WHAT ABOUT CHRISTMAS ???????????????????????????
DID YOU GET A NEW GEIGER COUNTER
WERE YOU FEVERISH
DID YOU REHINGE THAT DOOR
WHAT ABOUT THAT SKUNK
WAS THE ENDING SATISFYING
DID YOU SELL THOSE GUNFIRE WORDS
DID YOU SAY NO A THOUSAND TIMES
etc.
Christmas is a u-boat of suffocation
no doors were re-hung but a picture of a power station was framed,
a 3 hr struggle with precision and symmetry, a battle of straight lines
and equilibrium.
God is a spirit level.
ALL THESE WORDS TO PREVENT A SINGLE THOUGHT
SUPPRESSING—ALLUSIVE COMPLEXITY
EXPRESSIVE VOLTAGE
I KNEW SHE HAD BEEN WEARING MY UNDERWEAR
AFTER MULTIPLE WASHINGS
THEY WERE NO LONGER WHITE
WITH ALL THE PAIN OF SELF-DISCOVERY
CAN YOU TURN A CORNER ?
CAN YOU THROW AWAY THE SCRAPS OF HER ?
REMEMBER THE SMELL OF HER LOBSTER ?
UNDER THE DARK CANOPY—SILENCE IS A PROTAGONIST
YOU WERE RAISED IN THE SHADE
EACH MORNING TO THE JOUNCE OF A RISING CURTAIN
YOUR YOUNG SEXY HAIR
STRANDS OF SEX HAIRS INTERTWINE
THE PATTERNS ON THE WALL
CURVING DEPTHS
ROUGH PEOPLE MOVED ABOUT
YOU WERE VERTICAL
AND READY TO GO
*a secret pipe-smoker
I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE “GENESIS” PROJECT TEAM
HELPING TRACE HUMANITY BACK TO THE GARDEN OF EDEN
IF ONE GOES FAR ENOUGH

JOHNNY BOY TRUMPS SUCH LEARNING
NO GOD, JESUS, BIBLE FOR HIM
HE TALKS ABOUT APES
AND GILLS ON BABIES
WHERE DID HE BUY HIS SMARTPHONE ?
ANYWAY, JOHNNY BOY AND I PURCHASED POETRY MACHINES
HE ORDERED HIS ON eBAY AND I BOUGHT MINE FROM A PIRATE
IT STILL HAD BLOOD ON IT—NOT JOKING !!!
WE’VE HAD A TRUCKLOAD OF FUN WITH PRODUCING WORDS
CHARLIE ZERO HAS BEEN JEALOUS AS HELL
HE SEEMS STUCK IN THE QUICKSAND OF FLARF
I PRAY FOR HIM (and kiss his girlfriend every chance I get)
I HAD TO STOP DRIVING THE AUTOMOBILE
BECAUSE EVERYTHING BECAME ITALICIZED
THE DOCTORS BLAMED THE SMOKE
“THE TRODDEN PATH WAS THE WRONG CHOICE”
I WAS TO RECOGNIZE THE SIGNPOSTS
AND OBEY THE LETTER OF THE LAW

OF SATAN
*what do I care….I’m 300 yrs old and ready to pass
SO MUCH OF WHAT I WAS MAINTAINING
————WAS INCORRECT
HOW WAS I TO KNOW THAT “REALITY”
IS COMPOSED OF SHARED PERCEPTIONS
AND NOT JUST MY UNIQUE EXPERIENCE ?
I LIVE IN A SCHIZOPHRENIC HOUSE
IN A SCHIZOPHRENIC CITY
I WALLOW IN CRAZINESS
I ENJOY THE IMAGINATIVE
AND LIVELY ASPECTS OF IT
I COLOR IT WITH CRAYONS
I GO ON THE INTERNET
AND SHARE WITH OTHER DEVIANTS
SHARED MEANINGS
AND CONVERSATIONAL POETRY
*vote yes to pharmacologic intervention
the genesis project found me looking for signs of creation in everything I saw – deep within cereal packets, in the back of drawers, in the mechanisms of a 1000 flowers –
paper trails wont lead back to Eden –
Eden is an imaginary place,
just as imaginary as a jabberwocky
– ancient ribs buried in stone
– images on my smartphone
– the project wanted things that couldn’t be found – their hypothesis was skewed based
in belief not facts –
nothing tangible to work with
nonsense nonsense nonsense and myth
only the facts will do for Johnny Boy
– third person perspective –
– he controls the detectives, blood samples in the fridge,
the science of words,
the science of things
multiple Micheal driving his car down straight tracks on tarmac
window down

the high priest of dark town
POETIC PERPETRATORS OF A CHRISTIAN HOAX
SENSITIVE TO MICK JAGGER, LET HIM LOVE
TORMENTED BY AGE, HE IS 300 YEARS OLD
MOVING WORDS NO LONGER LEAP FROM HIS LIPS
HOW MUCH TERSER HIS ROMANTIC HIPS ?
JUST A SKULL AND BONES ON A STAGE OF CHAOS
BY HIS BOOTSTRAP, HIS WONDERFUL SADDLEHORN

