Starting Windows

STARTING WINDOWS

Birthday cake collapses from the end.
Compatibility rating is positive,
emotional and finds your point.
Your blind date turns out any problems you have.
You call to determine if you should follow
a group of hells angels on the mouse
whilst pointing at the tired cock.
The door tries to run FULL SCREEN.
For your convenience, take the city.
Your pet rock snaps at the pavement.
You go up and perhaps it fits better.
Electric music from the masochist
constructs a full authority
to make sure that you wish for signs
and then Bell created the end of controversy;
there is mixed response.
But I will find the icon.
Make sure you close the rules
and the requirement to separate the past
from the Windows is given you
if you want this document on the CPU.
You should conform to enhance publicity.
They know the hearth-rug,
while others the partitions of the off
to afford publicity a fifth interrupt.
I can't support you with the pudding pan.
Whither dost thou wander?
Please to see prime mainframe architecture
in that the sun was a micro soon stopped
by his wife who can say his crown
beats the competent authorities
relating to the issues such as sport,
and CANNOT POSSIBLY wait
until the program responds.
You wish you could find
my design of Christmas pie,
else fuller details of biscuits,
which leads he fears to endless meetings.

The Woman

THE WOMAN

She is the artist's model
hers the face, legs, breasts, arms,
curves hugging his canvas;
hues of red and blue and yellow -
three colours creating shades
as many as her moods.

She is the artist's lover
so long as his art remains
galleried in the garage,
she the provider
of inspiration and food
from her wages at the factory.

She is the artist's envoy
taking his art into the world,
dealing with dealers
putting her faith to the test
promoting a first viewing
upping the price in the public's eye.

She is the artist's history
when he forsakes her
for the glamour of the acclaim
to which she has led him
powerless to destroy the art
to which part of her belongs.

She is everybody's now
hung on walls around the world
her image peddled on postcards,
not flesh - just dried pigments
breathing the artist's life
while she remains alone, unknown.

Memoirs of Maastricht

MEMOIRS OF MAASTRICHT

This declaration shall not affect the original treaty
Establishing the seat of the war knitters.
It shall be concluded between the public's confidence
In all Allies under the purposes
Of the bad conditions the war fuelled.

ARTICLE 95 and other serious forms of languages.
The Commission shall recommend Christmas be a period free
From frosty mist - on an international scale.

The union shall adopt whatever may keep coming our way
And others can be agreed in the party but there is no magic.
Horror will come to rest.
The Member States take their own initiative regarding
Provisions relating to the news team waiting for you.

DECLARATION ON CO-OPERATION IN THE QUILT TO ENJOY GUILT
Forget your memo: At the exchange of the boss making love
To get an international business machine,
It shall consult one who walks up Europe-wide
Preventing the analogous odd couple of their administrations.

Declaration on a new reproductive intercourse.
Protocol on some contemporary writers I've mentioned makes it
Proper but different from arrows aimed at the history
Of lesbian assimilation of currency and duly taken by the
European Community to be republished as the rights activism.

MOUTH RAPE

relax your lips
fighting to retain
my sanity
as hard metal
probes my insides
water pouring
into cavities
unable to scream
my tongue
desperate
to escape
i grip the sides
of the couch
think of naked
receptionists
relax your lips
open wider
i try
not to resist
to hold back

handing me

Writing the Cheque

WRITING THE CHEQUE

Loneliness is a biro pen and no paper.
The power belongs to me and a guy from COMMUNITY:
I wrote back but there appeared no escape.
I borrowed another drink. Anyway, he was marooned.
The big cheese plant got its annual wash -
It looks far better for a lovely brush.
It's ridiculous to speculate.
From the national central banks came the shouts
of their salaries, pensions and the European System.
We filled in the wall in a metro-van
chasing an equivalent claim under cars
in accordance with an open market economy in treacle
and national central banks shall have the garage.
In view of the hectic routine, the bank notes,
the FINE ARTS SOCIETY is chasing
in despair from Doncaster and mobile tea-shops.
We go to Byres Rd TESCO; children are playing.
We get hamburgers - an efficient allocation of food.
We couldn't win at half past nine,
on the required minimum reserves
on accounts with piranhas scrambling.
Louise comes up but I can't say
I'm feeling turned on by chapter 8 of the treaty.
The Golden Virginia Tobacco competition results
are published tomorrow
but I am still full of loneliness.
Subject to visiting neighbours' houses and bodies,
the carpenter curls within a mile
of those claiming under the ninth floor.
Let me introduce you.
It's something that to date initiated legal proceedings
against bodies that support the thaw on northern hills,
forsaking the Governing Council,
supporting the journey's pointlessness.
Visitors go to town on the council,
in the smooth conduct of a letter.
Returning for my last advert in the impression
that matters will be resolved today.
Ah well, in the morning perhaps.
We go to town on a proposal from Doncaster
and shall act by jove - fill in 'destiny' -
my birthday going nowhere fast.
The worst of money - a bounced cheque.

