    touche to the mustache
    stuck in potato skins
    grown from the stomach of a waitress
    she never really cared
    she never really noticed

    and undertow forms under toes
    suck me in to melody
    for deflecting bullets with machettes
    is impossible
    it's improbable

    coffee glasses and champaign mugs
    used at portholes, i see clearly
    as the piano stares me down
    it's so intimidating
    not so complicating

    rush an ambulance to the graveyard
    i think someone is dead there
    tip-toe through the roses
    they shine so bright
    when dusk becomes night

    temptation of nicotine swells my ears
    like the potato skins
    grown from the stomach of the waitress
    i never really noticed that
    she never really cared

    I am the snow indifferent
    on fields outside a train
    coming from you
    sunflower smile and frown,
    I didn't know you were broken
    until........
    I must have fixed you

    You are the snow indifferent
    on scorched skin and that
    place where light is slow
    and the almost-pain that
    makes us whole
    lies coiled-up waiting.

    Hi, Dark Muse, I like this one. I like the simple question.
    There is no polite way
    of being happy

    Watching you

    Watching you

    I can see what you’re doing
    out there,
    through the kitchen window.

    How you bend low,
    dip your hand into the shallow
    pool and stare into it
    as though reading your fortune,
    or calculating a path to lead you
    thought the stars, reflected
    there in the gathering gloom.
    See you drink it;

    I turn back into the room,
    disgusted with your
    need to consume everything
    you lay your dirty hands on.

    And yesterday
    I saw you in Tesco,
    and followed you
    down the petfood aisle;
    saw you smile as
    you lifted the Whiskas biscuits
    over your chin, tipping them
    into that big mouth.
    Saw your fishy-black grin

    mincing around the store,
    never before have I laid my eyes
    on a man so thoroughly
    beyond redemption.

    Then last night I closed
    my eyes so I couldn’t hear
    your gritty lies, or sink into
    the blackness of your breath.
    I felt you rising over me
    consuming me
    all but completely, your teeth-marks
    deeply printed to my breast.

    And the rest, I guess
    you already know. I am watching you
    out of the window, and wherever
    you go I’ll be watching.

    Very good, 5th. I was afraid it wasn't going to be weird enough at first, but it eased into it, which was good, better, in a way than going weird right away.

    This joke will cut you up, he said,
    He seemed to see the knife flash
    and his sides split
    with violent shaking
    eyes screwed nearly shut,
    lips stretched back grotesquely.
    This joke he seemed split with,
    Violent, shaking, lips nearly back,
    shut grotesquely, and his will
    seemed cut, his knife stretched
    and split back, said flash, shut
    the knife, the joke, his split,
    eyes split back, shaking, nearly cut.

    Now, kid, with your pid buck toot
    Get out, by your anguished knees and feet
    Tell. It. Son. This
    for a gap-toothed boatman rolling up
    on the shores of newly fascist
    fragrant, sceptered, windswept and
    God.for.saken
    Land of my fathers, mothers and various
    unrelated descendants of Kane.
    Hello! What's cooking, kids?
    What does a fella have to do
    to get a bit of action 'round these parts?
    And who died and made you manager
    of this
    here
    boondock?
    Dronk King fleecing
    arms of a young boy
    open naively to the world.
    Ball. Play with ball.

    The bark is scarring, Cat pain, Mordechai, Beely
    bodking parturates unusually flatulently, even for her
    over her new nightgown and out pops
    the playboy of the western world
    reading yesterday's Times
    and rolling the afterbirth around his mouth
    like chewing gum.
    I'm him, he says, winkingly, the drool dripping
    with other effluvia
    down his dress suit front.
