Trembling in his
own arms arrested
by hunger to walk home
the moon sickle
points to its own
tremulant rays
with the frightening
obscurity of Van Gogh
Super cans of
giant blue open
up and breathe
fizzling golden Smarties
into the atmosphere
and a homeward gas cloud
of rotten apples
crosses staggering
bridges in starlight
desirous of toppling
in the wetness of
obscurity
stands motionless
at crossroads
smokes watching
the transluscense
hit the sky
an enviable beard of
uneaten dinners
a dark sleepwalker
of the visions at night
he is the old meandering
shagpile who knows what
comes out underneath
a man wise with obscurity
never to be a parent
we are pregnant with
a universal
nomadic desire
embodied in that beard
proud parents
of LynxSure --
-- FairyDettol
abortionists
pragmatic and
sterile
we all bought
the ticket tho
we don't
choose the numbers
the machine does
tho maybe the
Lottery men pick
the machine (or
name it)
point being
the toothless hero
of starlight would
rather be drinking
Havana or Harp
but they gave him
a Super
so thats what he
drank
point being
drinking champagne
or cider
he still walks in
circles
trying to go home
