Hey dicksweat
You the one
What
Done
Do it

Gravity is beating up light
But it's a Hollywood fight
Smoke and mirrors
Gravitational lenses
Viewed from the right angle
You can't tell the bar stool is made out of matchsticks
The camera placement as the cowboy slips the punch
The sheriff thrown through the sugar glass
Then it's a wrap for lunch
Or a Star Wars effort
Claiming they got two suns
We knew they were kidding
When the space telescopes come
Now with the Jimmy Webb
He deffo would have approved
Cos by the time he got to Phoenix
The whole universe had moved.

Never March on Moscow
that's  what old Monty said
Its rule one
On page one
not really up for dissent

Rule two
He furthered
Don't take on the Chinese
Within their own vast land
The invisible armies
Of the people
Will swallow your troops
Right where they stand

For those objectives
Are so far away
Across valley steppe and mountain
Bleak and cold and bare
The folk have suffered more
Of which they will not speak
Beyond what you call care

So that's the east's
Intrinsic insurance
When it Comes to boots on the ground
They haven't got the legs
To come too far the other way though
So it's mushrooms
All around.

Somebody's
Rotating my *****
Somebody's
Licking my bell.

Some people
Call em
Opposable thumbs
But I think they were
A great idea.

A fly is squaring
Across the room
You think if he circled
He'd see a bit more
And they do that as well
So it's a definite move
Is he doing
A grid search?
What is he looking for?

Harvey Kietel
Put in one hell of a shift
In Ridley Scott's debut
Before the Alien exist
The genius of the piece
Is the juxtaposition
Of Harvey's
Angry
Unrelenting
Unshakable
Narckiness
Against
Karradines
Weary
Resignation
The more it goes
The funnier it gets.

Prehistoric territoriality
Local government venality
One man who hates the water
A younger seeking knowledge
The last would quite
The ghosts of his past
By quashing what is put there
In the murk.
That's the story of Jaws

If nature abhors a vacuum
Why doesn't she fill us in?
Does she know where the voids are?
Or how they did begin?
Cos there's plenty of em out there
As well as within
But they're never completely empty
Just scaresly occupied
Introspection
And space telescopes
Might keep us
Petrified.

Love is the waiting room
They give you something to do
You don't have to complete it though
That onus is on you

Love's the chastisement
They give you a talking-to
Demand you mull
And weigh yourself
Well BOO HOO HOO HOO

Change your name
And I'll give you the world
Relax your neck
And let Rewards unfurl
It's just a name
Don't be so absurd
But david he said no.

Sudden and violent
At peace in your sleep
Or a chance
To say goodbye
As his soft footsteps
Creep.

The Soviets at Darvazza
Tossed a match
To burn the poison
From the well
Forty odd years later
It's still the gates of Hell

The Yanks underestimated
Castle Bravo
At the rate of 2 point 5
It snowed on the Lucky Dragon
It's crew microwaved alive

And again with
The big starfish
Thermonuclear coin
Flipped in the air
Just to see what would happen
A sight that caused despair

The pulse Was bad for business
So they said that's enough of that
Don't the the rest of youse be trying it
Let's all make a pact

The sparrow curses the air
Thinks if he don't flap
He will go faster
So he ceases beating wings
That won't cause disaster.

I think therefore I am
I'm pink therefore I'm spam
These are some one else's words
I'm just a piece o ham.

The burn in what we call muscle
The pull of everyday bustle
How we get the **** out of here
Circle  back to what we become.

You've left the room
You are arguing with people
Who are simply not there
You cross your arms
Bulge your eyes
Half a laugh
To prove that you don't care
About the points
This ******* getting in
That prove you're a fool
Elbows hot
Squinted eyes
the opposite of cool
Thank Christ this only happens to me in the pub
Pity these poor recorded public speakers
Forever cast in their throb.

If you make the crowd laugh
Then you're winning
Doesn't matter
How ****
Your argument is
If your opponent left
Flustered and squirming
He's the one
Who is stinking of ****
Play to the gallery
That's how it is
Like Sun Tzu said
If he's a hot head
Take the ****.

They reckon close to one hundred million
Died in WW2 and the things tied into
Three percent in then current standings     so
Just think how the world would be

With all them antecedents
And then of course
All the **** since
It seems so silly to total up them
As if you make a point that stands up to
Any thing at all

And all the business
Religion and ideology
And family feuds
Personal animosity
The ******* being rude on the bus
And anything that you
Can call a fuss
It's not your fault.

