Easy Money
Starting easily
Like the dazzle of a shell bursting
For engagement,
A moment visible But travelling in echo.
Message ready to unleash hell,
At the brain controlling,
A sum alien.Each sense the miracle of atom and particle As models tremble,
Modulated but deadly,
As a switch to voices of “incoming”
How friendly With noise intimate. With something personal —
A cup to drink from.
That the loving person
Who likes somebody
That likes something
Is perfect.
Intoxicated, a symmetry.Every word explosive —
The lack of reason
For what we are about to receive
Making us truly thankful.
At nil,
Our understanding.
The lights in the crater not ours,
Everything emptied.So I began to go beyond going to thelimit.
Observation
I shall bring you now by muted mouth
To sacred text
Naked and extinguished.
I shall bring you now
Either
To the end of time
Or new summit.
I shall bring you now
To entertainment.
To boys
Who take you up and
down
And around again
In simulation
Until the music breaks.
I shall take you now
Into a sea of ruin
Where chaos
Is computer-driven
And the cancer
Has every tongue still
I shall bring you now
To neither good nor evil
But observation.
Holland Park
Where Bayswater forms a meadow
And some of the smarter people
Are trapped in wealthier ghetto,
I lie awake in prison.
A peacock in the smarter mezzanine,
With lusty wobble, I exercise daily
To see my sentence double: A lifer in this grotto.
Mykindatown
Blessings on Monaco
And all its palaces —
Particularly the one I live in
Covered in bougainvillea.
Or the yacht I forgot to mention
Abacus 1,2,3.
Or a matter not unconnected, The boiling of the sea.