WHAT CAN ONE SAY ABOUT POETS WHO WRITE
“CONVERSATIONAL POETRY” ?
CROWNS AND POUNDS AND GUINEAS ABOVE FLARF
INNER DIALOGUE, GRAMMATICAL CURLY LIPS
PAINLESS SUICIDE WITH A SWEDISH GIRL MAGAZINE
QUESTIONABLE NAMELESS VICE, LUBE AND HAND
*what a sad strata of the past
in the abbatoir they hung emotionally crazed people with northern tongues – hung by their feet blood rushing to their heads – a skull full of blood and ideas –
no water in the resoviour
I bought all the punctuation I need at the entrance but I’ve run out and now lines run into each other like a motorway pile up of dead people
bent metal and smashed glass
the clammy touch on thigh
one eye to the ground, searching, what have you lost?
The plot
The plot
The plot
swedish girl magazines have no storyline or narrative,
just image of flesh and saunas
in another life I buried a 1,064 poems in the Siberian perma frost – revolutionaries trampled over it -soviet boots carrying misdirected ideology –
so far from the original path –
– the need for a good moustache –
gulag prisoners dug them up and de thawed them by rubbing them between their thighs – there was no MEAT – just frost and the remaining idea of MEAT –
– skeleton cars lined half finished roads –
skeletons sat in skeletal cars – deaths creeps
POETRY SEEMS TO BE NO MORE THAN A SNEAK THIEF CAUGHT
SELF-PAINTED INTO ODD AND DISCONCERTING CORNERS
SELF-DRESSED PEASANTY, CATERED, VICTIMIZED

PERCEIVED LIKENESSES OF MOVIE STARS

bad news, Joan’s daughter is trying to sell riddles on the street

CHOKE, CHOKE, AND OVERHEAT
people who leave Christmas trees up all year round – a string of fairy lights cover the house – a melting snowman exposed his internal organs of stones and buttons –
you can see it from space –
the couple with separate beds – the feeling you get submerged
in over your head
holding on like a baby holding a tit
There are no blueprints for this
no schematics as to how this should fit together
I SLEEP WITH A SACRIFICIAL LAMB
THE LACK OF MARRIAGE
IS THE SEPARATION LINE
LACKING ALL POWER
TO EXTRICATE MYSELF
I PRAY TO JESUS
TO BE MY SUBSTITUTE
TO MILK JESUS
FROM THE BOTTOM
TO THE TOP
CONTRARY MOTIONS
FANCY FLAMENCO
KISSING COUSINS
UFOs in Tupelo
in the place where things grow
penance for thoughts of pivotal moments – the words as bullets the mouth a gun
– hollow & holy
half hearted attempts to transgress
– changing seasons but inside it’s the same – a chair facing a TV
– a fridge whirling
– a house settling down for sleep and dreams
a collection of cutlery in a small museum south of Sheffield
had another dream about her again nocturnal emissions
my underlying condition
undiagnosed and the symptoms
the visions
hell and other people
populate this prison
take your date of birth and use as grid references I’ll meet you there untold here
we held hands as we moved from location to place to destination
TALK ABOUT THE OLD DAYS DOESN’T BOTHER ME
THE CLOTHES, MUSIC, AND THE MENTAL HEALTH JEWELRY
YOU AND I WERE CREATIVE PEOPLE SEARCHING FOR A CREATIVE SPACE
AND THEN “SHE” SPRANG INTO YOUR LIFE WITH HER COLLISION OF BODY PARTS
DAY AFTER DAY AT THE LEVIATHAN FACTORY YOU WOULD TALK ENDLESSLY
ABOUT HER DISNEY WORLD BREASTS AND HER PIPE ORGAN TUBE
I SHOULD SAY, “HER SUCKING PIPE ORGAN TUBE”
EVERY DAY YOU WOULD ELABORATE ON HOW SHE PURRED
WHEN YOU CLEANED HER SPARK PLUGS
SHE OPENED YOU UP TO FETISHES AND FASCINATIONS
YOUR HANDMADE PERSONA WAS GONE
YOU WERE NO LONGER HAYAO MIYAZAKI

*Emily Dickinson often speaks of death as being unattainable
**as difficult and painful as it may be, one lives through death

