DOORS

GET IN THE BACK OF THE VAN

i watched Bez
protesting
placed
in a police van

officer hand on his bucket hat head

slamming the back doors  
like a movie 

i didnt realise who he was

till later

when
he
was
doing
the
bicycle monkey dance
with his maracas 
on the reunion stage

and the police
were
breathing in
free
reefer

behind me


COMBINATIONS RESET
TO A BAND
OF MONOCHROME ZEROES

when the door is opened
to honest-to-death admission

its like a spring shower
and i feel
clean as a brook

and
when
hot lake
meets
hot lake

then the skeleton cupboards
all 
misplace 
their 
keys


HEADSPACE DOORS

and theres like a door opening
in your headspace

when
the
soul
of
a
poem 
appears formed
like
the
ghost
of a dead relative
after
a
of
cup
of
tea

till waking or distraction
renders
it
just a single heart over your head

like in a Tex Avery cartoon

with
one
beat
left
