illusions bite. bullets bark
the tortured wind of hindsight deep as arms length
cannot the crow fly heath to the heavy lie?
must the bright cheer of the plain wood suffer saddles sores?
as sly as fox inside the dam of the beavers bend
the hopscotch boy in the girls brains slight of hand
deals somerset a stuffed hair for a straight lift
lets loose his clown of afterthought on the clays drip;
look back beyond the iron bridge to the rice between her eyes
her milk-white flesh perched perfectly on the horny cobb
her toes both lord and mistress to the threaded walk of knighthood
as she ties her bootleg charm to necks of third in line
her third breast dressed in arab blood on a snow pea
riding missionary with the guard dog in his pierced ears
he has been to war and back with tattooed chauffer to the walk
with pink fairies in his guts his grandfather in his shoes;
clock bell to the nations trust inside the courtyard of the swine
spring cabbage from the jail of allotments lettered kale
fail offspring and the tallest gods will guess and reign sublime
find bride of cinderella in the emo of your groin
watch her knit and scrarch her half-mast steeples spawn of frog and gripe
swallow thorn of mistletoe and gargle oil of serpentine
the moon has got his hat on
hip hip hip hooray!
and the sun has got her butt-plug
and she\'s comming out to play!
fear not defence of country leech dishonour
flavour peasants wine with charcoal brown as huntchback
run to parks as bearded queen with armpits shaved and photograps
of the butler gay as budgies on a dead zone
home pigeon pie in the arms of southern comfort
my eyes of gin in love with the feet of orange peel
my lemon pith as homeless as my lands mine
a bitter drunk beneath the bridge of married london;