YOU WITH YOUR SOFTLY RAISED ERECTIONS
POETIC SLOBBERS OF GIRLHOOD AND WOMANHOOD
CANDLES AND ODD FLOWERS AND SWEETS FROM BELGIUM
*were you smoking seductive feminine elements in the bathroom ?
precious little was left after the fire –
the cutlery melded –
knifes into forks into spoons into smouldering hulk o’ metals – amorphous blobs –
buckled conveyor belts in the skeletal shell –
LEVIATHAN BURNED TO THE GROUND
– no clues or footprints at the scene
witnesses witnessed nothing
– she is the cause and this was the effect – weird science with words
I am not Hayao Miyaki –
I am not Damo Suzuki
—-
crime tape surrounds the scene
her spark plugs are nice and clean
her heavy metal shirt
Erections there and never discussed
probing at the zip of your fly – the only reoccurring theme is the lack of theme – the characters change their name but you know then by their gait –
emissions and explosions
trip wires surround my house
mines underground
I have enough tinned food to last the year out – 6 passports – splinters from the hobby horse
suppressed everything over fill
over spills
the flood gates
i take photos with a pen
I think in every country the people “down south” cross borders of familiarity – 7 fingered cousins at the hoe down –
BEFORE THE FIRE, “SHE” WAS A COMPOSITE SISTER-LOVER-MOTHER
NEVER STATIC, INNOCENT HOMOSEXUALITY SPOILED
ERUPTIONS FROM A JISM VOLCANO
MAPS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL DILEMMA
DIFFERENT SIZE FINGERS
HEAVILY DISGUISED DIGITS
EACH WANTING TO WIN ITS WAY
EACH WITH A BURDENED CONSCIENCE
A HAND IN THE UNDERPANTS
NECESSITATED
NOT A SINGLE NAME
SELF-SURRENDER
TO A HAND IN THE UNDERPANTS
A THOUSAND PRAYERS ANSWERED
THE FEEL OF ANOTHER FLESH DOWN THERE
AND THEN THERE WERE THE SCREAMS OUT ON THE STREET
THE LEVIATHAN FACTORY WAS ON FIRE—HOW COULD IT BE ?

WITH EYES CLOSED
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING ?
MYSTERY SCENTS PERMEATE
PORNOGRAPHIC CHEESE
ENTRENCHED MOISTURE
PERMISSIVE BROWN ZONES
the 1000 spank mags – centrefolds stuck together – bushy pubis in athletic positions – shaved mounds cunnilingus powder burns –
bruised knees like at confession in front of stained glass
stained undergarments thrown out in the rain –
– in china they can now grow penises in laboratories and plastic vaginas are bought on line – humans beings are surplus now
soon
just meat to feed machines
we’ll be known by our teeth and the whirls on out fingers
– we r going the way of dinosaurs and pens

and to that
all religious leaders are barefoot
all dictators have moustaches
(…Maybe)
– initial reports point fingers – malfunction in the flarf machine electrical misfiring – fizzing conduits – enjaberments blocking the output tube
graffiti written on a wall opposite the investigation “WE ARE REAL”
“WE ARE REAL”
FAMOUS WORDS SPOKEN BY ADAM AND EVE
EVE WITH HER FLARF MACHINE THAT STARTED
SPITTING OUT SCIENTIFIC REASON
RATIONALISM AND MATERIALISM
(AND NASTY COLD SORES)
EVE WHO CONTAMINATED THE WORLD
WITH YELLOW PAGES OF TORMENT
IT BRINGS TEARS TO THE EYES
TO SEE COMPOSITION AND PROPORTION
SLEEPING IN THE GUTTER
CONFUSED ABOUT SHINY AND DULL
THE FLARF MACHINE
WORKED BEST ON THE BRINK OF SLEEP
SWALLOWED UP BY THE WATERS OF REVERIE

THE EXIT OF CONSCIOUSNESS
THE EXIT OF BODY AWARENESS
WHERE IMAGINATION TAKES ROOT
AND SPROUTS DALI-LIKE
DRAMAS OF THIS AND THAT
TO EMBRACE DANGER OUT OF CONCERN
FOR THE WELFARE OF OTHERS
to embrace danger out of concern for the welfare of others
WITH HER NOSE IN YOUR MOUTH
YOU WERE TRYING TO PUSH
HER BACK TO FULL STRENGTH
YOU WERE GOING TO RESURRECT HER

PLUNDERED INFORMATION
FALSIFIABLE
EVEN BY CHEAP ERASER
*if one cuts Satan, he bleeds mathematics
dancing on your own with shadows & memories of ghosts
things that offer up no reflection
– the soundtrack of the Curie house – jazz men kidnapped and lured with promises of the needle,
buckets of pills, –
forced at gun point to blow the sax – sweaty foreheads drip pools & puddles to drown the witches in –
attracted like magnets
the gates of heaven have a door policy – burly bouncers with arms folded –
it has been stated that I was dancing
but was I really dancing ?
having taken self-portraits
in the basement of the Curie house
there exists a high susceptibility to nervous seizures
it is as if I were walking barefoot on the devil’s thorns
self-pitying—-the terrible thorns of life
each thorn a choice between good and evil
you speak of shadows and ghosts
the voice of a poet on the path to Golgotha
women and craggy hills
all things wait with creative hope
