The nicked sandwich rose

The nicked sandwich waited

Reduced itself to a

Stretch in Holloway

Barcoded for platform 

Cold cuts on Wednesdays

Attention equal and opposite

To the steak bake debate

It lay prostrate

The train came

And I stood on it

By mistake

Storming Norman Fireside

Here's the birch, here's the

sequel, treacle, I'll walk you

through it. You can stick

your man of the people act

up it, puppet and fuck off

while you do it, gleeful.

Father of 'Insurance claim' Guardian columnist and trainee vicar's request to an ex-tennis player's CND sculpture at an arte povera show to intervene in a performance art piece because the artist in question has an injured hand. 

Passing past-it Pistol Pete's 'peace peas peak' piece, "please pause Pauper Paul's poor paws, performing pee-pee piece", pleas PIP pre-priest Pete Paphide's pastor papa.

Up the sunshine grows

As cattle get back to their

Comics round the buzz 

Got round back combed the sound to

Be outstanding in the field

Jealot gets out of

His troll box leans 'gainst comfort

Plastic bar culture

Pot called the back seat kidda

Modern Pub Tanka

Alright patience don't 

Try before you buy pub's ain't

Wine shops I dig the

Drop's lost I've glasses too but

Like your head chat mine's empty

The Commuter Suit with Trainers Tanka

She swung the morning  Banana skin as handbag Julie Christie film With Bernard Herrmann songs 'cept With regret the shoes' all wrong

Life Drawing Double Tanka

See and seize are fine

Applied by flick or stroke or

Finishing polish

To the chicken mesh net of

Artistic moment success

Not the studied mess

Of mind over under stud

Under garm under

Duress possession stress per

Formed cast upon strangers' flesh

Misty Tanka

She laughed like the drain

That blocked her ideas charcoal

Square behind yellow

Lined consequences actions

Of the eye she caught the train

Bus Weight Tanka

Andy bellows off
The faux stone fronts the weather
Spoons piss down driven
Highways the homeless try to
Signwrite and keep the ink dry

2020 Visionary

The Boys on the corner
Are pimping the doubt
'Cos they solicit ev'ry looker
With some trim and some clout

A Tale from up the Heath

She took to the hills

Like a Flemish diagonalist, 

A lime green bird in oak, 

Skittler of the ominous log, 

Off-line swerver of the

Travelers' caravanpment, 

With a severe case of clout. 

The pointer pissed, 

Then chased an absolute. 

She shotgunned under the

Right angle tree clearing,

To show what we know, 

Couldn't half kick a ball though,

In the light going out.

Modern Coffee Tanka

Two potties unused

Animal Reiki book school

Bitter coffee not

Sweet the price up yours puppet

And fuck off with your hair like

Tanka up the Roman Road

Prank of the burger

Sauce loader nips the fade of

Light the Roman Road

The Old George straws' turtley

Freindly mixed the hipster-lite

2 Pints of Retribute and a Packet of Myths Please

There's a dent in
The bigdaft pub on the end
1 of those scarvesoff boozers

He Anglicised
His angereyes on the bend
2 of murdermayhem soon as

The crow goes
The backmarch bit back
3 times overstruck themoon as

It's postunder
The pooltable hit crack
4 force memory floors the loser

Hamming it up a St. John's Tanka

Hamming it up St.
John's tavern eight round eight and
Plastic teeth don't fit
Crisp bread rapido and I
Berico the Archway fit

Tract 827

One way sect is asking what

From the onset a

Mericana drama why

The horse long-faced nicely shot

The Skrike

The confort buzz of the oven 

The pebble shape of 

The earplug trying to find

The floor he found the floor

The glasses the noisy bastards 

The noise the sign the skrike

The sign he drew he cannot see
Assumes it says

Welcome to my life
