No Time for a Banana

...Monkeys - start on your typewriters now.
I need you to work fast - and how. 
There is nothing more pressing than a
contest deadline - no time for a banana....

Spools

...I am an inked ribbon
fed through an old manual typewriter.
Like all old typewriters,
the machine originated
in the belly
of a behemoth steam punk engine,
one already equipped
with an Artificia...

The Manual Clunk

...My typewriter
was not a good typewriter,
its keys were weighty,
you had to use brain muscle to work it,
nobody wanted it.

My son unpacked a home computer.
I stood by and watched
as all the e...

A Treatise on Newspapers

...
    Newspapers can be logs for the fire
        or non-functional rolling pins

    Obsolete as white-stockinged town criers
        along with typewriters ~ has-beens
...

I miss

..." Tortured metaphors
                           spilling from tequila lips,
                  t i p t o e  on my pulse ~

and hear
and feel a peaceful day

When partisan hate
is as extinct as flying dinosaurs

When ranting out of anger...

busy office

...The Busy Office

In the busy office, where the papers fly
And the typewriters clack their endless song
There is no room for beauty or for joy
But only for the drudgery of the throng

The worke...

The Sea Goats Allegory

...Aquarium realms
of anointed fools
masquerade as sensibility

Typecast foolscap
tired typewriters ribbons
don't have a prolonged head

Between the streets
where the drunkard
spins his tales
...

So Long Buddy

...dreaming friend
like the  chancing days of wind
if i could draw his breath
so sad to watch my friend
growing older
growing colder

don't forget your feelings
spare a thought for me
i am not ...

The Discontented Decade

...Dustmen were dirty
Shoes had holes
Typewriters qwerty
Clothes were old
School was tough, kids were rough
Summers were always, quite cold

Three-day week
No power at night
Week after week ano...

Flipping the Bluebirds

...
“Flipping the Bluebirds” 

There’s no point playing
Norwegian Wood
when your keyboard’s 
like a gun calling  

murdering 
all your darlings 
for other meaningful

Unsustainable V Sustainable

...Moulded electric plugs, go to landfill the earlier ones were sectional and re-useable,
 Copper tanks kept water
Hot all day; maybe two days, if they were bigger.' They were removed in the interests...

Fire Engine

...Fire-engine 
Now that it is autumn going towards winter
I often think about morbid things to avert this 
I think of what I liked as a child.
The sound of the fire engine rushing through
the town...
