Devolver

 

so for the new year i would like to enjoy a new genocide
preferably one not involving those devolved unchosen starved semites
been there and done that/ got the annihilate-the-amalek 23/24 tour t-shirt
the gaza beach-front property project might soon be a truly beautiful thing
a fabulous location for regeneration/ the eurovision song contest final 2033
this pulverised flesh-eating concrete by then scrubbed to vaguest memory
memorialise who and what/ yes exactly
let the losers write the history books based on hollywood oscar winners
so a fresh new genocide for a fresh new year
a scorching shockwave lint-look/ a multi-platform-launched boutique cologne
white phosphorous eau de toilet for him for her for them
a flash-fragrance by u.s.-m.i.c.will melt your gagging baby raw to the bone..

so for the new year i would like to enjoy a new genocide
this one is now dreadfully flagging and its content seriously bombing
craving while crashing down way past prime-time
hospitals/ residential blocks/ mosques/ churches incinerated
the same old same old cannot indefinitely hold my attention
and after a while the stripped emaciated civilians appear so much the same
ditto dismembered pali babies/ parents buried alive
yes wailing widows/ orphans sobbing traumatised was captivating for a while
for obliterating occupied concentration camps is still a fairly novel concept 
yes but we all get the droning message by now
the ratings must be notably flat-lining with viewership dropping like flies
thus the related headlines have all but vanished vanquished..no surprise..

so there it is
for the new year i would like to enjoy a new genocide
perhaps one where the victim cohort i can more easily self-identify with
similar-seeming human beings
by that i mean human beings that hold real values relatable
an inflation-proof pension/ an electric scooter/ solar panels/ anything
so for the new year i would like to enjoy a new genocide
one where our celebrities delightedly raise an imperial inclusive flag and cry
one where we can feel emotionally invested so not another naqba please
how about an expansion of hostilities that might threaten our way of life™
a genocide with added value offering that special something to enliven us
are we not entitled to consume fatalities dressed better with looks lovelier
such open mass graves would be mainstream-friendly and absolutely killer..

 

Skylight Above The Flight Of Grey Dragons

 
the obscured stars landed
landed as falling raindrops on the low skylight
expanding constellations spread out in streams
the ripples ripple on the silvered glass canopy..

splashed diamonds limpid crystals
the gift of the downward gaze
the downward gaze of lamp post light
scintillant droplets ignited blaze..

the makeshift planetarium drips down on my eyes
our heavens erased by grey dragon spray
so though the skylight is plashed with infected rain
i enjoy the simulation
the birth of pure creation..

Reflect The Flaming Grace Of The NPC State

 

would you like to appear sane to the non-player character state
a state that traverses your everyday highways
sliding in and out with that imitable insouciance
an elegance often enhanced with a serenity chemically advanced
the reflected grace of softly liquidised landscaped windows
lavender-scented eyes lacquered for sleep..

then step this way
or step this way
for we always give you up to two choices
this way or this way
and it is always your choice
yes it is always this easy
this or this
side a or side b
stay in our lane
stay informed
appropriately pensive
play either side of the mp3
fight the sentient carbon unit menace..

snuggle-up nice and warm
gently meander through your choice of mainstream-everything
all the appointed practitioners
our satyrs your influencers
our given everything is your received everything
these are the gifts we bring
never listen to the weird ones
the weird ones with their twisted contrarianism
our demiurge shall never forgive them..

put them on ignore
or even better
mock them incessantly
show them the error of their malcontent ways
course-correct them from a safe distance with concern trolling triage
a true act of kindness
ministrate..

never be discouraged should they not insult you in return
for they are only testing you
and should they ignore your well-thought jibes
by politely replying with false earnestness
then you know you have defeated them
ad hominem cruelty is a valid expression of rejection
and never ever suffer silence with self-reflection
it never pays
the really effective messengers are recruited for our elite brigade..

laugh along with all the white noise
feel enlivened by the static charge stasis
gracefully oscillate between the seasonally flavoured hates and fears
permanently lend us your ears
for we have your back
so have another beer as we bomb back better
and before that boring genocide
here is your weather
the nps state will help you sleep better..

