The Police
I was gonna SMS you something like
seriously you are beautiful
the taxi fulfilled its airport purpose
about a hundred metres down from the house
the music was terrible & so was that video
the ignorant of three dimensional drunken spectacle devoured
really, I haven't been on the lookout for a while
but when you laughed & a smile cracked both our
beanstalks of seeming assurance
there was a syrup between the fibrous snaps
a sugar cane break's shy point of impact that
a couple of turns on an apple stem confirms
in the seasoned farmer's happy hands.
So we privately glide into a fitting-room fire.
Untitled
Did your parents select the pink & blue lino cuts on merit
or a premise known rarely to guys?
only survived by the old money wives
commentating every tessellated stride
the men together five steps ahead
& nearly at the naturally lit kitchen.
the entrance hall is today's straightforward croquet maze
tiny childish linos in flat make your way please frames.
smack your eye through an unchallenging arch/
the prime mover a mallet-head of equal size.
swinging between your legs
is a fulcrum of lies.
such rituals still sustain mysterious pinnacles -
the grin of the art dealer as the stupid door-bell
caught intentionally on the corner chimes
& browsing becomes infinitely more dignified/
the eventual credit card palmed away
like a relaxed baton as the gallery sighs.
