RUST GARDENING:

In the corner,
By the window,
At breakfast,
In the zoo,
I found myself floating with a banana skin in rice milk,
A pyramid teabag,
Floating in a bowl of water that used to be boiled,
Where you spoke to me in Spanish,
With your Black eyes and roots exposed

(K)

METAL BOX:

Why have you got tape on your knuckles?
What’s on the menu?
What’s in your trolley?
What’s that smiling on your face?

(K)

TWO PEOPLE MEET IN A CLEARING:

The clouds move slow beneath us,
I’m tired,
But something is alive,
Even in the sky,
Drowning in small talking,
Listening to nothing,

A finger moves slow,
In the camouflage sat next to me,
To let me know you’re still alive,
Pulled in all directions,
I can’t have this conversation normally

(K)

RELEASE:

Woman in a Black velvet suit keeps looking at me,
Wondering if she’s seen the real thing,
Wearing a shirt with my name on it

(K)

KEEP:

Boy with a go-faster face,
NewYork on his chest,
Hot soup in his cup of love

(K)

SAFETY FIRST:

Breaking news,
Everything’s broken,
I don’t remember anything

(K)

UNDERGROUND:

Covered in tattoos,
Hanging around with that fur on your chin

(K)

SLEEPING CONES:

I recognise the family resemblance,
The coffee in your cup,
A small voice heard above the crowd,

All these haircuts are bringing me down,
And you’re still wearing the wrong shoes

(K)

AFTERPARTY OF STICKS:

Cellphones held close to ears,
Mouths talking into hands,
Polished shoes,
Double dice swimming,
Hands appear to clear away the rubbish,
But mouths are still talking

(K)

ROCKET:

I’m struggling to stay awake,
I’m struggling to stay to listen and remain polite,
Eating bread,
Cheese,
And sliced tomato

(K)
