The Landing
The aliens arrived and they read our DNA just like a book. They had no interest in our words. They sampled the oceans and its diseases, a pathology specimen from the self-destructive damsel of this solar system, an off-smelling primordial soup that has sat on the counter for too long, infested with small creatures who […]
Lenin was a mammal
Don’t go talking to robots Or eat mushrooms until you’re one Because the echo of everyone The informatic mitosis In a random amplified signal Is nothing but a borg psychosis
A love letter to the city
In a Sydney state of mind The roaches in the floorboards And the roaches in the streets Are scheming their lifestyle moves Crawling over well-appointed Painted-over switches and windows That ain’t opening to prove Nothin’ to the lords of our homes Now that I’m longer in the teeth Getting longer in the teats, bled dry […]
Cargo 200
A swansong of limbs on a grainy TV But the ghosts of idealism Wrestled their way in via private interests All fat cats now, but friends with the rats And the rest of us, in cargo 200 May we all watch swan lake once more See how their skirts bob
Flower boys
And after he was planted in the ground Just like a tulip bulb The war started and his value rose up To push the daisies out It takes printed usurps To make a dead man work so hard From beyond the grave like that
Too late
So she ate a poison apple From the burning tree It embarked a strange flavour But that ain’t the story for me Even if my hair caught fire And smoke ran through the streets A woman’s desire is sometimes Just to have something to eat I won’t miss you If it takes over a month […]
Pippi
Hey Pippi Longstockings I could hang my coat on that nose With those stories I won’t ask where those golden bars Of yours came from Or when the old monkey of yours Last showered
Blue note girl
So my blue note girl has met a man He’s promised her something She’s kissed him once, she’s dazed Says she feels a connection with him Man, I guess that’s convection for you. I’m not hurting, but need to untangle That knot in my throat when you tangled my tongue with yours Spend another night […]
Millenial
So I’ve been taught since the 90s to clear my plate So now dessert feels like work, after 3 burnt chops Before these non-deterministic magic boxes, we were Just mechanical turks with calculators Monkeys who knew how it all worked Before the rest of you forgot Who wrote frameworks weaving Machines we could control We […]
Property ledger
Split up into little duos Two against the world Into atomic kin Don’t have too much fun Or think Because unstable orbits Might give people ideas
Shadows on the wall
It’s all shadows on the wall ’til their legs stop to shake Pocket contents falling Breaking, lemon wedge unbitten This didn’t match the brief When we emerged from the sea The pupa unwraps Cicada crawls Disappointment sets Imagine how this feels for them No sheets, no ropes No umbilical cord No tie on the door […]
All American divorce
Retarded orange shepherd’s golden toilet Has seen more secrets than it keeps Black-hatted white sheep milked for his green sheets Black-eyed, Tweets: Whatever happens, we have got the spaceships, and they do not
Rani, rana ranitsa
Рани, рана, раница Зима идва бързо Но лято ще е студно също В тоз прокълнат мръз Сняг ще пада Само в младост Сурвакари, сурва, сурват Зима идва бързо С багажа, който нося От студен вятър се обръщам
