world cup final
lost
at the very same same time
that the world is burning in the winds
of yours and my full time
the winner rescinds and so
the loser loses even more
than time
loses hope loses minds
the anthropocene blows the whistle
they warned that is was all over
well it is now
da doo ron ron da …
virtual particles
popping in and out of existence
mutual attraction yet annihilation of opposites
brownian motion
stationary waves
the chaos theory of perchance
the predictable unpredictability of the human mind
yes we have no bananas
you see
a neurone goes mad
again
regaling the soul
a soul in an ossuary
how unnecessary life’s things are
hanging upside down on the railings
the girls looked at the boys
in the way girls do
before they hang up their dreams
in the ossuary of their own homes
built with the guano of dried dreams
washing on a time line
gales
questions for the new century
how long before the fan breaks down
the conveyor belt shudders to a stop
the escalator become a stare
at the adverts for armageddon
how big will the y axis need to be extended before
the red ink runs out
how many back burners before the truth boils over
eh?
oh yes ‘eh?’ is the unending questioning of the ending
how high is the sky
above
how high will the sea rise
how can melting ice freeze me
is anthroposcene an anagram
is the day of the triffids overdue
in the library of the bible
who has the pieces of silver now
who will shoot first
duality duels itself
remember
when seeking a word
the word asylum came to mind
i never asked
he never proffered
both of us would have refused
they say an elephant never forgets
windfalls
tick them off
one by one
the chores
then
with the time that’s left
make another list
list the old songs
step back in time
one by one
one after one after one
life’s loves
make a list
hum a tune
as the apples fall
take a bite out of life
memories
windfalls rap out a tune
on life’s lawn
climate change ~ phaw!
look
if we turn the graph upside down
all is fine
the football is on tomorrow
chill out
nothing to see here
move along now
you’re getting all heated up
i would say again
but then again
tomorrow is on the back burner
