I buy paper I’m too scared to paint on
Race is on, case is strong, I'll rip my f#4king face off
Two times I handle the same damn candle, burning on both
Ends, eternally earning me sandals
With sock on, cross my heart, start boss talk,
Lust, forever the onslaught,
Double bind, blind bus stop,
Last minute, my consort
Hop on board – join the ride with the light lords
Release the rodeo bull, uses horns like what they're made for
Chainsaw, “axes up”, complain more about your painful jaw
Access allied health paid door
Taxes collected dust, stayed decades afraid until a corpse
Grade school was dreamy scary, I still visit the fairies
Syringe in the belly, tranquilizer jelly legs are better
When they’re paired with
Pain meds. Ace is dead.
Shot her in the head, blast to the right-side masseter
Shattered her mandible, maxilla killer, cannibal
Ate her own capital, international chatter gulls.
Mandibular dislocation, did her dissertation duly late
Exercising uninhibited, deliriously real hallucinations
Scooped, V or haltered neck lines
Wrap fabric round, there’s new creations found with different
Names, acclaiming their repackaged basicness. Seal it, send it
The post man twice checks it and buzzes like cash nexus
Delivering the feeling filling me with online brought junk feed
Do I buy fake trees?
White paper waits patiently.
Drain’s clean
Tipped straight bleach in my hair
I dye faithfully
Rainbows' gleam
Sparkles like Megan Markle's straight teeth
Gratingly
If he loves him, then he f#4ks him, he says he’s just a mate, fake it
Rake it
Make me bleed
Monthly, punch me, guts first gunning to squiggle in the
Middle stack of intestines, squished tight with butterflies
Infested pipelines
Piddling the little questions, trifling sum of trivial offences
Frivolous ribbons and frills adorn me
Like my cancelled pension
Climbing gates and fences in my Sunday best dress
Lock me in, lock me out
Like my finger locks the pens in / or the pencils, depending /
Chain links ripped my spencer
Stockings surprisingly survived on the suspension
Feet hit the ground again
And I’m still running
Handbag hitting left hip
And rib cage flaring
Midday, manic
Hailing
Thank him for his foot and his brake pad
Chair’s free
Plain Paper chasing me
New pages take me away into dangerous daydreams
Fractured portraits capture
The abstract playfulness of sunlight streams
Teasing breeze, rupture the rapture encapsulating me
Shattering the peace of the 10km shared zone, throw another crab pot into the mangrove,
Local costal knows, rode the moaning fish bowl bus all the way home, or at
Least to the closest road, then walk, on show.
Headphone blaring, the car operator's scared of the
Pedestrian's impaired senses, severed
From the six and the seventh, street sign measures
Zephyr sweater is checkered
Feather leopard leather glitters with effort
From the Fifth World Champions
Tremoring in terror, tethered to their shepherd, psychological desert
Tempered glass, weathered treasures, wash up on sea shores for sailors
Disembarking the Endeavour
I like my moments like my morning cup of coffee, fast or slow
Depending on the quality
Spitting out what’s not good enough to drink
Save your serviettes please
I prefer napkins
Honey Swallows, Captain Morgan and straight bourbon
With brunch by the Boardwalk, wharf bends
To let the ships in, sit in them, bobbing, too scared to
Go past the river's end
Pay dividends
A man with eight (8) arms is calling the Pentagon, Octopus's friend
Their made of precious metals and marigolds.
Salvaged the Earth’s work
Spat out technobabble talk, thought smarter, worked
Larger
Than the centre slog, unreplenishable, uncontrolled
I’m a “bitch with no end”
Linguistically made friends with the English Language
Find the vantage
Pander the mantra until it’s damaged
I want answers
Write to me, sign it,
Scan it,
Burn it,
Learn it, love from my favourite email spammer
Says not to print, so as to save the planet,
But my waiting blank paper craves the grammar.
