big inflation
new equation
maximus’ abacus
calculating abe’s exodus
from the troll farm
stagnant
not settled
fallen cherry blossom petals
chasing ratings
rotting
food for unseen vegetables
remnants bleed into brown & green
it reads:
‘this hidden site has been seized’
scattered shopping tags
tps reports
empty mags
tabs
a matter of perspective
1 for the tongue
body of christ
pliers for the 3rd eye
wage cage weasel
place to call home
(after a 30 year loan)
renegade node
indigo child mode
beneath jaded
is where jade is
+ other beautiful stones
to ignite bones
& crack chains with
or get sidetracked
& trade with
night dive
night drive
rabbits running from
or, more likely, blinded by
fluorescent strip lights
shot up with needles
strapped to desk chairs
been thinking
like
not feeling the tone of none of ya
bad vibes forever
zoom call zirconia
do you remember dreams
in between fatigue
& disassociation
bored
binge
slack-jawed netflix wh***
a circus to distract
from the war of the worlds
outside your front door
pole vault
with a severed alien leg
a revolt
against daycare for adults
against monday dread
against shrunken heads
strangled souls seep out in recreational outrage
like any of it means anything
like getting triggered…
like taking offence…
like taking sides…
like voting…
like waving flags…
like arguing about stuff online means anything at all
doped up clown
pfft
wasted days
pointless impressions on a page
scripts
bots
can’t be cleansed in alkaline fountains
deep in swiss mountains
but make good guards for nuclear grade doors
shielding offline servers in military bunkers
protecting the wealth of others
that have already won.
coming down
all..day..i..dream..about..serotonin
black phase wolf
shapeshifting truths
seesaw
temperature adventurer
an equally majestic
& pathetic
hypercolour fur suit
coming down
ambient electronic beats
lo-fi spells
a bug’s life
ant on an exoplanet
comets
crypto
flash/crash/smash
cause craters
mega avalanche
iridium
nano-diamonds
ultraviolence
coming down
do cicadas get the bends
breaking dirt
alert to the stale stench of dead trends
were oh so important
before they teleported
to a black bag
in the attic
or a supermarket charity bin
secret doors
(vega)
scaling walls
crawling skin
a nuclear exchange
a chemical game
dilated
daybreak
coming down
robin
more pain
more pain
more painful things
turn into paintings
tears wet
colour discs
on a palette
that were dried out
and crumbling
juice joins
dusty fissures
makes pigment bridges
hydrates bristles
feeds pictures
more pain
‘it’s the colouring that concerns me’
truth be told
more pain
summons rufio
lost boy
art studio
more pain
more pain
a molotov
for the person
that was
more pain
triple x pain
peter pain
cry like a cockerel
fly again
‘it’s not your fault’
when life serves unskippable ads
big sad
pull out a pad
sketch a draft
new neverland map
never doubt the fire
more pain.
honour, part 1
driving through
lotus fields
gps in japanese
real recognise real
a beautiful village
reflect
accept
consequences of actions
things that last
things that pass
things, split in half
shinto

stripped back
don’t watch face
minimal shrines
pulp scriptures
reservoir logs
et, phone home
0800-honour-code
moshi moshi
atonement stumps
words become birds
become arc’teryx
black hair
pale skin
solace in tradition
close borders to
negative
degenerate
influence
no deals with the yakuza
no deals with lucifer
just a deal with the lord
to be better
to do better
to man up.
lilo & stitch
fleeing the foreign legion
blunt force
leaking
tryna lie low
hard with no lilo
and a stomach stitch
in an infinite sandpit
sun-stained
face first, hot grains
drift away
but what’s this
an infinite money glitch
found oil
slick glints like tin foil
a flood
dead dinosaurs out the mud
there will be milkshake
there will be blood
and new net worth
will it ruin everything it touches
like social networks
would it be better to convert
to compressed carbon in the dirt
*smirks*
slate clean
like cultural insensitivities
airbrushed out of disney movies
now the stress
makes more sense
stack cream
before we become memes
“i’m finished.”
