Trapped in the moment
escaping with rhyme
Words to my rescue

re:
a blue wave over me
sanctified
and pure

the freshness
has its
allure

but the tide
is a lie

pulled back into
the depths

i’m more
comfortable here
in midnight
black

“in the back with the
racks and the stacks”

time
slowed

a tune in my ear
i walk the
lonely road
Continuity
yes
that's the key
radio 4 or
radio 3
never let you down
not like that
everlasting toffee
gone in five minutes
and remembered for
five more,

continuity
the key to the doors we open
and sometimes close behind us,

it's the going on that goes on
the getting up and doing
the courting after the wooing
and the young
those springs yet to be sprung,
the roundabout
the circles about which we turn
and in turns
it goes and comes around.

the future is the fog of chaos crashing into us at the speed of life and fading into the blurry past

Radiohead wails OK Computer
from Alexa archive
Jack glugs from a freshly
unsealed present from my wife
am I hip like Motorhead
or just another tipsy old dad
I wonder what Urbex explorers
would discover if they
crawled through my letter box
into this mess of a kitchen
onion makes me cry
something I never did
as a child
cheese and ham
how much **** can I cram
into this frying pan
an alchemical cupboard
of herbs and spices pervades
my sense of smell
am I brave enough
should I have beans
I’ll only eat half a can
people are starving somewhere
out of date packets call
do you feel lucky punk
but sliced beef for **** sake
who can resist that
a forgotten sandwich
never made
the truth in the pan
unmixed ingredients
never mind says bourbon head
it’s all the same
gas ring ignites
north sea pipelines
fishermen risking their lives for
for Brexit quota lies
the fiery grill, another bourbon
once you pop
small one in a big glass
carnage of packet autopsy
for the morning after
waits

heartfelt match
endlessly searching
two as one
where is the power house,
metal books he said.

concrete palaces for those
that prey.

he grew it plant like,
fought it,
numbered it
thirteen.
