    Deep Scratch – Paperback
  • SQ – December Reflections

    Can’t be arsed to edit this, you get the jist.

    Go forward mutate fly
    Hum and dance keep it simple
    It is simple
    32 mutations and counting
    Like Tik-Tok vs. Youtube
    Which is more infectious?
    Like real guns vs water pistols
    Which more deadly
    The corona virus don’t wanna’ kill us
    It wants to join us for the wild ride
    Assimilate, co-conspire
    Expire as we do
    Inspire us to be better than them
    Better than them
    Smarter by empathy
    Viruses gonna’ evolve
    Natural origins or unatural
    What is that?

    Why man and a bat why not just the bat
    A man or women, a bat a virus or
    A lab, a bat, a leak, a virus?
    What is natural to you
    Give me a clue to chew as dawn breaks
    So we track the mutations Alpha Beta Gamma Delta
    Omicron
    What’s new on the Amino Acid scene?
    What lives next door
    Which acids and which letters switched
    Switched letters you say
    Like the S/T transfer of Einstein
    Or the HCE ALP switches of Joyce
    These voices are calling you

    A pile of bards bodies piled high
    Are singing for you
    This is how it goes
    Everybody gets infected
    Few get very ill
    Virus 1 humans 0
    Yet the new science will roar on
    The twenties will be RAW
    New science of entourage effect
    Whole greater than parts

    Burroughs said language is
    A virus from outer space
    Amino acid mutations is a 
    Language from inner space
    Fitness, adaptation, spoonerisms
    Symmetry and amino
    Crossword puzzle proteins
    Thus word spike floating
    Whirlpool raspberry coating
    Sugar and spice and terpene
    Excuse my burping I’m searching
    Spike Lee spike sea urchin
    Shrooms and silver tree birchin’  
    Comb over my curtain
    Truths hurting, hoofs hoofin’
    Windy gales blew my roof in
    Complex spiked balls trading letters
    Grabbing alphabets
    Chemical spells tricky word games
    Re-edits, reverse transcripts
    Inverse the curse Love trips
    Love thy enemy Hug the beast
    Study the mutant Sit down for the feast at least
    Map trajectories
    Open for updates
    Open for optimism
    The beginning of the end
    Omicron’s final days
    Final mutation into oblivion
    A mild tepid cold or some other
    Order of beingness, long term side effects?
    What do you make of it?
    What does it make of you?

    The viruses seems and acts atheist
    No ghosts in that machine
    All billion year old school vibes
    Mold tool tribes
    Booked mule rides A-Z
    Chemically DNA-RNA GATC
    Bass amino acid house basement
    Labs no cash just grabs
    Waterspout rush hot pinks salmon
    Autumn petal rustic
    Letter swatch time
    Itch rhyme swish
    Mutate enough to infect the meaning
    Not too far from the path
    But a new path, draft, a raft craft
    A daft math graph for laughs
    A saft bath salt fault line for guilt to
    Drink and eat at the table
    Molecules unstable why jumping
    What is that chest thumping
    Is that humping and pumping or
    Flumping and dumping Xing Ping
    Lab leak flab geek
    Boomer with a pooter
    Too fast crashed the scooter
    What master plan, what end game?
    Natural or not how you distinguish
    Same
    Letters switch like train tracks
    Coaches steaming in
    Vaccines rolling out
    Aspirations to be the aspirate Robin Hood
    Exasperate and gasps I make
    A lot of clots and side effects mateIf you don’t aspirate the needle
    Your care for the patient is feeble
    Look it up google + scholar

    Flip the scriptease
    Translate, taste the acid
    Face the acid, I meano’
    Go deep and study  
    Get a tooth bloody
    Letters keep turning
    Mutating like gyres inside
    Like Joyce inside and like
    Shannon error correction
    The race to the mildest variation
    A Goldbloom variation
    Tepid background buzz
    Endemic and with us like Bach
    Or Coltrane or Joyce
    Ubiquitous yet non-lethal
    A viral ecosystem of harmonic
    Convergence and decoherence
    Ever changing everliving
    Eternal return change eternal 4D block
    Form and function in between each slice
    Humanity engulfed by the loving 
    Protection of viruses against other more deadly
    Viruses

    Who knows what protection we have
    Against changing the letters
    Changing the words around to make
    Something Nu-topiaN
    Whatever it is I’ll assimilate
    Through the lens of art all is fodder
    We churn the cosmos, earth, flora forna
    Together mixing and curddling
    Repel attract pull and push
    These features beyond art
    Science, the secret hero of these scrawls
    Yes, that rough stickler and prickly beast
    Science
    Yet its compliance or not
    That’s the question a lot’s got
    And I’m tired of trotting the trot
    Spit out the cot, weird is born
    Breath Lee Hem Lee Whorf
    Ordinate courses cast for past torus
    Shored like a tortoise
    Husky like a mollusc eyes read and crusty
    Wind up my sleeve, papers blustery
    At the bus stop, big mystery

