these things shudder by as half-eaten dreams but who gives
their outcome unknown
once I was eating a cake the next minute in wild ships
and this was in India by the southern lights and cookies
on midlife half-human scooters in rainstorms there in Goa
oh come on with the waterfall then! you monkey-faced tumble
all day and night Vishnu fucking Vishnu
well I cared for nothing but vindaloo tortoise
it's a colour most pronounced. it is a colour most pronounced
(most prized and otherwise-hued)
for there by the river as dead women
rocked by our swollen footage and beyond snakes on all sides
on the tide a huge dead elephant
onshore a nothing
some Gay men from Birmingham
and all night at dead Coco Beach
near to the rainstorm in a hut
made from cardboard where once
the wicked witch of the west et up all of a tortoise
now see how you is
but next the jellyfish.think hard.think soft and slow
by the pools this boy over and over
no he says no this is not the poem you were born to write
then he jumps, runs, snips
turns into an old man with binoculars
he is unreachable now and will not speak
you've never seen the sky so low
if you sing this shit again you will surely die
Coco Beach near Namaste near the chickenfish gurning so beyond
Portugal all over like there are horses, territories
colonies of way-out spice fucked from behind
look: potatoes, cinammon, wine, vinegar, dead stuff and packed hair
I am all done with it anyway and halfway baked
when he comes back from the pool
waSted like that and little and offers up
an oyster yeah i grab it
next thing we are buddies
drowning together in blue vapour
our hearts streaming out as red strings
on the guitars [red/blue]
of people we will never know/knew
the man out at sea the man who stands there
we open each others' wardrobes look in at our peril
I want to say more have you seen will you ever know
what about it anyway?
