Unsolicited
The wag broke its beard
I'm a poet
I strangle the air
He Ejaculated
I am the passenger
On a bus in Leeds
Lidl passed unnoticed
In the traffic light
of a thousand Armley felons
Weeping in their soup
The canal which goes to Liverpool
Lolloped by as well
Sorry that's obscure
I cannot fukcing spell
Everyone's a poet now
Including me
All working class sentiment
Lowryesque and feral crudity
Anyone can p and q it
Since the advent
Of kindness
Equality
The age of Aquarius
Awareness
The comforting of shoes
No more nasty blisters
Indestructible
Low in price
Pong resistant
Water tight
We are all entitled now
To proclaim our love of crack
explain away the lack
Of eloquence in our life
With a birthday card rhyme
Ga ga goo goo
Love me
27 pence
There's a factory
In scunthorpe
Where they make
These fundaments expostulate
Miasmic as the breath
Of our omnibusal stranger
Stubbing out his message
On the back of someone's seat
A cigarette in the hand
Is better than a bird
In your face
He said it was a way
This poetry thing
This parting of the beard
A brilliant way
More or less infallible
A way to attract
Fill in the blank
She/he/it
Into the lair of disgrace
When they come to his place
After the engagement
For post poetic entertainment
This proclamation gogged me
To the core
Never occurred to me before
Can't unthink the thought
It smack-in-the-gobbed-me
Like a dandelion seed
On Sellotape
Stuck and bloody
Wafting like a guilty plea
Before an Implacable judge
Now I can't unsee
Can't become unbudged
A little part of me
Is forever on that bus
Waiting to be hanged
Like a Christmas bauble
Thoughts have got their
Pants on
Whilst fantasies just dawdle
I am now press ganged
By the flood of realization
That these words
Seen through an absurd prism
Lock me in their prison
To steal a line from Pinter
One from the dumb waiter
"That never occurred to me"
That some daft sod
Would want to sleep with you
For opening your gob
With a gag line on cue.
