Piggy Porky Perfection
However you dress...compress these clever creatures…
More not less..whenever features...success..
To be Francis...what about Bacon…
Salty...naughty.. fatty flavour to savour..
Doing each dish a favour...a porky saviour…
Get a hard on from a lardon..
What’s much better than pancetta…
Peck at a fleshy fleck of top deck speck…
Unctuous umami tsunami of salami
Or sumptuous faux porky pastrami
Cheeky paprika glow of chorizo....
Stellar slivers

A kick up the rear

No rear view mirror
Lament not dear heart, the moments gone by,
for it is futile to needlessly cling
to past images that now make us sigh,
more so knowing, mere thought is not the thing,
so why not add to each life breath some bling?
Feeling not thinking, focus unblinking,
we find ego cravings slowly shrinking,
choosing to remain vibrant in the void,
head and heart

Rear View Mirror
Careening down the freeway
adjusting watching
my rear-view mirror
Checking to see
if death
be closing in
Lurking there
in my blind spot
of a blinded life.

Rear View Air
As soon as we got to the county fair
The country odor got through my nose hair
Coz above some milk pails
We encountered cow tails
Which filled our senses with their dairy-air

Rear View
Countless in colours, on display.
Grey matter turns, to white clay,
moulded by brow beaten pressure.
Being a faceless number in line
just to be seen, fleeting in stale time, promoting ones ego.
Wasting lifes days unexscapable
In media,s grasp, really we have to ask.
The Autumn leaves, rush towards us in their late Autumn flack.
The reat view mirror looms, impossible to

Through the Rear View Mirror
You were in the rear view mirror of my life
That one chance encounter to last a lifetime
What a wonderful day it was
Frolicking about the pool two strangers in a foreign land
The ocean waves beckoning us to foray into unknown territory
Sea urchins, star fish, and shells waiting for us to join them in dance
The heat of

The Survival
To live or to survive
It is a hard time
After the epidemic
Comes the economic crisis
Not enough food
We grow our own vegetables
Not enough chickens
We rear our own chickens
Nothing to do with money
But when not enough money
People can bribe
We can do nothing
Even when we retire with some money
They cannot buy all the necessities
And happiness
We still

In the Rear-View Mirror
Used to take a while
to work up a sweat
Had to jog a few miles
or sprint like a jet…
Well, those days disappeared
in the rear-view mirror
Now I sweat climbing stairs
that I’m older is clearer

A woman who had buns of steel
Was proud of their wanton appeal
A judge had a feel
And deemed them ideal
But an eel made her squeal surreal

Rear-Ended Nightmares-
amongst the prism dreams
nightmares in rage enlarging schemes
of the fiery fiendish fiends below the ground
the skies intervene cloudless simply innocent as a child
deporting visions indecisive intermissions credence is gone wild
mercies spawned innocence screams

Bringing Up the Rear
The only one along this road…
riding shotgun through my mind
Tomorrow waits for someone else,
lost wanderings consigned
Forgetting what the moment augurs,
living in the past
Confirming what I’m most afraid of
—behind whoever’s last
(The New Room: January, 2022)

But Ox Rear Ends Debt-
Why ? Is it I'm behind and when you're in debt
You're in the rears ?
When you're late you pay a fine,
it costs you patience monies and time
Credit deteriorating fathom gross abundance
Payments lost you are shot in the back
In the rear behind buttocks with penicillin
In the buttocks medicine can't stop smallpox
