nonsensical imagistic poetic everythings
are springing out from the lining of my stomach
shorn iambic lambs shambolic shadow-box my eyebrows
and that is more than a little unfortunate..
a coral shelf of head-strong daffodils spill out my kidneys now
while a pancake belly-jelly-galaxy corkscrews out my ear canals
a matrix of astrological mariachi bands race down my arteries
dancing around me steamy verdant shaggy-dog shamanic decals..
and as you know at the best of times it is difficult
difficult to book an appointment with your doctor
i know mine will only advise me
oh just take a paracetamol..
so not even a smidgen of tender loving care
for a man growing baby giraffes out his hair
not to mention my knees-to-sunspots sympathetically vibrate
my doctor will only shake her head while she sagely states
oh now no need to again exaggerate..
and why and why
as i amble to the shops do people gesticulate and point and stare
is it because they have never seen a man
a man with custard-badger-hands
attempt to nonchalantly stroll to the shops
while swinging custard-hyphen-badger hands
as my sinusoidal-sinus pastries spray the roads and pavements
okay perhaps i understand
perchance this the first time they have witnessed such a thing
even if this is london
how weird..
and i dare not mention
glo-stick panda-fur brambles my shoulders padded elephants
hula-hoop intestine-turnips are not remotely lady-come hither apt
diamond bees buzz my appendix silvery crystal gnomic texts
now have you heard enough
do you believe i deserve a one-whole-minute consultation yet..
and all this while dandelion jazz concertos expectorate from my liver
stampeding sub-atomic ants stickle my platypus child-bearing feet
honeyed mermen dart players tickle joke-pads to my spleen
dental hamsters with vacuum bagpipes comb panther hair on my teeth
i mean do you have any idea how that feels..
drilled square flanges shower burlesque tango-bell-toes
rolling over chronic albatross-on-toppled-pasta elbow
blooming jungle willowy meer cats ankle bite
while my back asteroided morphs a flying saucer spare tyre troglodyte..
neanderthal-neck-moonbeams medicine-ball me wobblier
killer-doll dolphins eurythmy blue goth
nano-beards on my cholesterol
but still i dare not call my much-pressed doctor
she will only advise and bawl
ah what is the matter with you
just take another paracetamol..
