"ryhthm" poems
Digeridoos are back in stock
Said the notice in the bric-a-brac shop
Are the West of Scotland Numpties
On their own Dreamtime quest?
Are they contemplating their navels
Through the holes in their stringvest?
Could they realize their chip-papers
Hold the answer to their havers
And the Buckfast in the Hand gripped
Tight is causing calluses in the brain.
Corks dangling from their hats
Swinging like disorientated bats
In ryhthm to the dance of delirious tremor
The adrenaline is pumping.
Mossies no, but midgies, aye,
A stark contrast to the Kappa motifs;
Are the natives going walkabout,
In the local run-down mall?
Calling everyone mate,
In an accent you love to hate
Walkabout, lost in the wilderness
Wandering through the bush.
Outback here there ain’t no
Crocodiles, only quilted, padded cells.
Hand to wall a red imprint,
Not paint, my boy, but blood.
This lot would embarrass any Aborigine
Because they havnae got
An original thought.

Asleep.
No
I try to sleep
With my hands close to me
Anti social, maybe?
Fear of intimacy, maybe?
No
Not really
I sleep with my hands close to me
The physical action
Of crawling inside myself
Crawling inside myself
As if I will be safe there
Within myself
Crawling inside myself
Within myself
If I could
I'd rip my chest open
And crawl
Further inside myself
As if I'd be safe there
As if my hands
Inside my chest
Could grab my heart
Slow it down
Inside myself
Or
Within myself
Would I find
my own hands there
Already
Inside myself
Forcing my heart
To beat this uncontrollable ryhthm
That makes me
Crawl
Inside myself
I can't seem to fix
What's broken
Within myself
Even if I could crawl inside myself
I know
I know
It won't get better
Fool myself into thinking it's better
For myself
Broken, inside
And out
It's not safe
Inside myself
I know within myself
I have to get out myself...