Team Lone Gunman

 
whatever he is
suggests that he is not
whatever he is not
he might be
this statement is true
the above statement is false..

ready yourself for the latest super blockbuster release
your reflection tuned and consumed by the black mirrors
the next infamous assassin
soon the dark artisans shall spin
so pulverise the popcorn
comfort-blanket the layers of doom..

his silhouetted leant-on aspect
traced in snack-bite monochrome
so similar to the previous lone-loners
central casting chosen outcast/ plastercasted distractor..

secatuer a sapling-gunman
gestated from the covert coven mother
and 3..2..1..to zero
one stoner-manchurian matryoshka onion..

and action..
and on cue
the gaudy carnival bandits offer schadenfreude salvation
the dribbly armchair pews
float the deepest subterranean spacemen..

so here
the super a-list lone gunman
delta-glory for the new let-loose loser
the son of a man who swatted away something
a molecular coalescence of inconvenience
the vine crawls sand grains..

assassin citadel-fashioned
another woven star-crossed naut spun
fluidly loomed of crystalline smog..

his diligent hidden-hand handlers
will carefully leave behind
the glittery easter egg-trail of compelling cluezzz
for the newzzz..

diaries with circled dates and codewords
modish novels
replete with annotated scribbly swirly block capitals
smirking witnessez
and smeared-on tv expertz..

all the dark comedy
the cheat-sheet intel
the now standard ai-generated manifestos
with all the dogwhistle motifs and tropes
fictive orchestrations as familiar
as the celebrity-infested docudramas
sympathetically supporting ads for pet goat deodorant..

the cookie-cutter choreography
the staged and taped-off abodes
then the checkerboard cameras roll
manifestos miraculously manifest here
drop-shipped on basement floors 
for spectral ushers to rediscover
as minerva twi-twoos by the revolving doors..

every-which-way self-incriminating
absolute guilt reaffirmed
never afraid of cliches
such pax-bollocks already parabolic
the trial outcome for the vacant-eyed man-child client
a foregone conclusion..

ah yes
it was definitely him
absolutely no question about it
nothing left to interpret here
as for modus operandi or method
details mere details
roll out the absurd cut-and-paste
blow dust off the hotplate script
they never seem to notice..

fizzled on the hotplate..
substantially mentally unstable
operated completely on his own
always alone
repeat-to-self always alone..

so similar to the many previous infamous deranged nutcases
loaded-up to slay-to-order in public places
hidden in plain sight
that is how the dead-eyed high-functioning low intelligence fools
evade all the sophisticated radars
every. single. time.
trust the deployed expertz..zz..zz..

the expertz..zz..zz
the influencerz..zz..zz
of a deep overmind
lurking below the waves buzzcut by the contriving sharks
the fishy body bags protectively encircle
eschewed by seagulls
smarter seagulls who disregard faked facts
generously dropped from the temple of black helicopter pilots..

transmit the need for another budget increase
shoot for maximum media effect
the cryptocracy must be protected
the hegelian dialectic on fluoridated psychedelics..

wide asleep
the public willingly goes along for the ride
as their snoring bite-size eyes triple glaze
pattern recognitionists peer easily through the negligee
as normie stormtroopers mud wrestle
with their snagged-shadowland minds..

the zombied for the zombiefied
the post-hypnotic patsy for pillow fighters
all the minds partitioned/ compartmentalised
trigger/ unsee
shatter to numb
remove batteries
yin/ yang
bin/ binliner
next/ next..

real dead bodies not always included
vanish pulsed
but for the assassin
whose power-showered mind
programmed to self-destruct
no such luck
unless..

unless he is a staring inside actor of the project
in which case
as the phantom character dynamo vividly remains animating
the actor gently exfoliates mask off/ off-mask on
and casually strolls off stage
again..

Crisper Burn Senryu

with white phosporus
new improved ethnic cleansing
shoulder to shoulder..

