lyrics

agnostics can be found
sat astride the transparent wall
that separates the punters
rolling naked in heaven’s clover
from the massed ranks of atheists
who are naturally surprised
but know their place
their necks are craned
as they file past the gates
enquiring gazes are met
with friendly shouts and waves
acquaintances are recognised
eyebrows are raised
and quizzical half-smiles
are etched on each and every face

and I just shake my head
almost imperceptibly
and move on with the rest



these feelings
are like
icicles solar
just melting
inconsequential moisture
telepathically coupled
unconsummated flesh
yielding to
imagined temptations
not permitted
also uninvented
nonetheless enticing
deluded contemplations
yes when
attention received
naked imagination
goes unchecked



such a deviant
one look corrupts
the rising sun

curdles breast milk
with the flick
of a tongue

vomit inducing philosophy
pisses in the
face of decency

open your mouth
utter verbal excrement
flows out incessantly

a little harsh
perhaps you know
who you are

when the revolution
comes you’re first
against the wall

I’ve arranged and
polished these bullets
especially for you

don’t I right
the wrongs now
write the rules?

surprised I find
myself up against
the wall too



as we changed the sheets today
I found my lost libido
in the dust that gathers in clumps
under the bed
quivering next to an errant sock
they huddled together for a little warmth
I’d previously reported it awol, astray
missing presumed dead
(I’ve heard it said and I’ve read
that's how the solar system formed,
you know - gas, dust, odd socks
and lost libido)
