Getting divorced from contemplation
Going down a river of dripping
Greeting Burmah as a nation
And not just another
Petrol station
Vaseline black like cloud in mountains
Trees bend black and mirrors lend
Sunset spags her dart of colour
Like an oil slick
In the village
And she was not mad indulgence
And she was not made of pain
Neon bread in fat convulgence
No machine
She was contained
Like sausage in a cassoulet
Like flambed meat in poet soup
Like orange pasta made of snails
Chased by a Robin
Into the fridge
I suppose the notion of the writer
Shunts like colds from town to town
No-one ever thought no thoughts like you
Oh no! You all did
You just never wrote them down
La La La La , bollocks haven
I can’t pee and nor can Mavis,
Because if am going to catch a baby from my brother or my dad,
Ni, or no it’s all the same in a baseball game,
with coloured hats and bowls of popcorn,
Whatever you have, I don’t know
and I am never going to run out of fags,
YOU.
Nonsense.
Oh dear,
It’s not all there in a square,
or a hat or even on a Sunday.
When there’s no where to go,
nothing to interrupt.
Oh no.