    Kiss the sky shine the mind, look down
    Foot to work, hand to jerk juxtapose toes
    Illuminated detail
    Precise, accurate or rot
    Spiral staircase
    Waterspout, whirlpool
    Vortex what you got DNA RNA transcription cyclone
    Dyadic Lilly Climb the book hill, spiral helix tone
    Dubbed the he licks tomb
    Clubbed till early morn’
    Rubbed the teapot, come out, come on
    Twisted locks picked packed lips puckered
    Flows battered, the pizza pattern
    To mean similar toppings Alpha
    Beta Gamma Delta
    Omicron
    All cheese
    I’m a scientist now get on your knees
    I took a lying test and passed with straight Z’s
    People speak covid breezeI just choke up and sneeze
    Scratchin’ wax, I got fleas
    Lay with dogs you dream leads
    A good breath and some beads
    Some good soil and some seeds
    A lil’ water outta’ feed, the new bleeding edge
    Sledge packed, culture
    Ready for what comes after
    Tale of the tribe
    Learning with laughter
    Graff and what comes after
    The next generation of thinkers
    ArtistsIt’s all for them to untangle
    Looked at from every side angle
    Every sly angel
    As you sit round that candle
    Know this

    War is over
    Assimilate with the virus
    No, scratch that
    Be fucking careful out there
    Please, for god’s sake wear a mask
    It’s ain’t hard If you don’t want the vaccine don’t take it
    But don’t take it I’m dragging you to the snake pit
    I took it, so that’s that
    Logged in the bucket
    Discussion is good Censors crooked
    That said
    Sometimes that hate just ain’t cooking
    In my kitchenette lithograph
    Love all the people and you do the math
    Come around my gaff
    Listen as I guff’
    Cover mics with a glove or a muff
    Covid’s gone just like that
    Into us all puff
    So I’m with you fellow humans
    It’s time to join the new fam’
    What’s identity anyhow but a trick
    Or a scam

    I’m my eyeballs, blood, bone and thoughts
    I’m my nervous system brain body interface
    Call me Steve, ole’ yam yam
    Beats damned up, tracks slammed up
    Art in tatters, shattered
    From the broken ant hill new ants
    Lost turtles, subtle
    Sub to rain gods calling 1,2,3
    Footsteps of herds bring shrooms
    14 days later rain
    I mean to say
    Cycles seasons capture change
    Predict mutation like Chalmers
    Predict, what is that?
    Edict on the derelict terror flicks
    Mutate, out smart the pricks
    Spread wings of love tolerance
    Understanding and fierce blessing
    Pierce hate with peace now stop messing’
    Cheers mates keep flossing
    Ven diagram ear needs glossing
    Switch letters by rhyme tossing
    Messy bossy fitness germ infectious term posseI don’t want it truth be told
    And I want to help strangers
    The vulnerable and old
    You do too so join me please
    In coughing in your elbow and 
    Hand to mouth when you sneeze
    Keep on flowing now don’t freeze
    Doubling of information
    Negentropic nature of things
    Entourage compound emic ettic attic tease
    Static wave ecstatic hilarity
    A kinda super fury dope rhyme singularity
    With a coherent disparity
    Between the point and marrow see
    Bones, all I see is drones
    All I write are songs
    Only thing I hit is bongs
    Packed with hash and weed though
    Printing hinting guarantees low
    Minting NFTease
    Pinching flynichin
    D lynch binge king

    Squintin Quarantino–11/12/21     

    Corona Slayer: Squintin Quarantino by Steven James Pratt https://www.amazon.de/dp/B09JVM38N8/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_ASNEARKTV6NGV0STNN21

  • Corona Slayer 2

    Written, recorded, produced and mastered by Steve Fly @ Fly Agaric Studios, Amsterdam. 24-28th July 2021. (Edited 10th August & September 13th, 2021)

    Since March 2020, Squintin Quarantino has been writing rhymes in a ‘first thought best thought’ manner, presented here with little editing. This is the second installment following on from the first ‘Corona Slayer E.P’ (released in September 2020.

    I trust these rhymes will cohere for you. Starting with the global lockdown 1 in March 2020, rhymes helped me to crawl through the last sixteen months. Besides straight ahead prose writing and my experimental novel: Deep Scratch, this SQ outlet helped cleanse my racing mind.

    SQ is intent on spreading rhymes and scrutiny of the Covid response, focused on the UK and Holland. The growing abyss between the rich and poor, and lack of support for providing food, clothing and shelter for all humanity has tripled the blow on the vulnerable. Now’s the time to take personal responsibility. #coronaslayer

    CORONA SLAYER 2

    First thought best thought is writing what comes to mind and sticking with it, a reflection of what arises and surprises. Surprise equals information, said a wise women.



    To be clear, I do not ascribe to the Wuhan lab leak theory, I do not ascribe to the vaccination conspiracy to kill off the human race, I do not ascribe to the 5G conspiracy, and I do not think that Covid is a hoax, that said, I do think that pre-pandemic trajectories of greed have escalated due to the rise of populist self-interest assisted by data robbers and media manipulators, fanning the flames of this god aweful virus.

