bird in lead boots

a fad diet of whiskey and biscuits,
polishing the mask of daftness and distance.

we tracked him down to a twenty four hour
associated dairy on the edge of existence.

he was wearing super-tight clothing
to guard against any potential walk-ins,

warding off alsatian faced spirits with
a permanent cloud of twenty benson and hedges.

he spent his whole summer wondering
if it was dancing that let the devil in.

he could sense he was developing the hunger
of a man many years younger for the crumbs beneath his keys.

the sad sum of his ancestor word processors.

they had all clubbed together
to send him on a riverboat tour of the irwell, up through the sludge - dodging the draft of the war that can never be won, he was transformed from tv through outdoor into an advertising hoarding. the serpents were boarding as he put the finishing touches to a short story about a bird and his boots set in the days of having something to lose...

(you don#t sell a soul in one go but instead it is through thought and deed you see it slowly erode or recede, if you will. and you will).

e-music

the ancient symbol of
the ancient symbol of
the ancient symbol of
the ancient symbol of

pigeon pecking chicken bones.

eunuch music.

he strides in from the office
and says there is nothing
that can't be accomplished, if you like,
with a combo of this face and a butter knife.

eunuch music.

unique musique.

roads...

the roads are decaying with no-one to fix em.
i took your facts and i treated em as fiction,
it allowed for a frictionless acceptance of them
when i took your words and i fed them through the pen
onto my pad - they didn't seem so bad anymore.

they didn't seem so bad.

as i rode my my chevalier down the catedral escalier.

kitchen witch

i was breathing in the fumes
of the morning rags
#
it was the same face of every king
that we've ever had

but the hair was parted
on the wrong side

ssstaring out at me from the page with corrupted hard disk eyes

has there been an unsolicited visitor at my flat?
there's a tcp aroma in the hallway,
the milk went sour before its sell by date.

shaken, i await my instructions in the post..

and wonder when i will start learning
about king william the fourth....

when will i
face the sums,
and start following
the trail of crumbs

that they somehow see fit to include but we seldom turn our attention to.

i myself have had a think
about the shape of the scars i will fill with ink

roll my sleeves shut my mouth and let the pictures do the talking for me.

its the fingertips on my windowsill of the witch who switched my vitamin pills

its the fingerprints from my windowsill of the witch who switched my vitamin pills.

its the witch.
