not so much au pris
avec les casseroles etc
but with the words &
images as materialised
‘mediations’ objects –
give me the sauce
not so much sauce
from you as saucepan
or frying-pan as
weapons in farce
the plank gag or
any clowning Marx
brothers not Karl
word as artefact
forged slowly barbecued
by men & women with
long beards tomato
soup tasty moustache
soundly languaged
any phenomenological move meets
up with language sooner or later
in one car and out
the other in one oar
and out the other out
the other and in the
car out the other
and in the oar
absenticate sniffiging
Hamlet’s ghost himself
these guys in disguise
nomenclature and angled
sex stones and trees
all set the ball rolling
whoever whenever wilts
these blood diamonds
are a girl’s carpet stain
remover another cockroach
squash lemonade syrup
wagging a broken finger
stop short version of game
one more sonnet bites dust
she was under sixteen
most times of asking
querulous quarrelsome
and queasy splashed all
over giant boardwalk
broadcast platform shoes
by microwave energy
distraction stretched it thin
snapped on holiday beach
coda
you are wanting
occlusion dismembered
winnowing what
with what surplus
to demand committed
patient destroys rage
enter by side-door
wait in water-wings
for fruit to ripen
soften acid drops
permanent wave
device ekes out
is that a word
or did you make
it up yourself
ekes out consumers
hunting bargains
basic to humanity
dissatisfaction cheers
the face of midnight
cloak and dagger I
have no doubts left
or right make up
your so-called mind
watch your step hold
your head up with
both hands massage
my neck please it’s
almost winter again
arnica and wintergreen
Xmas morning
turkey in oven
whirring sound til
lunchtime leafblower
