Lucidity
Jimmy silker Jan 20
He was that drunk
He was reciting
Gilgamesh
In the original Sumerian
And the declaration o independence
Backwards
Like some
Autistic barbarian
Sloshing *****
On those around
A blessing
According to him
Baptism o scotch
saw his lecture begin
Which went on for time
And covered some ground
Revealed great truths
But I can't remember them now.
It's Christmas time
And there's no need
To be afraid
Announced Geldorf
As Xmas unfurled
Well that's some
Irresponsible advice
No joy to the world

Prezzies ragers
Drunken drivers
Undercooked turkey
Icy conditions
And dont start on
The suicide rate
This season
The Reaper's
On a mission.

Sweating onions
The kids call
Hot dogs
GLIZZIES
These days
I wonder why
But I decided
Not to engage
With what might be
The description
On the
World Wide Web
Instead
I think
My own
Legend
I'll invent
Does the glaze
Glisten
And that's
What it is?
Or perhaps
Glissando
The smoothness
Of musical change
I don't want the answer
As it will surely
Fall short
Of
Greeze
Mustard
And onions
Not forgetting
The salt.

Later.
Some art is ****
But that dosent
Make it **** art
Hence this ditty here
If you think of it
Somehow apart.
Do you prefer
A circle
Or a square?
Lean into the curve
Or
Corner sharply sheer

You can fit either
Inside the other
Alternating
Ever
Down there
Until
You
Reach
The
Planck
Length
And
There's
No more
Room
To
Spare.

Labrynthitis
Jimmy silker Aug 18
When your stacked up parts
Seem less than what
You thought you are
Move em around a bit
Step back
View it from afar
Or at least
As is reasonable
Without
Breaking a wall
Don't stand up
Too quickly
You might
Have a fall.

Time and place.

Joke shop hairy chest
Serpico sweat patch
I'm the 70's walking
Hepatitis

There's no way.
Jimmy silker Jan 24
There's no way
I said
There's no way
There's no
******* way
Not today
I mean
There's
Just
No way
That
That
Could
Start
Here today.

Education
Jimmy silker Jul 4
That. How come you don't regress in a train
When you jump up and land again ?
Is a bit o a betrayal
It talks about
The way that we teach
The whacky constructs
That need more explaining
Than what we keeping talking
About
Again
Could we
Keep talking
To the end
Of which
There is no doubt.

Not in this life.
Jimmy silker Jan 5
Every time I think of you
I'm overcome
No excuse
It a feeling that should not be
The pull I feel
So close to thee
I imagine you and me
In a state o ecstasy
I know it never will not be
Is that what I meant
Contradictory.

Dull mirror
Jimmy silker Jul 19
Walk to the edge of the pier
Look down at the
Unreflective
Nature
Of
The sea
And hope
That
There's
Something within
That you can
Talk about
With
Some
Of your family.

The Gold Standard.
Jimmy silker Jul 11
Why would it start
On a Monday?
Seems a bit
On the nose
Wouldnt you say?
Surely it makes more sense midweek
To start
The Satanicness then
On behalf
Of those
Who believe
The goat
And all of his ways
Their aims
Won't be remote
But will be
Deffo believed.

The feather.
Jimmy silker Aug 15
Is this what you want?
Is that what you're after?
Thought you was him
Valiantly being gainst
All disaster
Straighten up now
Or bend
At your leisure
Accounts of the living
Against
The final measure.
Jimmy silker Sep 1
When the spiders set up shop
In your Torus
And build you a shade
For your light
It's something it's always needed
But you've never done it
Coz you're *****.

Titanic
Jimmy silker Jul 19
When the water
Comes
Above  
Your chest
Where the waves
Freely go
You know the
Pressure
Forces
Beneath
Your eyelids
That's when
You've got nowhere to go

Shit on the moon
Jimmy silker Jul 31
There's 96 bags of **** the moon
Or at least that's what I have heard
Among other detritus
Scattered around
We gifted the universe
Some turds.
I used to have a T shirt
With a comedic drawing
Of a deranged
Bug eyed
Wild haired
*******
With veins in his teeth
Throttling
A big glass
Of foaming ale
With the legend
I COULD ****** A PINT!!!
I wish I still had it
To get me through
The night.
Jimmy silker Jul 10
Is that fog or steam
Misting up your dreams?
The details are there
But swaythed  in smoke
Laughing at the punchline
Without hearing the joke

Knowing where you going
But clueless about the route
You'd cut across country
But the terrain just doesn't suit

That old tree looks familiar
An that rock
And barn
Are you going round in circles?
From dusk until the dawn.

Something's whacky
Your face a solid frown
******* your senility
You've got your map
Upside down.

Fill the frame.
Jimmy silker Jul 31
He wanted you to switch off your brain
Shun analysis
And lean into the paint
Leave aside conscious thought
And all the things you aint

Step inside
Past
Layers
And
Layers
Feel the work
For he is not saying
Give yourself over briefly
For you will not be staying

On wall sized panels
Dark enough
For all to handle
You will know
The soft limits of language
As you stride
Into the grand ditch
And stand there alone

They ask
How far back should we stand?
As from left to right they scan
We are almost out the room
It's getting out of hand

He frowns
As his head it itches
******* all these
Sons of *******


"Oh! All the way back
About eighteen inches.".
Rothko

Shite verse
Jimmy silker Jul 19
There is a thing
You keep grasping at
The idea is hardly new
The notion
We all talk about
The touch
Twixst
Me and you.

Get it out of you.
Jimmy silker Sep 9
Prozzies and poets
Get paid to ****
In public
Well
That's not really true
No one on here
Is getting paid
A good chunk
Also
Not getting laid
More akin to
Gonzo **** then
You recorded it
And Now
It's out there
In the world
Defiant and empowered ?
Or
Just Feeling a bit wierd?
Into the bowl
Of Yorkshire
To the town
Of Otley
The landscape
Somehow
More ancient
A place
Of artists
And
The ones
Who Carved it rough
SLOW MOTION COWBOYS
Lit the place right up.
Slow motion cowboys,a remarkable band.
