as if you care
coal and water
coming up I travelled out from outside
in another time
the water level has given me pain in their bones
there are similar problems there too
I went to see a ball well, well
we have been diverted to a fierce debate
tens of thousands of people
put on hold
they pour into the street
water gardens
increasingly thirsty
cheap natural
gas
I recommend in equal measure you
leave town
they ask
for granted

running around the Goblin Wood
in a large part
not wait
a different way was to write
to ask for help
so there was this problem
and they do not ask for help
in her/his becoming cyclonic one is assailed
down the wet rides of forest backings
he just stands there and says
the circumpomp of nothing: these tirades
oh wide and wet we walk we squawk
do you mind?
what about new questions?
of the side-views one says nothing
but always there is the cave the caving
in her hat she sits imagine her in her hat
reading like that so surrounded
dead now close to sleep, snakes and pixies
the whole welter of female forest
which floor it goes to
the whole template
can you pick me up
and carry me?
clustered about her my boys my boys
the sudden learning of pain
everything else, everything
what do you make of this?

drawing on research
some victims fallen through
thousands of people

what's this about?

heavy weather
going forward good for him
or mainstream anything
a terrible judgement
I probably don't think of myself
I try to make sure
it's the time of the week
is it true, your hair?

his hankering for hatha yoga

this summit has been a dangerous platitude

yeah
yeah

are you really going to do all that?
out of Rio

nothing new, John

floods in which

further downpours are forecast later today
the missing pilot
residents of Mytholmroyd, Todmorden, Hebden Bridge
have never been asked
staff have been required to turn up on this scale
this is weak and lacks ambition
not an umbrella
action

spilling rice, consumed
by pipes and pounding internal libraries
oh the complications of this
no there will be no love

but appreciation only
no appreciation but
(how easy with one's own)
a grassless strip upon the lawn
from me to him

rat-children
intimate as rats with my two small sons
I feel failed
as though we had approached a cliff edge
then refused to jump
into that new world
I don't know now
if I can ever catch up
with their stamping afar
am I so cowardly?
how they stamp
how their stamping pounds
how the fail-pounds, the fail-fat
the stamp rat-ever
what would you say now, rat-children
of all my dreams?
my own ratness
look, imagine you came home
and there on the drive, the approach
you in your school stuff
only eight
and a pig's head
a dog eating a pig's face
oh it's just brawn for the dogs
says your porridge mother
for god's sake it's like seeing your grandfather
suddenly giving the mad neighbour a blowjob
you just know the world has changed

allowed by the awesome wells
given the relevant finances one might purchase a submarine
even if the purpose is unconnected to wildflowers
or the lifeclock it is likely that still
the transaction spillover involves both
radical fiscal reforms that are clearly needed
explain the effect inspired by the occupy
there is huge confusion: zero percent
they are much more likely
my question is that I was hugely with you
what of all this biology as externality?
what has gone wrong?
genitalia confer advantages as well as the awful
possibility of tearing pain when vaulting hedges
of hawthorn and wild plum.that's the kind of heroism.
it's not much fun.there are two countries.
one is all we have time for.as is indicated.
I am regulated capturing the nation
between the BBC and the British Library
did that really happen to us?
slash beauty for a brittle bone disease
television would change him forever
but he was born with a terrible illness
it would happen continually and for all sorts of reasons
like a child's toy
the awful boy
who denies all joy
[he always said]
.these if you were wondering
are the only positive network externalities
allowed by the awesome wells
see through the periscope the bush vetch
the tall meadow buttercup the forget me not the germander speedwell
the broad-leaved willowherb the herb robert
may yours always be apparent and gradual
with small bones that die young
in that most of all may you love to laugh

just blind, fat

six squeaks at public understanding
all our stories in disarray
strange words, long gaps
narratives without connection
you don't know what they are trying to communicate
look he says I need to speak
from elsewhere
I am not from here and my speaking place
is not from here
I am an eggplant or a cloud
nothing, nothing
to you
where people are

busted clocksonnet in tradette—stopped, stop't
then she should have walked quickly to every clock
reached in and stopped them like breaking
the necks of roosters
[all of it skeletal in this vision
her fingers, the clock-hands
tick tick nothing, no more]
whenever this moment was reached
how long did his clock go on when hers
had already stopped
and he was, not knowing, dead, his neck broken
on some farmyard stump
his heart already stopped from outside
—inside there, in the movement, the escapement
where it ticks
if there was no time left, no movement
he should have known
maybe he also could have raced to every clock
in his just-dead comb-house of dreams
stopped it all, set every hand to midnight
///but it was just left to roll
all of it now, even alarms, reminders
wholly illegal in the presence
of the unescaped dead
himself only a ghost, disregarded, required now
to be so silent in unstated euthanasia
only recently able to laugh at such alarms
all of it, this
ugh

five pounds of fat dying in a big big barrel
palatalised velars such as KAAAAAAAAAAAA die all around
..........................................45-15-30
Je ne regrette oh whatever you don't seem to understand
.............they won't accept failure we won't last two days
how many of those people are there?
a new foodstuff discovered within
...................................................neurolinguistic recipe
abiogenesis in a pan an analogue of human egg tissue wakes up
now neuro-cannibalism is all the thing, like meta-oral sex, somewhat
but the schwa over all, the great schwa of no or more nuh uh erh uh
its blurry bloody eyes folded in with epicanthic word-clusters
..............................................................it's no longer human
all of this from a omelette
a Calabi-Yau egg-mess
fried-up Jungle Book
what the Fat Wah called the Junglee Boy
.......................................................................can you do it?
[can't fix that no one can]
just/lightning/simulated/lightning
organics, aminos, twisting hydrogen-bonding, compuncling
watch it happen KAAAAAAAAAAAAA thirteen
like a dreadnought Christchild sucking down bread
full of new milt, bread-wine, the swiving of elements
you in the tapas bar struggling to voiceless
your dental fricative.
the rest of us trying the new offal all of us off in a strange bean soup
45-15-30
in strange new
instrange anew as though
a ristotle had beelundered
nothing you have to say
she has left this world, no longer regards
you.......................your fucking half-awake bean soup
......................................................fuller with gut stuff
fluh, fluh
