a continuous pour
of made up words
and brand new notes
from a questionable source
a river of opinion, unsolicited
streaming every evening to
an audience indifferent
menacing trends and
a new consensus
as i send myself on
another unnecessary errand
but what is your body telling
what is it trying to say?
you shall seek yer answer on
the east lancashire waterways
waterways waterways waterways
operating in the
margins of the morning
craving a cursory interaction
with absolutely anybody, but
there is a message in his head
he's running out of ways in which to deliver it
it's relevance decaying with every passing minute

a summary
a summoning
a conduit a conjuring
a seven hour seminar
on self administered surgery
a list of strange and
pointless responsibilities
an unwanted unboxing of
all of tomorrow's mysteries
cos one man's phenomenon
is somebody else's novelty
so save all your favourite
lines for your own short stories
cos you know what they say
about showmen and gifted orators
when they cannot feel their way
around the city without a centre
wringing a bloody sponge
into a rusted up bucket as
all the original bridges
creak and collapse
ready yourself to collect
any heckles gratefully
cos the second i speak
the words is the same
second those words
become dead to me
on shore off shore north shore near shore
on shore off shore north shore near shore

what is it about
this side of the river
which makes us
want to question all
conventional wisdom
where a shallow read
shall often be rewarded
so prioritise pedestrians
and never reveal your targets
have you ever so hopeless
as when converting all your
words into rhyming couplets
another haunted & awkward
lumbering performance
destined to be misunderstood
and go mostly unacknowledged
locked in a hastily
arranged race to the finish
where those who cannot read
the room are destined to inherit it
an indefinite spell on the bench
plucking the shrapnel out of the secret salsa

i'm just a
beer battered
bottomed out
brooklyn based
gun boat diplomat
secretly switching
his shirt and rewording
his personal development plan
scrubbing his hands
in a standalone bath
before the dawn
standing back
from the aftermath
of yesterday's storm
which shall remain nameless
somehow it is spring and
i think i was built for the winter
my factory settings letting
the side down again
so i set
my speech
to the rhythm of
recent events
and allow it to bounce
down the corridors
of the powerless
your thoughts
are the product
of a volatile
imagination
a cinematic
misunderstanding
of whatever it is
you thought that
you witnessed

history is an overflowing bin
which nobody wants to be
responsible for emptying
a composite figure
endlessly digging
a ditch at the centre
of the eternal village
and all the while
the rivers are fed
with the images and
opinions of the dead
a scary & hilarious skirmish
besides banks which are bursting
punctuating decades of indifference
can i get a no? no.
can i get a yes? no.
a controlled demolition
of the present continuous
which eliminates the
links that exist between
memory and incident
chaos is the
neighbour of nuance
and the cousin of convenience
one day they will be gone but never forgiven
