basic behaviour like bathing’s a radiant
joy that I often deny
covered in scabs (and in bruises), the noose is
feeling incredibly tight
water the tree but no, never the plants,
clean up the box once a day

poem: arcane secrets discussed in hushed tones
arcane secrets discussed in hushed tones
rain patters down on the window
new new religion, a sudden dispersal
of objects and posters and memes
wondering, well, “what the fuck?”
poem: moments like these we decide what to be
moments like these we decide what to be
go along with the flow or to fight it
I’ll give a skim but I won’t cut my rate
throw out my pennies to spite it
poem: is it an engine or is it pretending
is it an engine or is it pretending
to make anew something that’s fit for this world
keeping the yoke of excitement
well spoken
but not give away any goats
(because there’s tomorrow), and today, too
that horse looks awfully high
poem: buy in, but don’t mean it
buy in, but don’t mean it
find your plans in absentia
buy into your amnesia
it’s a neat device
please — urgent support
poem: is there much to do left?
is there much to do left?
screaming woke us up
we won, but did we? sleepy yawns throughout the grey
missed the storm — next one comes quite soon
the feeling outrageous, the taste, ostentatious
takes me back to those thatched roofs
poem: back on the train while the rain keeps on falling
back on the train while the rain keeps on falling
burning desire in back of my throat
a scratchy inflamed sort of bubbling sensation
struggling to name it as I start to choke
blow out the bullshit and call out the bosses
this is just one, then another
