  • Butterfly Encounters

    flapping overhead

    flash of orange, rustic brown

    eclipse the suns ray

    gracefully lands on 

    emerald leaf

    opens wing with a stutter

    catching the sun

    solar panelled wings

    biological perfection

    motif of transformation

    launching and flipping

    unpredictably

    showing off aeronautical

    dexterity

    sensing my gaze

    the butterfly lands at the table

    checking in

    my red and black t-shirt

    rum or thc oils 

    off with a zip zap

    back again 

    legs steady wings out

    visible brown fur

    dutch orange patches with

    white silken edges  

    stockings embroidered leaves

    gone with a flitter only to return

    closer 

    ten seconds later      

    aerodynamic teacher

    with hot black and white 

    antennae socks

    where did you come from

    where do you go

    music on the air

    non verbal living language 

    shared interest

  • 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

      

  • Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson And Donald John Trump Are Falling

    Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson And Donald John Trump Are Falling
    Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson And Donald John Trump Are Failing

    The leaders of the free world
    Who occupy the highest orifices
    In the United States of America
    And the United Kingdom
    Will fall due to the weight

    Of truth pushing down on them
    As they punch down upon the
    Vulnerable with their Uranium tipped
    Shells and bullshit tipped austerity
    In league with criminals and

    Murderers Johnson and Trump
    51st state tag team gropers
    Lies skating doubles champions
    Top footbullshit goal scorers
    Track and field and destroy stars

    Wearing lies and deceit on their sleeve
    Racism on their foreheads
    English American German Russian
    What is nationality to a global terrorist?
    Both top of their first division division division

    I salute those who stand up and speak truth
    To madman Boris de Pfeffel and Dog Trump
    A twenty-four seven three sixty-five fifty-one state
    Meditation to not become like them
    Do not lose your centre fighting a hot fudge Sunday

    Watch them trip and fall into the swamp they made
    Fall off the walls they made (Humpty de Pfeffel Trumpty)
    Celebrate journalism now! by
    Fact checking your news and watching F For Fake
    Peace comes of communication
    May warmongers choke on their own entropy

    Boris and Donald are falling
    Boris and Donald are failing
    Boris and Donald are falling
    Boris and Donald are failing

    Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson And Donald John Trump Are Falling
    Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson And Donald John Trump Are Failing

    Repeat Infinitum…

  • Happy Solstice (First Thought Best Thought)

    Happy Solstice (First Thought Best Thought)

    Tether up, weather up, hold the light
    Energy burst, do it all again, haters cursed
    Come together by day by night
    Roots tied to truth to lies surprise yer’ flies kryptonite
    Differences put aside for a few, I slide askew
    The bond of humans true, solid branches
    In solidarity, easy moon love mansions
    Smile, be nice, say hi, lend a hand
    Easy, take it nicely, voice it Monday
    Turn the other cheek for a mile

    Just until the holiday is over come
    Have respect for the Jesus, for the Santa fans
    The children, for their sakes, play nice
    Keep down the arguments, hold off reality
    Wait and see what comes next year
    Practice tolerance for other belief systems
    No matter how brief, no mutter ow’ stupid
    Hold on a minute, don’t jump, don’t

    Go on with it, wait, just wait
    Hold it now, I’m signing off, just a tick
    Sorry, I was late but it’s the holiday mate
    We should all understand things are different
    Today, a holiday day so hold your horses, take pauses
    Take it easy, relax, at home with the fam’ hey hey
    With global TV news and global entertainment
    With Netflix, Youtube, cable all this, man. Cave. Hellven?

    Me in this silence, just nodding over saying yes yes
    Happy joy joy merry merry happy…all smiles
    I’ll keep my mouth shut and listen
    To the pine needles dropping on the wooden floor
    This solstice I give in, I surrender protest and anger
    Instead join arms and sing ole’ lasagna
    How lucky we are to have this life thing, Ping!
    Let us use it and cherish each hour
    And lift up the great ball of light and throw it
    Into tomorrow

    Make sweet mix with sour, stand up, don’t cower
    Into darkness, ignite the core again, flaming
    Toward the light like a moth go
    Toward spring and summer again flow
    Together, all playing nice
    I wish you happy Solstice.

    Don’t take crap from anybody.

    Lil’ Monster Robbers.

    …looking for clues in the digital ash
    and piles of dust
    our stuff!

    annihilation in the Brexitrump fires
    i fly backdraft through a series of
    disasters, or robberies
    this is my victim report

    first, robbed by the creepy technology
    the cameras and hidden microphones
    the advanced surveillance equipment,
    that robbed us of what remained of our
    privacy, and made it publicity
