Choka On It
bedsit Rise up - gather your weapons
Hamlet is ready
bedsit Ophelia is pickling
two witchety grubs
bedsit glossy green bottles and jars -
their watery fate
Frank Zappai searching for pirate treasure
Davy Jones' locker
Frank Zappai "he filled and kicked the bucket"
-Justice Scalia
suttonhoo sky flickering fluorescent
quick white lightening strikes
Frank Zappai lungs congesting putrescent
thanks to Lucky Strikes
tradgy Mediterranean shoes
On deck step softly
tradgy The deep sea's complicit, and
cigarette buts float
tradgy face down; small wasted bodies
crowding the ocean
canadia234@hotmail.com --the ignorant Sasquatches
crowding the ocean
tradgy chanting in butterfly stroke
- fish damply waking
canadia234@hotmail.com waking out of a river,
creek all the same
canadia234@hotmail.com a ferry leaps out water
prances the surface
Frank Zappai Sugarplum Fairy leaps out
prances on the stage
bedsit Pantomime damsels beware
of marshmallow spells
bedsit Beware of fool's gold and lamps
without light, without ...
traji ... germ warfare analysis.
To sicken is worse.
suttonhoo black peppercorns scatter like
scree on a hillside
awgeez In dependent's days, we're there,
Watching out for them.
awgeez In dependence, days are safe,
All's provided for.
awgeez Independence days come fast.
Soon, they're on their own.
awgeez Independence Days, they're here.
Rejoined family.
and then The Eiffel Tower in blue
wipes the blue away
bedsit Parisian sunset's a
shocking pink xray
bedsit Bitter espresso, croissant,
In cold brasseries.
bedsit Warm spun silkscreens realise that
slender threads set fast
traji Shop girls march on the streets, but
quickly arrested
traji Shop girls march in the streets, their
banners broken ... burned
Anon Bread crumbs - pecked clean from hungry
roads. Shameful birds bow.
Frank Zappai in Depends days not soggy
urine free country
Anon Eclipse of black buttons, black
wheels, splashing puddles.
bedsit Gorged on saki and fruit cake
she commenced sewing