 

Supercrash Haiku

 

final market crash -
make the killing on killing
chaos to the moon..

Serfs Up

 

sell my soul
surf the oncoming glitter..

dive under the wave
saved..

Ride The Rules-Based Eschatological Escalator, Self-Justified

 
anyway
again we must state that you people started all this
and yes of course it matters..

wielding your well-worn page of victimhood
that you repeat from like squawking parrots
though has absolutely nothing to do with anything
entirely unconnected..

yes perhaps a few small unfortunate incidents might have happened
regrettable mistakes
highly disputed incidents that have been purposely oversimplified
but at least on this we should agree
that this is neither the time nor the place
to hold such dry academic unrelated hobby horse debates
no-one is that interested
at least no-one that deserves..
or is of any critical importance to the here and now
and as you should know
all that was a very looong time ago..

but as we have consistently stated
consistently stated again and again
and without fear of contradiction by any reasonable woman or man
you started all this
thus by that accepted measure and yardstick
you must continue to bear the entire responsibility
the entire responsibility for all the dire consequences
especially if you continue to shield yourselves inside
or even by
our legitimately secret high-value military targets
so shelter in some other place..

unintended consequences
collateral damage
call it how it is please
use correct language
instead of emoting murder
murder screamed by wailing tik-tokers
tik-toking falsehoods
pointing to strategically striken street-laboratories of indoctrination
shielded inside
your so-called kindergartens and hospitals and apartment blocks..

yes and yes again
you bear the entire responsibility
for everything that has happened and is happening right now
as well as what will happen next
you must bear all the consequences
incomprehensible to some though that is
anyhow..

must we repeat again
that you started all this
well guess what
we will continue to end it
and end it and end it and end it we most certainly will..

and how you dare equate
masked with straight face
your savage and revengeful atrocities as retaliation
for our mandated pre-emptive first-strike clinical kills..
..not even close to being the same thing
what a twisted misperception
what a masterclass in misrepresentation
what an inversion of reality and truth and decency
well we will continue to respond decisively to all your escalations
slaying our defenceless civilians
while complaining of being the historic victims..

your wicked logic though beyond us
never surprises us though still shocks
and frankly must leave any reasonable person speechless..

and be warned feral neantherthals
and no we really do not enjoy using such language
soon we shall also deploy artificial intelligence
wave upon wave..

and as the rules-based earth continues to bear witness
that while we offer fact-checked data and context for erudition
and knowledge-sharing
precious wisdom painstakingly passed down the generations
your idealogues lash out 
lash out by disseminating only hateful disinformation
mindlessly mandated and then repeated ad nauseum
poisoning minds for decade after decade after decade..

our widely admired timeless traditions
will not be supplanted by your baseless arcane medievalism..

and know this
our self-determination liberty and dignity
shall forever be protected
and will never be undermined
so until you desist from your hostilities
all you sub-human roach-stock shall never be free
for uniquely we are we
but you the blind
continue to teeter on the edge of your self-created abyss
that is fine..

so will you accept all our inalienable rights
and comply with our values and this global order
for given what your firmly established rogue status suggests
your rogue status confirmed again and again
you are collectively the root cause of all this evil
thus all held equally responsible..

you may disagree
but the entire civilised world concurs
that we must never weaken our resolve
so until you learn your lesson
you remain legitimate targets all..

No Slave Left Behind

 

no slave left behind
soon chipped for progress to lose myself with my digital id
neural-linked to my cbdc wallet/ personalised variegated currency
my credit allowance expiration dates/ rewritable scrubbable history
integrating valued behaviours/ bespoke personality
my neo-akashic record to present all with all my psychic leakage
and stamped with my jab-dna passport kept healthy
i might freely roam right to the very glassy edges
to the very glassy edges of this my endearing fifteen-minute/mile city
no slave left behind
no slave left behind..