All of humanity's problems stem
From a man's inability to sit
Quietly in a room alone
Well if those words were true
I'd be a king
Upon a throne
But quantity is not quality
Besides there is no enterography
From the inside
To the outside
That gets shown
Pascal wrote that opening
In the mid sixteen hundreds
It's been quoted cameoed
And inspected
It invites you to do
What it says you can't
Irrespective.

Christmas Eve probably 1978
The sweet smell o roasting turkey
From the back kitchen emenates
Albert Finney's Scrooge on the box
The grate hung with three socks
The tree smelling the way
The trees used to smell
Sugared glacier fruits
Banana toffee
Turkish delght
Tangerine
Apple
Pointless vitamins
In the torrent
O *****
Then Jimmy came home
Comedic drunk
Rolled round on the carpet
Spouted his usual  funk
Then crawled up the stairs
And collapsed on the bed
On Christmas morn he thought
That he'd already
Been here
Deja vu
The spirit o Chrimbo
Can make you feel queer.

It lives in silence
The quiet joy
In sudden beauty
You've felt before
It's out the window
Now in your head
A slight restorative
A hunger fed
It'll make you smile
Against your will
And push you on
For good or ill.

I've started to fuse iron within my core
It won't be long now
I can feel innards roar
I read the sign that says exit
Atop the fuzzy door
Just passed
The point that tips
I'll metabolise
And grow no more

Switch off my chromosomes
Like Hisashi Ouchi
It won't be horrific though
Like with that poor *******
Might as well
Dive off of the wagon
C'mon let's get plastered
Swim in the pool
It was fun while it lasted

But you can change
Anytime that you want
It just a choice
Wether to drink
And from which font
Was it the script
Or performance
Made you a useless savant?
Better ask Tom Cruise.

I haven't been employed for awhile
Im a bit fuzzy
My minds turned to mush
Feel somewhat  infantile
No problems to solve
No knobheads to handle
No battles to win
No angles to wangle
Hidden in plain sight
Behind this chain link fence
Nothing to do
Nowt calls me hence
When common care
Causes all to twist and ****
I'll stare at the  wall
While the world is at work.

All life a negotiation
From the global to the quanta
The placing o the terrible weapons
To the sub atomic particles
When you start in with a new love
You see where the borders are
What starts a screaming match
What brings peace and calm
How loud you crank your stereo
Versus the upstairs flats grandkids
Running round like micro elephants
All weekend long it appears
Dealing with your aresehole boss
A mismatch so it seems
But like any martial art
Styles make fights
And into the Fray you lean
Tense talk at the UN
Twixst The monolithic blocs
Brinkmanship an art
Best practised in the dark
The Arabs and the Jews
The Catholics and the prods
The Ruskies and Ukrainians
The living and the not
It's in the way you talk to strangers
It's in the way you part your hair
It's what it says on your baseball cap
It's in where you place your care
As we look to the sea's horizon
At the swelling biblical wave
Can I look you in the eye
And argue in good faith?

When they
Carried round
The lino
That they might
Spin on their heads
Around
The
War zones
Of
The old city
The world
Was
Waiting
To be fed.

Ritz crackers!
Ritz crackers!
How you Smell
Just like my knackers!

I saw a vid of Dave Grohl
Out of Nirvana
Talking about his first meeting with Lemmy
The man was his idol
He was sat at the bar of a festival they was both playing
Years after Kurt died
Grohl was nervous of course
Didn't want to **** up
Finally plucked up the courage
To talk his god
He introduced himself
Told Kilmeister
He was his beginning and end
Lemmy looked him square in the eye
Said
I'm sorry for what happened to your friend.

Sam Neill
Suitably evil
In The Omen three
In that movie I thought he was coming after me
There's a scene where he's planning
The massacre of the new coming Christs
Gave an address just down the road from mine
Instructions to his disciples
Murderous advice
31 other potential Jesai
Got offed
After the alignment
In Cassiopeia
But one was saved
Was he talking about me?
Oh! one thing is certain
In the battle of Hell against Heaven
Don't be watching whacky Devil films
When you're only just eleven.

Rarity generally sets the price
Then how would you assay
The cost of life

We can't see any more of it
From this rock on which we sit

At least not now
And maybe never
So the valuation
To the earth is tethered

Do we figure the ones
Once here now gone
Or just those
Among us in the throng

Do all pay the same
For their go at this game
Does it depend on what you got
Out of it
Do the winners pay more
Or the losers forestall
Any invoice coming their way
But you pay with your time
Taken back at the end of your line
So your bill is already paid.

Give me a clear spirit
Devoid of cactus or peat
Histamines
Turpines or blood
An intoxicant
That can
So I can
Stand
Before
The flood.

The Irish know
A field in England
Will forever be
Not just a corner.

