HAVE YOU MISSED ME? HAVE YOU MISSED ME?:

Speak up,
The mumbler rides
The morning passenger,
The next one’s gone,

Profound silence,
Headphones,
Playlist,
Shutting the world out,

No man,
No man,
Gold bang around the finger,
Did you get one?

No up,
No down,
The sell-by date,
Freaky slow-motion woman,

Bounce,
Whistling sun,
That’s fine application

(K)

LEOPARD WOMAN:

Really,
Really,
Really lovely shoes,
How are you for cash?

Happy fire dog did you see me?
Lion-face chimney-house,
Toad-glove,

Thirty,
Thirty one,
The house,
The fixer-up,
Delete the glass,

Pies,
Funicular painted doors,
Landfill sofas,
We are the hippies waving in the window

(K)

DELICATELY PLACED:

You’re so hot,
You stole my place,
Opening up in a Red hairband & camouflage,
Rolled up in an alley,
Covered in honey,
Everything about you is hope,

Radiant light,
Life on wheels,
Delivered,
We travel so far,
Fetch the cleaning

(Last night loved watching FRANTIC IGNITION – inspiring)

(K)

SMASHING GLASS:

I don’t want to hear another word from you,
I’m sick of your rudeness,
I’m not listening,

Sow down,
Hold my hand,
We’re crossing

(K)

CLARE SAID TO JIM:

The rest will pay the rest,
Just be in charge,

Sympathy,
The last day,
Passive aggressive ridicule,
All the way to the bottom,

Charlie said he screamed,
He didn’t call him,
He looked at the screen,
He might be off for three weeks,

He might take him to football,
He just wants his dad,
A gentle hand,
Yeah,
All the way

(K)

I GOT HERE EARLY TO MAKE SPACE:

Make fizz,
Think straight not circles,
Messages,
Mouths that talk too fast,
Words like rivers,
Kisses,
Smiles in public,
What are you waiting for?

The pressure & the pressure

(K)

TOUCHING THE SUN FOR CURVES:

Brown sauce on the side,
Salty sweet,
Are you worth it?

You’re meant to move your arms when you walk you muppet!
What you thinking?
Looking like a giant in dark glasses,

This is not Manhattan,
It’s Essex,
The stripes are on the inside,

Who left the door open?
It’s freezing!

(K)

MY MONSTERS ARE AS BIG AS YOURS:

Whose were those socks I found in the morning?

What you want?
A what?!
I got news for you, 
You got to walk

(K)

WIN A PRIVATE SCREENING FOR YOU & THRITY FRIENDS: 

Press STOP,
Then press PLAY again,
Squeaky toy in the moment,
Western Union,
Best buy-back deals in town 

BEFORE THEY WENT 1-0 DOWN: 

They were knockin’ the ball about lovely,
He hasn’t married her yet,
So she’s still laughing,
Eating things on sticks,
With delicate fingers,
In the most exotic restaurant in town

TATTOO STUDIO:

Fully licensed & insured,
Where a lone fluorescent clown,
In a top hat on stilts,
Tickles the heads of children with a feather duster,
Makes them laugh,
In the arms of mothers,
Shopping for distraction

BURGERS FOR LUNCH AGAIN:

Hole in the wall,
Piss on the floor,
Exposed cracks of arses

DO YOU WANT CHIPS WITH THAT?:

 “Noodles is the mess”
A mother explains,
“And then all the stuff comes on top,
You know what I mean?
It’s different”

YOU CAN’T SAY THAT!:

You can’t say that,
Your can’t say that word,
I don’t like that word,
You got it form school,
I never meant to swear!
Frustration,
Doggy-bag to go

MUSHROOM:

You & me in the ocean,
You can have my portion,
Do you want me to feed ya?
Tasty,
Touches your delicate lips,
On,
And on,
And on

(K)

DISTINCTLY PRECINCT:

A carousel turns but the music is too quiet, 
A young mother smiles at her young child, 
Riding a plastic pony, 
A skinny girl walks fast with a cardboard coffee, 
Pale skin accessory, 
A thin Blue rinse passes the flower stall, 
Any bunch for a quid,
Henry Moore leaves statues in Bronze worth millions, 
Defying poverty & hard times, 
Alone on the precinct, 
Between coffee & greeting card chains,
A half eaten pizza goes cold on a bench, 
With no one around, 
What’s that then? 

(K)
