when Animal Farm is not a feeding manual

and Clockwork Orange strikes at midnight

Dali’s time piece warps under face value

she relieves herself into Magritte’s...

Take it away
Right now—see here…look here
Run into the light where one shadow casts an intent, lowly eye
Into the very heart of the storm, the words fall with might

You see a word and take sail as...

A back flipping coconut is very very amusing at a ball but ball pits are moving around so one must surely wear wellingtons or a pair of anglers' waders when jumping across such multicoloured curves....

Agreements are Shams!

Agreements are shams that the wise call a shakedown,
the wisest trust conflict, will work what’s at hand.
Agreements exist when folks (forced to) are civil.
Identical twins have mutations, evolve!
What miracles might stop, experience kicks...

Spring
What does spring mean to me?
the shedding of winter’s coats.
Scarves and obnoxious hats
 Freedom, to breathe god’s air.
New life; new-born lambs gambolling along,
 nuzzle mums' milk
The smell of freshness from open windows 
 in the...

Seahorses...Why?


Dear Mother Nature woke one day,
   and looked around with a sly smile,
surveyed her Earth, both land, and sea,
   then paused to think for quite a while.

She beamed with joy with...

“I say how about
breakfast at The New Farmer’s”


Our day of picking and consuming done
no hunger induced nightmares, we rest dusk to dawn
check on the young ones. Are we all here?
tomorrow we return for another...

lizards 

black tar sweats, squabbles, shakes in the glare of the ocean of blue.
white light engulfs the sky. 
stealing the heat we grip the ground with our claws.
scan the black tar with our yellow eyes....

Prophetic year of the mushroom
Day one message: 
nuclear madness is on the bloom
Usher in the house of bedlam
into a R.S.V.P. underground shelter mansion,
settle into concrete bunker chairs 
for the half-shelf life walking dead
Winter black sky...

Black Gold, French haute cuisine, that is!
Truffles - Black, White and Brown! 
These humble amorphous lumps of fungi fruit dung,
are diamonds in the dirt,

The water's dried up,
trees broken and dead,
the pleasant scent of decay
permeates from everywhere,
sinking into the pores
   of my nose,
burning away any other smell.
I watch my pack...

Dead dogs in the streets,
I know why,
Internal organs spilled,
inside out, now outer-organs everywhere for all to see,
If things could be like they were before,
There would be no whimper's or sigh's,
A pup that is most played...

Unless you live in Newbury
You'll cling to this perception
Even though this town
Seems quaint unto a stranger
He is yet to analyse
 the average locals behaviour
A rich man races horses
Then drives...

Possibilities, like children, navigate the classable realms,
settling upon the measurable.
Amorous piglets, their peachy snouts delve,
rooting through the trash heap of desire.

"In a time beyond now," wheatenly speaks the tale-spinner,
plucking a clover, pale and crowned with...

Their eyes move in rhythm of the housefly flight
Up and loop, straight and back, down and around
Snap!  Snap!  Snap!
Eager bites for the winged vermin of flight
Tails wagging, bodies bouncing a dance in air
Grasping...

Pure magic, the August night the day Moon Fairy sat on Fossil Moon.
Aquamarine eyes slowly closed as she began playing dolphins swoon.
Diamond stars began to prance around her in a lovely endearing way.
Her song was...

Round up the posse,
get ‘em vetted Oval Office ganksterized
Appoint the piggy snouts,
then send ‘em out
with metal sidearm power
Ancient oppression done got modernized,

legalize the blind Corral...

The night ended in smoke.

Sleepwalking fumes 
          rolled over the park,
perambulated in groggy circles,
then got stuck in the tree branches
