bio note
or
the via negativa made new every day
at my greatest extent
I was an empire
inter galactic
there wasn't the fish to translate me
I didn't have to go anywhere
tribute was brought
some plantinum asteroid
would have parked overnight
you couldn't help finding Planet X
then and of course lay claim
with prominent teat when roused
so rub
you just wished
then nothing to it
any star might fall
spring moist aflame
and all in bud
all would eventually
we had time in those days
careless with showers
shone with the sun
I was reading the daily entrails
actually I was a plume
don't worry
there was one of me
in every packet of cornflakes
you could stretch the thing out
any direction
they were all into it then
once I was erupting
pall of me
and what a bellow!
all trumpet and rear
laid dinosaur eggs
chased skirt
and I hatched out
delight of flight
rose
from ashes and dust
and so come again
you could burn just trying to get around me
everyone would nod then
all as of a mind
triumphal arches, keys to the shop
drum marches in the glory days
and they'd carry my image across
sturdy, determined
all policy, grave -
everyone knew where they were going
some fife and they followed
all into the mountain
and then I wore no clothes
they'd lick me all over
at sayso - the dogs
so see this little sheep's face - dumb
prise open the eyes of the fish
you could all join in - a must
that was me just fishing
but isn't just the facts catch up
or even just a quiet ponder
?
cicada clung
wise to a saw
like afternoon all summer
that's when I'm writing it now
and what have I done recently?
wild animals in the house
mainly I'm where you won't see of late
how I drift like a cloud all the day
