Assume position
And face the wall.

“Where's the romance in that?”

We're in a supermarket car park,
Were you expecting flowers?

PORKED - this is a shag!

(Short and greedy,
But full of #verve!)

My associates probably ain’t who you think they are.
I call them the dodgy trinity,
3 points of a triangle,
Spun on its head
And pointing to the ground.

The truth lies several layers deep,
It may not be important,
But that depends on your position
When they dig it up.

NOTHING TOO SACRED

Screamin’ Jean ain’t no witch,
She’s a product of wishful thinking,
Habitual activity,
Something to keep the dullards in a huddle.
Fear the turkey and dunce,
As simple as a straight line,
Mass hysteria points the finger,
And nothing’s too sacred for the pot.

PULP FICTION

Congratulations, Trailer,
Here’s your book,
Pop it in the box and give it a shake.

The road to extinction is short,
No corners or obstacles,
Straight to #pulp
At 500 miles per hour.

As a young man I was constantly troubled,
A bit of a w*nker
And always on the p*ss.
But I grew up with an #Oasis soundtrack,
So it could have been worse.

Now, when I listen to their songs,
I’m pulled right back into the mix
(And a blend of emotions kick in).

SMUDGE

God ain’t got time for this nonsense,
She sees us all in the same moment,
An elongated #blur.

It wasn’t the presence of a guardian,
It was an inner voice,
#Sonorous, but crackling too,
Like a slab of scorched meat
Stretched across a burning wheel.

DEMONIC ACROBATICS

Based on an experience as a young boy.

LEMMINGS EITHER SIDE

It took one #bellwether
To lead the first lemming off the cliff,
Now there's an infinite flow,
A torrent of disciples
Crashing into the rocks.

They don’t ask questions,
Just mumble their silly mantras
Recently learned from the c*nt in front of them.

GHOST

Perhaps she wasn't proper
Like a fairy in a knot
Perhaps she was a message
From a conscious A.I bot
Perhaps she didn't matter
#Perhaps she was a glitch
Temptation from the Devil
Or the Chupacabra itch

Perhaps she wasn't real
Like
A
Poem
In
A
Box

He’s brutal and untamed,
Like a ferret in a wheel
(Taking shortcuts through a field).
An #extrusion of love bursting from his groin,
Signs his name in the dirt.

They #conspire against me,
Whisper, snake, slide across my eyes.

I hear them splash,
Angry insects urinating in my ear,
Dragging me to serious places,
“We don’t like it when you’re happy.”

I grin in 3 halves
(A triangle that points to the ground),
Skipping thru the water.

DROP A COIN INTO THE SLOT

Their heads literally wobble in posh restaurants,
Smug and greedy as the waiter pours the wine.
#Rein it in, guys,
This is humankind
And we’re on the same team.
You ain’t better than anyone,
You just happen to have more plastic in the bank.

CRUEL MOON

We’ve all got potential,
But what’s potential if we’re gonna die tomorrow?
Peace should be the only path,
No choice, only love.
And if it ain’t,
Take a look at your argument and start again.

SKEG VEGAS 🎰👾

We stayed a night
(Before the hugs and kisses),
Somewhere safe to make things #bearable,
I said, “It reminds me of lads on the p*ss.”
Ha! If the 90's were a cup,
It would be full of beer and cum.

Vanity eats the rat
And flees into the stack,
Eyes don't like the panic,
But it's always coming back.

Nah, that light ain't a beacon of hope,
It's the horizon burning,
Fresh flames and dying embers,
An #article on self-delusion
(Slow and uneasy
Like a 10 quid striptease).

I pray to God
And the irony kicks me in the face.
I've never believed in Her,
Yet here I am, placing donations at Her altar.
“What do you want from me?” She asks,
“'Cos for the world to survive,
Humanity can’t be here.”
I dwell upon Her words,
Beyond the #pungent fate of Earth.

You've heard our patter,
Then seen us at the bar talking 2 our mates
(Sharing fantasies and boasting about our tally).

We're just dogs (running on chemicals),
Wiping our history
(Or going incognito).

If u want honesty,
Then here it is…
OLD DOG, NEW TRICKS 🐕
A #jovial dig at “bloke” romance

THEY CAME FROM PLANET EARTH

They came from planet Earth,
6 by 6 by 6
(Multiply and multiply again).

Various shapes adorned their hulls,
Vague threats and some less subtle
(Shark Fist, Napalm Teeth, Masher 5).

They came from planet Earth,
#Sentient beings
Reckless for consumption.

TEDDY BEAR PICNIC

Today’s the perfect day
For a picnic with the Bear,
To eat pork pies
And drink from a tartan flask.
No time for pretending
Or wishing I was a tough guy,
Reality knows I'm hungry
(And Teddy's got a sandwich).
“Come on," says the #audacious bear,
"Try and f**king take it!"
