Missed the bus
Inflamed hip
Council flat
Tired of it
Tired

My uncle
Half mongrel
Half other breed
Left centred
Squatters rights
The Addams  pack
Practicing violent fights

Animals cruel
Rabbits steal
knifes stainless steel
Wednesday run down
Punctured her head
Like a cantaloupe
Gone
Catching air like an antelope  
hope will demand
Alarms on her arms
An arms deal
Needs a stronger hand

Mimes a new language
He's coming
Tell him
Visualise prison bars
She reigns in Spain
Running
I wouldn't say she's hope empty

Make a list
Don't get ******
You're doing a rat of a job
A cat
Wouldn't pay a dog for
Report will contain details
Will break his teeth
Backing up lips and tongue
Mums only son
Born one
And a half
A nursery kingpin
Pet giraffe

Morning.

A shangri-la soaking
Warm climate fat rain in the bath
A mystical
soon to be revealed pebble path

Sun crashing through the clouds
beating on bubbles

Bubbles rippling skywards
creating secret constellations
That glisten in the sea

A new power shower
with some steaming hot water
has sprung a poem
out of me.

This October day of corpulent rain
rain that ran lively down cracks of sill
Into a draft filled damp frame
ill-lit room potted in arbitrary holes
floorboards ripped up worn as old flames.

The crevis in the corner
for a stink and stained mattress
stuck with pins to soften the pain
The coroner mapped his route.

Like a loaf loaded
with yet to bleeding blossom
lorazepam all fifty milligram
this what happens when you sack sam

Sick fan sycophant tell a man he can't
land a grand piano from a roof top
a belly flop on four legs makes sense
If not got a ***** top on the old mop

Intense chatter in the earlobe
oil dope in the fancy trench coat
take paper please simply note there's no hope
slick as slippery soap we got no back

This plane ten eleven years hijacked
a long way to find some actual senses
hit the train track practice bench pressing
Impact of the last note worth knowing

Easy bowling down loners alley
Instant as all striked out.

Me and the dog twist and jostle
a colossal cotton squawking parrot
grunt talking this is mine swine
a ****** beast at times

knees grazing, scrapping holding ground
grip slipping summon Ali-Liston thinking
win and pulverise kept creature
revel in doggy defeat

dead heat nobody gives
until the yellow slit beak does first
savvy ears hear the rip and like a tearing bear
jolts back, up, down, with owning grip and growl

Fool - hound mastered the ****
engorges full breast, rings the threaded neck
deadens its fighting squeak
amateur clings to the silly beak

Bird majority in mangy jaws
the war of parrot pull well and truly his
stopped still. in stare his eyes enlarge and glare
left-overs drop from sloppy gob -
dumb dog wants the beak.

Pam
Pam wear me welterweight
beached in butterfly arms
Bright huts twinkle blighty eyes
a disguise.

Faces flair
wished elsewhere
sick cluedo:
Plath
In bath
with turned on toaster
Roller coaster

on slick rails of sleepy lids
down a doused mouth
crooked in upward bend
the baby rattles rattle
rattled in the end
powder descending hills
Till I gobble the goblet further

stump to a tower of transient treats
toss bosses in storms
called Paulie
and shake shake my box in Jest

Pam makkah in hajj
Hell o' a love
I got the bug.

The colour shade invading my eyes
a complex never again red
a towel tightly gripped and rung out
claims the space my dehydrated brain
once stood all dopamine-serotoniny
bright lights and last nights boogie
does not hope for a better ending
I make it look seaside easy
I take it harder than most.
