#39 - are you getting your daily kit?






39
8.2.20
are you getting your daily kit?

we shoot the breeze
and chew the fat
and so we seize your day


it comes home delivered
or bear it about
bright backlit
all the latest
gluten free Murdoch free

dreams and the objective conditions
drafty strategies to win
political and philosophic

here’s thought from the source
and heartfelt

changes worlds off course

and no one knows where a poem goes

lost in the margins
the gutters, the notes
almost corrected away

‘a profitless waste of time’
critics decline to say

and with that rough beast slouch and swagger
lone, level for a sandy stretch

terrific trunks
plenty of puff
goes over the page
and far away
the better thing
then ever you just  

take to the treetops with this
dramatic, pastoral, parodic

up to old tricks
and making new
breathlessly about the business

leaf bright to twinkle
and far from first intended

just playing with it
line for a walk
word on a string

nothing to worry us here
only the everyday doings

back in the pages see all presaged
no less than prophecy this is

if horses then apocalyptic

corporeal whiff of
here’s weather today
for often instance
time passing as it will
with pictures never seen before
otherworldly surfaces
craft fallen from fake skies
believe me

much of the tale at a stretch
prehensile

the investigation is ongoing
and I’ll be there for you
kiss kiss

it’s upside down with world
new broom too

and late in the piece
fists up for the fray
not going gently anywhere

are you getting yours today?
