Balloons
*****
I’ve got a little hill with little green men and green tanks
in the hills of Milton Keynes
a bottle of pop
&
a bumble bee
summer ’83
*****
Peter Tooth is delightfully
sane
(Jubilee Line. Wembley to Kings Cross)
*****
the boy scouts of America
yeeeeeeeee
still smiling into gorge
way to dry lake
to blow off bottle rockets
with little red white blue flags
******
wee boy bat
in back-
seat
santa on dash
2 galloons
of coca cola
hershey’s kiss
twinkling in moonlight
unwrap what you got
i’m itchy in eyelids
*****
the lizards are still
waiting
in Vegas
******
man leans over
notebook
on tube
from Wembley to King’s Cross
as I write what woman
across said
******
ah cretins
goodbye
such clarity come
help you
, the horrors ,
*******
my scum is so so
deep
skanky
lovebottom
I’m taking
my hat off
it’s almost a midsummer
night’s
popcorn
popping
on the apricot tree
adios!
ego!
SPLASH!
******
we’re all together
at Wet N’ Wild
but you do not
remember
stay, o, stay
amid the hideous faces
hidden
behind
balloons balloons balloons
BALLOONS
******
now i’ve found
the poem
it’s called Balloons
uhhhhgh
so quickly
hop into magnetic field
balloons contain
lolly’s
and clowned out voices
I can do it, too
this is where
we want to go
to the b-day party
or the hot dog party
the balloons in Elblag
northern Poland
near station
a room of cheeseburgers
squeeze into
how do you feel
what do you think
balloons
******
you’ve heard the poem
you’ll love the glove
this is the passage of the arkvark
*****
thank you
steamy
*****
I’m squeezing my head thru
a hole
in the wall
you’re the wall
or I’m the wall
yr wall or my wall
it’s your head
head+hole
hole+head
we’re all in
THIS
together!