The boy stood on the burning deck
He looked across the Nile
As the flames licked up his leg
He felt the pharoahs smile.

Is it the crack and report
As the hammer strikes true?
Or the spilt second scrape
Down the barrel ?
The discharge of gas
As the slug rips past?
Through the displacement o air
it does burrow
Is it the PEYANG! PATOU! Richocet
Of an old cowboy movie?
Or the acts of the Manson's
They thought that **** groovy?
Is it the swish as it grazes
A candidates ear?
Or the whimper of a victim
Rigid with fear?

Just before telescopes and such
He dared venture out to touch
Not just the face of God
But more
Than the church allowed
No centre could there be
No sun circling
You and me
Planets around other stars
Holy uniqueness not ours
So they strung him upside down
In front of all the town
And burnt him
Through the hours
Upon the Field Of Flowers.

Electronic Christmas
Began in  81
Obviously earlier
For some
Binatone
Was the one
46 games predicated
On tennis and such
The first one got played
The rest not so much.

Who did what to who
And was how it done
Everyone gets cruel
When there's  no gates to fun

But hang just a min
And reflect on style
Everyone gets jerky
Once in awhile.

One misfolded protein
Leads to another
The next thing you know
You've **** yer pants
And your brains have turned
To blubber.

Have you ever been po faced?
I know I have
When presented with ****
From the front or the back
And then realised
You have got your
Nose
To
Close to your
****.

Mammoth bands from thirty years ago
Sequels
Prequels
And franchise entries
Regurgitation
And reabsorption
Feels like we've
Been doing it
For centuries
Now we have
The creative computer
The magic box
You don't have to
Put much in to it
To get its point across.

Round where I live
On a road called Dovedale
There's a double run o trees
On both sides o the lane
Early nineties
The council
Aggressively pruned
Right back to the stubs
Which the branches preclude
They bulbous forms twist
But not very far
The beatle fans from Penny Lane
Drop many a jaw
But I'm used to their
Unsettling visage
They look science fiction
Ancient and yet
Not that diminished
Like they'd bin there
More than they
Eighty odd years
But no one saw em
Till the need  came near.

We knew it was impossible
But it happened anyway
There was a lot of fallout
There was ******* hell to pay
We were glad it occurred
Despite the cost
Had it not
All would have been lost
Tragedy and triumph
Relief from pain
Just one slim chance
To begin again.

The things that
Bounce round your brain
And then are gone

For a millisecond
They meant the world to you
But you can't recall them now

You can't render  it
Out the void
If you could
It would deft
Be employed

Cos it was the coolest
Thing that there's ever been
The fact the world can't
**** on it
Seems
Somewhat obscene

But it will happen
Again and again
And you've got the *****
To call humanity
Your friend.

Haven't heard much
From the new Pope
Must be
Easing in gently
Port and ciggies
In the back
Of his
Bulletproof Bently
They say he's
Distant related
To madona
And Bieber
The question begs the answer
Is young Justin
A believer.?

It's about an hour and ten in
Depending on the ads
When he's in the map room
Calculating where to dig
If you blink you will miss it
But it's deffo there
A classic ****
Defined and then
Rubbed right out o there.

No ones
Ever seen me before
So what could they be after?
He who would valiantly be
Gainst all disaster
Like Gregory Peck
In that church
When he raised his dagger
I know I'll get shot
But who will
Communicate
What goes after?

Oh lord,
Won't you take me down there some time
Oh lord
Won't you take me down there
I'll sip the scotch slow
Sup the pint low
Oh lord won't  you take me down there

My king you not haf
You once was you see
My king you not haf
You once was
Your majesty faded
No beauty
Brocaded
My king you not haf
You once was

My love I pledge all o my heart to you
My love I pledge all o my heart
It's cramped
It needs mending
Left ventricle descending
My love I pledge
All o my heart

My friend you the ghost o a ghost to me
My friend you the ghost o a ghost
Cold silence it grips me
Inertia it trips me
My friend you are the ghost of a ghost.

There's a scaffold
Outside my flat window
They fixing the roof
At least I hope
That's what it's for.

Skeleton walks into a pub
Orders a pint of Guinness
And a mop

Hunter wrote
All energy flows according to the whims of the great magnet
God knows what he meant
It was something of a tangent
What does it mean to you?
The energy that moves
That pushes through
The thing that propels
Your essence
Away from the shadow
That pursues you.

Don't look now
But Sutherland's
Chewing
Christie's kebab.

If April is cruel
On account
If it's promise
Unfulfilled
Tell that to
Multiple
Meteor storms
Strong willed.
