Gnostic Gnome Rising


Bin Laden was dead,
And the careless bastard's dead again,
So we're advised to be more vigilant than ever,
Against the eyeless man bloating in the ocean;
The gnostic gnome terrorising plankton.
For he shall rise from the depths.
Welcome to the new and improved War on Terror,
War on a noun,
War on a method.

God, I hate advertising.

Heaven Can't Wait


A gloom of pigeons swirl,
Painting a crown of thorns,
I boil sideways below.
My flyover hangover blooms like an exploding kidney dialysis machine.

Floating rocks ninja-kick and cymbal-crash
inside my skull,
Screaming for a trapanner.
My coordination all mad cows' disease.
Avalanche incoming!
Doh-re-me,
CJD.

My inner ears register:
Vacuum-flask sonnets,
Another imploded afternoon,
Sipping dehydration in The Purgatory Tea Room.
Sonic booms discharge brain-dentist missiles.
I am demented today.

I am demented today.
And as I have no aspirin perchance you have a gun?
Don't worry I'm a pacifist;
I won't do anything wrong as I kill everyone.

And today I pray for The God Squad to ding-dong my doorbell,
For I shall lay my loving hands on those believers' strangely beseeching throats.

Tenderly,
I shall jump-start an extraordinary rendition heavenward,
For I believe in forgiveness.
Blessed be me then.

Please don't doubt your faith,
Not now.
You believe don't you?
Just see this as a test then.
Surrender to the choking.
Don't fight it.
It's all there,
It's all there waiting for you.

The Two Games Of Two Halves


Women play their mind-games of 3d-chess,
Studiously,
With men who play bingo trouser roulette,
Ludicrously.

It's two games of two halves,
And the house usually wins.

A Muse On Music


Through streams,
Air hangs,
The babbling music strings.

Nocturne Dance

From one night-time office window,
I zoom my gazing out, out, out,
Searching for others
Dancing the vacuum dance,
Tilting windmills at motion sensors,
That only seem to recognise phantoms,
On Wander Patrol through these elevated moon/Junes
Built from semi-recyclable materials,
Built to make office-time last and last,
And last..
You cannot get hay fever from a plastic plant,
But that won't stop them from trying,
These triffids of air-con micro-climate-change,
Never change.
The steel-sealed windows reflect, reflect,
Outside windows inside windows,
Like black hole fractal mirror Picasso's.
Stalactite
Remote
Guernica
We identify ourselves with pass cards hanging
from tribal lanyards;
Chakra
Sometimes it makes me feel like bungee jumping the vertigo,
Eyes samba tripwire reflections.
Without-word-thoughts I wander,
Wondering;
Nightdream Believer.
Aum..

A couple of cleaners,
Amber-in-aspic,
Are steaming a floor nearer to the sky.
A
Throwing bottles bagged,
Into a green wheelie skip;
And,
After hugging,
They talk for a few seconds more,
Before separating.
It's just after 2.35am,
Again..
Ultraviolet sheen,
Dead screen savers,
Grey diagonal blinds;
Are those red building lights helipads for flies?
Floors blink black,
Silhouettes windmill,
Electric eels shuffle, click, flutter, ripple.
Oxygen expires plastic plant photosynthesis.
2.36am.
Aum..
