		<description> Sunlight slices the blind, my forehead, 

the anonymity prescribed

by ten thousand variations on a theme;

as a rule, nothing changes

into something less formal.

Mother's cellulite phone vibrates

in concert with a dirge

of chemo-dancers waiting on their wings.



First light nerves shredded,

crushpacked in a box marked

&quot;Pulp Fiction&quot; -- I shake my head.

A coherent thought escapes,

shooting aspersions, denying complicity

until the trial goes cold.

A gravid future kicks me, 

prematurely, into action.



In a fit of coffee, I reject

Bukowski in favour of painkillers,

the lesser of two clichés

delivering me from evaluation

as self rediscovers consciousness.

I throw up. The bowl reflects

my demeanour; ill-prepared

to face the rigor of a new day.  ... more  </description>

		<description>  something was amiss...

eyes open
for the business
of pleasure as usual

familiar furnishings and decor
a crowd of acquaintances
dressed in best behaviour
interacting as one would expect
lips at work while music played

words delivered in correct order
gestures and expressions produced
in appropriate manner
reciprocated accordingly

it seemed that everything
was in its proper place
a flawless function - and yet

an essential something was missing

I was not present
and in my absence
I failed to see
what was not there </description>

		<title>aural mood - the poet laura ate</title>

		<description>  It's abuse a muse week for this freak on a leash
as she seeks out a niche  as the queen of pastiche
Time to stock up on clichéd, derivative  stuff
hide it all up her sleeve, write it out off the cuff
take each verse  as it comes, living stanza to stanza
and practice each impromptu  extravaganza
until she's perfected the regurgitation
of recycled  on-demand improvisation.  Now my poetic licence is up for  renewal
competition is hot - well that's cool, but I'm not
and I'm sick of  the sight of this stale, typecast voice
so I guess re-invention's the obvious  choice...
I need a new pseudonymph, something ornate
with a limelight  persona to give my words weight
when the picture is pretty, but the artist is  lame
from the struggle to flesh out her skeletal frame.

I could kill  for the thrill of that mythical ichor 
a body of work that a poet would die  for
sustained by arterial legerdemain 
turning vainly inane into vintage  arcane,
or a strawberry bland who can fluff all my lines
maybe wrap them  in velvet and tie them with vines
for a package delivering lyrical  powers
full of love-lies-a-bleeding heart poesies of flowers.

Yet, in  lifting the gloom from this doom-laden phase
I am caught in the throes of a  creeping malaise.
Do I savour the prospect of instant success?
Will my  avatrice sate the demands of the press?
As the hunger intensifies to its  extreme
self-restraint gets the munchies and swallows the dream...
so I  guess when I wake I'll be mourning the fate
of some fantasy poet that laura  just ate.  ... more  </description>

		<description>  Vanity plucks
the most fragrant
and perfectly formed rose,
holds it to her face and blushes,
in the expectation
that it will be inspired
to bleed poetry. </description>
