TREE DREAM OF OTTERS & TROUT

& the crypto mothman

has been sighted again

digging in the dump

for his plastic slab

of unicorn wealth

& snake oil -

well its a brand now

& off-grid looks good

looks like a fad

looks like a hard death

a place to be born

but not move too

a tree dream of otters & trout

to think on

when the wifi is down

NOR COMIC HEROES ON

they dressed 

us in black & grey
no colours 

nor comic heroes on

they put us 

in stiff shoes
for us 

to polish them too

when we were small 

& had no voice

& hiding was the best game

CATS RIDING DONKEYS TOO

the worlds ok really
just look at the internet

i can see the species unravel

in narcissism & violence

or zoom with a therapist 

& see cats riding donkeys too

i have scrolled for miles

& theres no end in sight

potted life on tap

in the soft lap of plenty

ANCIENT OAKUM

its
all
like
dried up glue

stringy & ugly
& something to pick at

ancient oakum come loose

& on the way 

to the kitchenette bin

in the peach colour prefab

then landfill

or a south pacific beach

where the turtles

cosplay westerners

but never for long

THE CREATIVE PUSH & PULL

you got to push it out
like birth
from need
from heart
forced by guts
out the valve you tore

& you must pull too
with exposure
laying bait
& fishing & trawling & mining

& if all that is
is a weak fart
on low hanging fruit

well i still did it
