I wandered joyless
In a shroud
With redundant Priests
On welfare
Remembered how
I never got tired
Doing the 81
With Candy And The Kisses
The bitter sulphate fizz
Of the plastic elastic sea
At the sun’s grey rise
Proves the natural has failed
- Men Women Sex Time Size
Birthing pain, would-be suicides
Obese time wheezed on and on
Memories tinkled like rusty cowbells
Pouting from leather energy
In boyish ritual
Tactile as eye-grit
On the whip of 9
I put on clothes of bygone style
Pushing back to the old culture
But only as I knew it