something is watching, it has to be
from space
to a crawling space
roman debt call to the face
early summer
solo search party
sun-kissed neck slit for 30 denarii
ears ringing
the pain of clinging
a memorial bench
here, time spent
common sense, sucked through an air vent
cucked
hyper head dent
…lagging
dragging
drag on
break glass, if in need of dragon
flame flatten the curve
reset the purge
let it all burn
(worthless worm)
bust cubs out the fur farm with modified firearms
break bad
break bone spurs
atmosphere entry reverb
forfeited contract
final contact
roll with the spinal blows
hope in halogen bulbs
the artificial light of ufos
dear interstellar helper
grazie
gifts of guidance and shelter
in these times of sweltering heat
off the grid
off the map
off the beat
taunted by bruxism
haunted by nightmares of relapse
mind gone
lost pre-lockdown
exacerbated by heckling sounds
an emergency broadcast
antenna bent
a hard fork crypto event
meh
girls
just wanna have fun
i
just wanna have fun too
hope we get fat
get full
before wires solder
to any of you
can’t deal with it again
to tell you the truth
getting too old
to rebound
to improve
to make a move
got hatred for humanity
like tupac in juice
like killa cam in paid in full
can’t catch feelings
can’t catch…
can’t catch mew.
wordplay #2
nah baby
get lost
ain’t got nothing
i want
call me hollow
so what
married to money
deadeyes
deadheart
deathstream
don’t support
usury
got a problem
for copies
of a copy
of a dead monarch
married to money
if i did a documentary
on you
you’d be a fly
fighting to move
stuck with other flies
on a strip of glue
screaming about the ‘truth’
while your legs pop loose
1 for the dollars
2 for my pups
everything else
middle finger up
take a running jump
married to money
interactions turned fractions
traded human places
for polymer faces
for polymer cuts
stack it up
stack it up
stuff the mattress
pack the attic
covered in cash
lost every bond i never had
securing the bag
too much to carry
amor fati
bundles of fetti
run through racks
like tracks
out your feelings
out your head
out the red
for the bread
for the bands
until death
married to money
the interpretation of dreams (aka mayday)
stone in focus
on repeat
letting go
of what might have been
chapters
paragraphs
worm paths in a cenotaph
foot soldiers
through trinkets
through trash
parisian protest bin bags
& tear gas
to the pinpricked falcon hood
can almost taste the truth
through the hole-punched roof
lightsaber in an echo chamber
the eraser
consumed
laser pen vs. balloon
aka the process
aka a story of sliced knees
aka therapy for muscular dystrophy
the ballad of entropy
run to thunder
face the tundra
make peace with transitory beauty
fall to the burning floor
raise open palms
pray for sudan
white noise in the void
throttle losses blue
bury them in a field
firebomb bridges
cut veins
two fingers up
blood as war paint
everything is fucked
aka everything is ok
watch red flow from the ego
watch plasma congeal
is there globes in haemoglobin
or game theory
or api queries
false flags turn scab shields
aka tombstones on heels
practice patience
one step at a time
one action at a time
exiled
but
everything else in front
buckshot wounds like candy runts
leaking hours
leaking months
until time is up
drone in the hex of a honeycomb
fabricate limitations
low vibration imitation of an inpatient
ai
simulation
or a demigod magic isopod
each minute
gostra on a gunship
aka no country for docile men
a coin flip
call it
“do you have any idea… how crazy you are”
come so far
from sega mega drive
lion king days
couldn’t beat scar
call it.
Helicopter Seeds/Life
Samaras
The winged seeds of maple trees
Break free
Spin down
To the floor
Past the Scarface blimp
‘THE WORLD IS YOURS’
Some become Seneca
Some sketch an exfil
With a pencil
Or alcohol
And Advil
Some spend 45 years compressed
At a desk
Spine=Slinky
Slave to the Outlook diary
Slave to the salary
Another casualty in the dead-eye gallery
Crushed by variable rate rape
Never germinate
The attrition of tradition
Turns good seeds bad
Food for mushrooms
Food for feeds
Food for zombies
Oh, pretty please, FATHER TREE
All my beautiful dreams became ‘coulda/woulda/shoulda beens’
Became WASTED! GTA5 scenes
On the Truman screen
Be that as it may
The fact remains
There are 2 universal truths for all helicopter seeds:
1: They fly
2: They fall.