no slave left behind
the singularity will beam me my repurposed state of mind
eager to be pump-primed/ earn privileges i shall receive treats
more flexible expiry dates more potency-points more sweeties
i will comply and i will comply/ vacuum-packed tripseed
starlink pleroma i will report the dissidents and dislikers
i will be as one with the smart city grid/ all-seeing-eye
i will be licensed a new future-to-past
i will sport spinning glitterball eraserbubbletm irises
no slave left behind
no slave left behind..

no slave left behind
protein worms/ munificent offerings/ the beneficent messiah a.i.
electromagnetic panoptic prism/ synthetic limitless hedgerow skies
i shall be the empty goblet energised
pouring forth bountiful numbness aligned
less i be rearranged and reassigned
lesser designed
deported to a gamma-man entrainment reeducation leasure camp
andrenochrome scooped to be grated dappled/ clamped/ fish-tanked
no slave left behind
no slave left behind..

sterile and pure/ lights out/ the ventilator that passeth all understanding
smart lampshade/ trigger monitor/ liquidator retinas/ blow-up sophia-love
shorn-note songs/ activated neon tatt throngs/ fluoridated pilgramages
my pine cone readied to pendulum swing/ empowering zip-ventilated wings
pureblood-gonged/ shed on/ golden graphene/ monsoons of aluminium
no slave left behind
no slave left behind..

racing to this boundary
but the engine cuts out
and as it rolls to a crawl
all the doors lock..

i somehow smash my way out
and beneath the unlit undusted trees i run
then a cloud-strober
then a flash and then another 
a searing heat shoots up and down my spine shattering
splintering i explode
fall onto the wasteland barren a meadow of real grass
fade..

and am i dead..

asleep i awake
what a strange and bad dream
why would i imagine even doing such a ridiculous thing..

no slave left behind
no slave left behind..

Senryu '23

 

noisy distractions
lid the deafening silence
as hidden wheels turn..

In Loving Silence

 
faux stained-glass windows baffle the echoes of trickling sand
strummed souls plucked and picked flicker
the fear-amplified loom over themselves out-of-body 
the dark preacher booms light he lassoes extraordinarily renditioned
loving light turned inside-out
and straight-jacketed in sackcloth and hateful understanding
the voice and presence the earthen judge with alibis
grim-faced with conviction
regular hot ash and fries..

he need not forgive himself for condemning the experienced
as spaghetti strings of frankincense veil the polished message-mincer
curlicues of guilt encircle the blamed annointed with malevolence
the dusted eyes raise up so fearful beseech the tulpa flames 
the damned for heaven claimed
and disposed of before their expiration date..

and in a bar somewhere
a kind and wise and wayward man
listens to the deepest secret of a troubled stranger
after she unburdens herself
she gossamer brushes his hand the sincerest blessing
a vodka-washed thank-you angel feathered..

contemplative for a while they remain
they remain in a shared and generous chrome-reflective silence
a generous silence that both the creator and the barman understand
they part ways once and forever
the listening voice again has spoken
the listening voice that never asks for anything in return..

A Half-Trash Gentleman Surveys His English Garden

 

surveying my awkward unshorn garden
replete with weeds and toxic moss
the lurid green tresses gloam luminous ludicrous
swaying knives beneath the smoky slate-grey sky
a small side-salad slice of faux nature
for domesticated fat cats to prowl visibly bored..

surveying my must-try-harder garden
with a broken fence and wobbly washing pole
the lime bench paint is cracked and faded
birds piss on its peeling skin just the same
as they karaoke timid love songs
duetting a typanic rattling roof drain..

man-made garden
harvests a half-trash man
catching some fresh electro-magnetic smog rays
while pondering another dead-on-arrival escape masterplan..

there is a beach somewhere
and with my name emblazoning it in neon mercury filigree
is a leaning castle of legless sand
interest rates shall go up agan
and as another wave rolls in
rolls in to kindly make way for another
the castle tumbles
the seaweed provides for itself iodine..

you might ask
so when will there be a revolution
when the billionares are reduced to mere millionares
they will bravely fight to their last citizen
the trillionaire bankers have their reasons
but at least for a while yet
i shall gently sink in the garden..
