Observing

Entertaining

No time for fools

Tanned
Leaf
Wrapped
Cuban
Skin
Around

******
Bones
Passed
Down

Afforded
Effort
Exhaled
With style

Clasped
Wooden
Boxes
Tobacco
Emptied

Filled
With
Metal
Ribbons
Tied
Around

******
Bones
Passed
Down

Mother-in-law’s
Tongue
Swells
On
Receipt
Of you

Forbidden

I hold
I light

Forbidden

I pass
To you

Forbidden
We inhale

Digested
Too
Much

Full up
With
Yesterday
Spilling
Over into
Today
Decades
Past
Creeping
Into
Tomorrow

A feast
Of
Over
Indulgence
Irrelevant
No
Different
To any
Other

Head
Fit to
Burst
Internally
Vomits

Haemorrhage
Floods
Flows  
Down
Arms
To  
Fingertips

Causing
Splash backs
Of tears
*****
Laughs
And
Occasional
Giggles

Fingers
Are
Wiped
On the
Back of
The head

Thank ****
There is
No more
Left

Head
Disagrees
Churns
And
Starts to
Digest
The rest

Hard
Cold
And
Plastic

It
Satisfies

So do
Tears
Behind
Eyes

Pleasure
Crashes
Like
A
Wave

Mixed
With
An
Oil
Slick

Tears
Migrate

Resting
Waiting
In
Lobe
Peicered
Holes

Replacing
Diamonds
Sold

In the
Recovery
Position
Placed

For a
Life of
Cubic
Zirconia

Tears
Hard  

Solid
Cold

Plastic
Waves

I fear

I caught
The fear
In your eye
Around the
Corner
It was trying
To hide

Too late
Too fast
Wearing A
Mask
But I saw
A glimpse
In your eye

Of what to expect
I don’t know
Yet

And as your
Eyes go wide
I’m closing my
Eyes
As to
What may
Happen next

For all the children who do not get a say…   if this piece disturbs (which is my intention as is the majority of my scribbles) pop a few extra pennies into the NSPCC or Save the Children ***


In
Out
Remain
Or
Stay

Bend over look away

What do you know?
How would you vote?
Vote for me?
Look away

Mouth
Opened
Filled
With
Dumb
Blindfolded
Eyes

Silently
I’ll
strum
‘Stay’
‘Go’

You’ll
Never
Know

Now
Bend over
I’m
Casting
Your vote
Without
Your say

You have to stay

Bend over
And look away

You pointed the
Camera
You could
Have picked
Him up

Not only did
You shoot
You had to look

A message
To be sent
To those
Who are
Not listening

So, you had
To shoot
Before
Picking him up


I hope…….
