metaphysical universe
twixt the Devil & the deep blue shift
of space
time restricted only by the choice of lens
all my negative constructions make their
case
talking ten to the enth
through that opening of arc the blackness
shines
clipping overlaps of galaxies & back
via countless double takes in half a blink
toss my hat in the ring
zooming concentration camps where chickens
lay
half a billion eggs a day then catch the
melting ice
frozen sixteen hundred years ago when Mont
Blanc was swaddled by trees
smoking towers crowd the peal of
churchbells out
soundless aeons unrecorded aliens
crying wolf or whopping over looted stars
it’s the triumph of hate
or benign the universe a scientist’s
ozone friendly petridish of animal
vegetable & mineral with abstract soup
all nutritious & good
baggage control
poor invisibility
dying voices from the further room
smell of engines breaking wind
could we see like everything
from the subatomic to the stars
if it wouldn’t trouble you
like the microcosmic here
to the macroeconomic spheres
stick em on the scales to go
problem is no vessel this
side of Kingdom Come can take the lot
home without a second trip
which it said’s unlikely still
doing business human style was swell
catch you on the other side
another great twit
Adolf’s Waterloo was at Dunkirk
Dad said England finished he would know
their mob left behind at Havre walked
half across France
reaching St Nazaire they heard the troop
ship Lancastria was taking on
stragglers by the ton but the lads told
you’re for La Baule
hungry soldiers downed their rifles groaned
but that sergeant major saved them dive
bombed the old Cunarder sank with five
thousand aboard
somehow Dad got home demobbed they let
go the volunteers & he was lame
handing in his lanyard worked then signed
up with the Raf
so our line came almost to its end
had he passed the airforce medical
testing colour blind his choice of bomb
aimer was off
thankfully they gave him safer tasks
keeping Merlin engines up to scratch
aircrew casualties went through the roof
fell on his feet
lived to tell that other tale Dunkirk
infamous St Nazaire covered up
nothing won the war but British luck
German mistake
had the Expeditionary Force
not escaped there’d been no army left
picture Singapore in ’42
Hitler the twit
the Pomeranian identity
folks in rubber boats
sporting fake Armani life
belts on hopes & prayers
surf the channel white
cliffs their target fingers crossed
lest the motors cut
out no ID cards
getting native tongues around
double Dutch on wry
national costume daze
folk dunce bag popes arts & rafts
aggrocultural
when the music stops
reach for your revolving chairs
bowler hats or bust
astro noughts
artificial intel indicates
Neptune has it in for Uranus
also Mercury by turns reports
peace is declared
superficially Jupiter goes
pestering celestial repose
can’t they choose whose influence to surf
once & for all
next up sunrise gets delayed on Earth
cos of Martian budget overruns
huh as if the stiffs out there could care
less about us
meanwhile Venus hides in clouds of coy
but we know for sure their acid ways
never recommend themselves to us
treat them with gloves
apropos your moon is out again
proud & shameless watch their banners
go
like the bally army used to sing
onwards as if
extra bonus 5+1 pome
magnum cum lardy cake
Jesuit Von Nuremberg
runs a master race on two
steps no soft shoe shuffles goose
bumps in your face
leather kecked or kilted they
matchmake Muslim Orthodox
Catholic stroke Protestant
daughters & sons
like the owl Horatiian oath
Jessie operates outside
time & space while inside both
catch them on line
serving tea & buttered scones
jam with clotted cream to please
crusties fleeced in white marquees
kiddies with wands
crescent swastika or cross
matters not beware of fakes
onward God’s own Atheists
fortunes on plates
