i am a pair of hands
a pair of feet
i am something you see everyday
but never meet
i am polish
i am lithuanian
i am EUROPEAN
i am whatever
you want me to be
but never english
i really am
what you dont want to believe
i am
i am the cleaner
i am the sandwich lady
i am a poet
i will write that song
that you will love
and will always remind you
of that time
i am the hand that feeds you
i am the only smile
who will greet you everyday
i am polite
i am brave
and strong
i am a reminder
you would rather forget
i am the feet
you could still be
i am a sign of the times
i am a postman
i will deliver
i am a pat on the ass
i let you make a pass
i am the cleaner
i am the sandwich lady
i am a musician
i am an artist
i am nothing
i am everything

the new humans
seasons of bitter fruitlessness
of Wild Dogs and Urban Highwaymen
in Mitcham and Morden
the black ice is thawing
a new humanity is dawning
a nasient civilisation
begins it's steady march
into power
a most unlikely alliance
of Sandwich Ladies and Great Apes
clawing at the doors of tesco's
biting through to free the humans caged inside
Poles and Gibbons,
Intellectual Bunnies
bullets in the prams
of Yummy Mummies
the future is clear
total revolution is near
come join us comrades
we are the new humans
of Wild Dogs and Urban Highwaymen
in Mitcham and Morden
the black ice is thawing
a new humanity is dawning
a nasient civilisation
begins it's steady march
into power
a most unlikely alliance
of Sandwich Ladies and Great Apes
clawing at the doors of tesco's
biting through to free the humans caged inside
Poles and Gibbons,
Intellectual Bunnies
bullets in the prams
of Yummy Mummies
the future is clear
total revolution is near
come join us comrades
we are the new humans
we look up, and wait
The Sky is Pregnant
threatening pockets of
silky streams
silent, deadly, dilating
we seek shelter where
there is none
our bodies find warmth
in each other
upside down inside out
all over we seek
solace
in the bottom
of a polystyrene cup
a milky concoction that
sears, scalds and then cools
rapidly, unnatural
like the hot towels
at the indian restaurant
defying the laws of physics
the cup overfloweth not
instead the edge is
crumbling under the weight
of expectation
ambition
the pixels that form the vessel
are spat upon the ground
with my teeth they fall
whoosh
whumph
silence
dead is the night
the day never came
we slithered through the streets
our velociferouswheels
not spinning but sliding
smoothly
over the sheen of ice
that coats our mordant world
we came
we sold
we were conquered
The Sky is Pregnant
and we look up
and wait
threatening pockets of
silky streams
silent, deadly, dilating
we seek shelter where
there is none
our bodies find warmth
in each other
upside down inside out
all over we seek
solace

our velociferouswheels
not spinning but sliding
smoothly
over the sheen of ice
that coats our mordant world
we came
we sold
we were conquered
The Sky is Pregnant
and we look up
and wait
a smash up on the river
a filthy gust of wind so strong
it cast me upon the frozen ground
a buckled charge with wheels aspinning
whispered no whimper, no cry, no sound.

half a smile, three fifths a frown
slipping
swaying
and smashing
thro the
afternoon gloom
of our short life
a means to and end
the only way to mend
is to truly break
bash and bruise
to smithereens
squeeze an squash quash
those fears
reduced to tears
a towering man
mouse in his hand
by his side
a loyal friend
i am both these men
something and nothing
twisting and turning
inside out and upside down
half a smile, three fifths a frown
swaying
and smashing
thro the
afternoon gloom
of our short life

reduced to tears
a towering man
mouse in his hand
by his side
a loyal friend
i am both these men
something and nothing
twisting and turning
inside out and upside down
half a smile, three fifths a frown
this tall and terrible you
THIS TOXIC DEADLY BLUE
wundercrunch
underfoot
not ice, not
glass
not gems, not grass
is ground to dust
to breathe a must
this toxic deadly blue
this tall and terrible you
wundercrunch
underfoot
not ice, not
glass
not gems, not grass
is ground to dust
to breathe a must
this toxic deadly blue
this tall and terrible you
unfinished seizure
the lover's lover friedrich sighs
as the whistling willow bows
his arterial strings dip in the mire
of this terrible tale we sew
eutrophicate our sceptred isle
a sulphurous stream of blue
a concrete shell still cracks a smile
where a cerulean monster grew.

somnambulant slurs
into the wild
abort the mild
the weaker willed
the meeker
somnambulant slurs
of jewels and furs
some legacy
what creatures
on dust we raise
our screaming cranes
our moat, our house
our fortress
come carve a trail
to our unholy grail
we'll find solace
in it's sweetness