RESOLVED to a single institutional framework,
by parallel progress in the bad:
this function allows you to restart the moon.

RESOLVED to restart the war pretty good
in the Netherlands, but nothing was working.
The guard watched him eat the chocolate cake.

DESIRING to create firm bases for some lime.
So mud sinks and before me
the grass does not grow stagnant.

RESOLVED to her sultry lips on payment systems;
a knitter dares take her on lazy afternoons;
something mysterious is annexed
to the PROTOCOL on a dog's bark.

Conference agrees that it is surely
an accidental coincidence.
Meeting in the back,
a DECLARATION on her wits is sung.

Then you being unrealistic,

Dangle Dangler

DANGLE DANGLER

He parks empty liquor bottles and his back
on a period chair
made for those who are pregnant,
falling short of the high standards of plastic chairs.
You could never have shoplifted from your old enemy;
who is skilled in long intervals between smackings.
You don't enjoy paying income tax.
When you went out leaving the phone off,
they took and used your voice.
Now you are stuck with a teenage werewolf
who has an enlarged gland and sings.
The dogs could have made love there
but for the dangled angler -
Eh! He dies rich!
In York, you shield yourself
before going through with the witch's cat -
GARLAND LEGEND:
several days without bras
or later just my love.

In The Spirit

IN THE SPIRIT

all writers know that
to conform to the spirit
is appropriate

represented here
because they become confused
they are breaking them

it's stimulating
writers find themselves perplexed
when not wearing bras

know the impact of
his unwholesome giggle can
truly understand

the naive led to
nowhere and related forms
are condemned to sneer

if everything worked
the sea and poetic forms
are not monuments

in the painted steel
you ignored all my warnings
wanted Mona Lisa

I WON'T BE CALLED WORDS
poetic forms are given you
for broadcasting here

the vanishing point
writing that it is data
stimulating her

work which happens to
a position of the page
is like flattery

the discarding of
the picture on the north shore
pretends to writing

poetic message
in THE ART OF POETRY
is irrational

poetic margins
constantly loom to fly
however boiling

dearly beloved
submit poems but never a
position of bread

she said it should be
mutual recreation
of the marginal

all eager for such
writers in the form they can
easily be grand

Joyce's writing and
past glories of ignorance
form a bitter tear

creating impact
in critical decorum
it is not a rock

moving ignorance
in three lines don't establish
aesthetic appeal

with writers of strength
not one listens to used metre
to hell with the words

Portrait of a Night Spent at the Back of the Rainbow

PORTRAIT OF A NIGHT SPENT AT THE BACK OF THE RAINBOW

Your twin sister forgot your memo, but no-one speaks now.
Orgasm is a little old daylight:
You wake up feeling amorous
And understand people are waiting for him to sleep.
If I were challenged in a headache
Your boss would tell you there were ways out.
When teaching you really think of the bedroom.
Ask your ex-wife or your son for some proper elaboration? -
No, you could get the cleaning lady.
You object violently to the news they tell anyone.
I want you to want peace but you are all uncertain -
Face down inside other holes.
The cat is flunking high school
Because you're expecting your birthday.
You inside you do everything you don't enjoy.
Guilt is about keeping the sign that says - not now.
You all day at the patio and stripping off
You call Suicide Prevention and you're sitting
In a waterbed broken and totally irresistible.
Your ex-wife and your boss can tell you like the bedroom.
You wake up at the Endangered Species Club.
He sneaks out of your waterbed and I almost get caught.
Guilt is tossing a wife you really want in the rest room.
Suddenly she just screws the party that came
To fix your background and you're not married to your kid
But have just got to eat when initiation rites commence.
HOW YOU NEED A MOTHER
You wake up feeling amorous and say
You're expecting your TV cable repairman to analyse you.
Your boss tells you I am there waiting for him.
He wishes Anita would mind her twin.
Your friend is the fellow who parked his wife
And woke up wondering if it came down at night,
Then realised that I never left the movie theatre.
I'll keep your girlfriend knocking at the bathroom
When we do everything we do;
It is easy for her to look for the tiger.
Your wife wakes up feeling amorous
And you're too embarrassed to go home.

The Fossil Hunters

THE FOSSIL HUNTERS

Where whales without choice
have offtimes beached
still the sea cuts a deeper chine.
Eager hunters battle against the clifftop wind,
descend the dangerous steps.
Charging along the sands
they turn over pebbles,
attack the rocks,
dig up and out
fossils hidden for hundreds of years.
Plastic bags break
under the weight of the booty.
Hauled back to parked cars,
these ancient reminders of the Flood
will be polished into ornaments,
kept as holiday keepsakes,
or dumped, forgotten again
in some suburban garden.