  • Squintin Quarantino – Third Coming

    Third Coming
    Can you hear the clapping, my gums flappin’
    Moronic juicy rhymes keep the songs sap in
    Religion double tappin’ state talk crappin’
    Corona virus wave, another victory lappin
    Third coming
    Crowned for Easter
    Profit from misery is a sign of the beast (er)
    Baste the turkey with Brexit, the piss, Boris teks it
    You vote for rabid dogs and Brexit you get sick
    The virus, Zuck text it, fuck facebook and hex twit
    Take you bitcoin and shove it up your arse slit
    Who work for it, masses of energy, you tit
    No wonder Elon want Bitcoin to hit the ceiling
    Lao Tzu, Hegel and Machiavelli thieving
    Layers of capital, players and neigh sayers
    No socialist agenda to help or pay us
    Third coming
    Business class ass still got a thumb in
    Free ride capital, greedy market slummin’
    Mean motherfuckers own the means to living
    And I keep moaning, remaining, reframing
    Hot under the tongue, breath aiming flaming
    Wildfires
    From coast to coast
    Dumbos spread the virus like its jam on toast
    And my petty rhymes don’t even begin to roast
    Most the guests at the park who insult the host
    The planet’s not ours to save
    Greed stings like aftershave
    A curse on plague DJs who play the plague rave
    Greeting the third wave, go live in your cave
    Third coming
    In the air tonight like a song
    And I’m using a dolphin as a wake-shift bong
    You can thank Boris Trump Putin and Ping
    For the super spread of capital mutations this spring
    There’s a way out, forward, just look
    For the mutualist syndicalist anarchist book
    It may take a while, more destruction and bile
    We must crawl mile after mile after mile
    Eat that third shit sandwich and smile
    I know, my once tasty raps may seem vile
    Some raps snap like a crocodile
    Some traverse the Ganjes and Nile
    I’ve mysteries and manuals on file
    Spit a botticelli mosaic on your floor tile
    Suck satan off kitchen foil
    Cook up spies until they ready boiled
    Memories well oiled
    Serpent’s tooth and tail coiled
    Bed and pants soiled
    Poems loyal, dialed, dyed and royal real
    A bargain bop bonanza, a steel
    A wing on the third rail, another on the wheel
    Third coming
    Yower’ all-grow-ridim can’t latch me
    This patch is quilted with hatched ste
    Setting head fires with match key
    Game set seal, Adamski
    Born inwards Lee
    Burrows down to Gordon Brown’s downfall
    Gordon Bennet wrote it, I just float a bit
    Encircle, we mote it bee line for bass face distance sting
    Third Coming
    Ouch, like a corkwynder to our chops
    Like people without masks buying bog roll in shops
    Britain top of the pops
    But the band eating slops
    The Queen still banking and reaping our crops
    My flipper it flops, the bit penny drops
    From heaven or hell, or Giza cheops
    Capitals zit pops, death toll hit tops
    Exceptionally sexless brexit means worse off
    Oh well, so let’s make a mockery
    Come see my garden pond, deck chairs and rockery
    I fancy pigeons in my flockery
    Writs sound odd like socks, hurry
    In a global pandemic I’m sick like McFlurry
    Furry like mink
    Stinky like skunk
    Tuned up on Sun Ra and Thelonious Monk
    Third coming
    Like a trilogy
    We say three and in dutch it’s drie
    Wonton soup and cantaloupe with brie
    That predictive techx cunht catch flea
    Mimic my octopus, high me, fly me
    Word coming back from the grave
    Forgiveness, NHS not Jesus saves
    Eton enclaves and PPE chums
    Suck up resources and steal the last crumbs
    Tory Brexit death march to distant drums
    Oh diddums, it’s only a life
    Only a son, daughter, mother, father, husband or wife   
    Put down the knife, pick up the pen
    Write it out kids, let us begin
    Hideous crimes by this lying gangerino
    Pale when compared with Squintin Quarantino

      

  • Squintin Quarantino – 2021 Vision

    SQ, so what you ganna’ do
    You believe in Q and I tell you that we’re all through
    In the stew, I sue you like a lawyer, throw you in the dryer, prove I’m much flyer
    Dug, you better dig like a dog
    Sq alert and watching time like a sprung cog (nition)
    Like a fly on a mission, squintin lamentin’ 21 vision
    Build, lets get it together
    I be hear rhyming all the time through the weather
    Gags I gather, shaving no lather
    My pants are leather, heart light as a feather

    2021, we travel to the sun
    Bring the beats from the stars home for everyone
    We all got the lurgy, tip the ice-burgy
    Beats make you boogie, gettin’ howser’d like Dougie
    Revolt, like a lighting bolt
    My tongue on twelve volt singa zinga see salt
    Flash out the pan to make you understan’
    Trump and his terror squad like the Taliban
    Spies in the van, sir veil lance man
    Following the fuhrer with the fake orange tan
