out
  from under
        the murky work
               thirst
and the media
that dictates the worst   idea of my personality
and into the great dunder maws
                            of the life humour

rude verbal attack

vulgarity
                 heaves from me

can't unmake the bout

become unmanageable

deconstruct our good union
