SHOULD YOU
free spirit
free ranging
you juggled jiggled yourself
into a special space
eye of the needle
and yes
there untold riches
should you
break with conformity
shatter
convention
and yet
squeeze through

DALEK
inside every
Dalek
there is a beautiful creature
both male
and female
you just have to
do
some rewiring
tweak
the binary code




GASHED
a butterfly
flapping its wings
can tip
the scales
in a chaos dynamic
as can
as many bombs and shells
fired and dropped
onto an area
the size of a postage stamp
as dropped on Laos, Cambodia
and Vietnam entirely
to save humanity
from itself
lucky
we have
the power of
these skygods
to look out for us
this
the most angelic
of all butterfly effects
GOODFELLOW
that juice
that misguides
messing with
the truth that is youth
in its
absolute
love
slurring word sounds to
fit that
shifty, narcotic
sex-dream picture
Oh
I do not hear
what I hear
do not see
what I see
my brute body far more
beast that it has ever been
your
fairy bower so
exquisitely
kindly
your words dripping with
the wonder of your
mouth, lips
parts I might
list
if I had
time to
Oh the love you have given me
too much for lifetime, enough
for one-night stand (more
might drown me)
that juice, my Queen,
so translated, brought
base to gold
great
alchemy
beyond the perfume trick
of simple chemistry
we must have bathed in
must have flowed, rolled
over our bodies
like a river
at which sight
Puck
puckered up
so
deeply impressed




GAZEBO
(the) gazebo
is a portal
can
whisk you away
transport to mainland,
ancient China
watch the Sengoku Jidai
run its course, take place
alter
the outcome if
you feel that way
and so no
war with Russia or
Pearl Harbor
no cities devastated
by nuclear fire
unless it is shipping things
across the galaxy at
faster than light speed
tickles
your fancy
like this insect-like, alien,
shapeshifting creature
its antennae so switched on
ready to receive
huge, biomechanical possibly,
perhaps even shape-shifting
pushing the boundaries
of what we
might conceive
here, outlandishly, to
communicate, negotiate,
wing
its way to our leader
dictate
surrender terms
or thrust us aeons ahead
as we crack the code
of its impossible technology
or stick you
with its stinger, run off
with genetic evidence
that others, no less curious
than our
so far limited species
might like to study
perhaps find
hard
to believe
