SOME TIME SOON

Excruciatingly slow
time drags like my 32inch trouser legs
the overhang soaking up

mop away the sweat
clear your throat
as it all plods along.
The cars go nowhere
yet we all aim to go in the same direction

Excruciatingly slow
some us get lucky
by stopping the clocks.

Most of us won't
lets hope we get terrified.
Some time soon

SVEN SPORT

It ain't easy
to look gaunt with a shit degree.
Trying in vain to snort past glories through a McDonalds straw
on the dashboard of a crimson Fiesta

they purchased my eyes
with stolen money
found underneath a monopoly board

hopes passed out naked by the bathtub
inside of it my father soaks
wishing he was somewhere else

here we are
in the light.
Disposable bulbs
hooked on advice given by painted colours

VNV

I suppose I could see you tonight
purple hair
drawn on stigmata.
Your trenchcoat flapping behind you
like Turpin's cape.

You made me realize that nothing can be treated
with Ritalin.
Stick with me on this
pay attention

Vaseline bible
smoke me a satellite
pick me up
drive me home
ram your tongue down my throat

LENORE

Disgust is contagious
particularly when it comes up from the floor
to smack you in the mouth.

Knocking you sideways
into a mist of cheap perfume
perpetually slouched against the bar
soaking up the atmosphere

Chaotic lights
these city nights fly by
as the sand falls through our fingers
down to the floor
