Doing Road

Eats road like Cormac McCarthy’s shredder, goes like a V2

My arrival causes stress, like an imminent #metoo

More options than two twenty sided dice

More waiting holes than household fulla mice

Veto over your life, a Don, only bam from my acme mallet

Junkie viking funeral on a Tesco palette

Screeching halt, landing hard like a crit hit

Stirred dusts sit. Step out in retro fits 

Lock up over shoulder, sports ting kit

Billed spliff lets me retrofit, refitting my shit with every hit

Mental gym rat, ride a pommel horse til it shits

Rocking horse full of Greeks, with every forward surge an oil thirsty creak

Creeping around new love, ghosts of dead lovers 

Alone with a candle, yet I sense others

Mirror in a dark room, phone torch the only light

Eyes rolling like slot pictures

Curling smoke I almost choke 

High as Ezekiel’s odometer, Babel tip, Abraj chronometer

Inside a kitchen cupboard psychomanteum, uncrackable sigils unseen in the dark

Pulling forth unlikelihoods, 

Byzantium from Byzas, empire from a goat

Beginning from a word, universe from a throat

Lights grow, dim image of a red chrysanthemum

Dizzying kaleidoscopic byzantium
