Feared and flapping

In the city
A snow angel
In search of the first

Stricken, Unraveled, Still

Meanwhile, keel down among spacewalking
whales, the gun-toting crew protects astronauts.
Saturday’s ordeal killed our principal, the Ocean.

To hijack speed and power, trick Earth's substorms.
Just brandish abandoned satellites and rockets.
Yesterday, the single latitudes worked.

Holy Canary! The fire doused physics.
It’ll be one sad stopover.
Coffee and carcasses. Cake.

Contaminated Friendly Latrine

Peter Pan thrown inward, outward--hails of friendly fire
Nut borne bacteria killed bravery
shot it hopping a fence, contaminated.

It rose in the west, salmonella stung eyes
Snubbed the royal revellers
Sniped Victoria and forgot our hero.

Danced in the Sherbert Mardis Gras
Infected the comrades
Showered and slipped down the latrine.

Life Jars Baby

Pinpoint any amount of whitefish
through cracks in the rock:
Streams, lakes, rain contain the germ.

Salmonella sandwiches people
surrounded by jelly:
Better behaved children suspect Peter Pan.

Smuckers taken by a powerful camera
revealed pregnant life, doctors have warned:
Butter women who do not eat.

Evolving Better Innovation

After a series of flip-flop battles
an intelligent designer has devised
a way to triple the amount of memory.

The pendulum has once again swung
back on the educational menu.
Most of the static random nasal spray

is typically stored on a live chip and
stimulates debate in the blood and nose.
God would help unclog crippling bottlenecks.

Rainbow colour communication in bright flashes,
Clean up, disorientate, victims of dollars and scandal,
Revealed in light, despite magical devise.

Million bright flashes, claim vomiting headaches,
Toxic apple, aloof and frightened,
Tens of thousands capturing light inactive.

Flapping forwards, rapid bending,
Forbids future and all its forms
You can only see backwards.

Anti-War Talks Bombs

21,500 pools of blood.
Tigris River. 2 AM. A late-night heart negotiation
shattered. 78 living mannequins blackened by

Crowded governments lost marathon killing. House
Democrats rolled parked cars, turned will, encouraged

Unreal Astronaut Ban

iPod oblivion has gotten people killed:
electronic pedestrians on the streets,
robotic arms and plows gone wrong,

iPod oblivion has led to chain-reaction crashes,
detachment from real communities,
folks unaware of a world beyond.

iPod oblivion has led to slick white stuff,
leads to love triangles on the drive,
kind of effective before the break up.

Last Country Remarks

"I want to get a shotgun, abduct a woman,
Put all of my parking tickets on my mum's card,
And rob a bank like they do in England," she said.

"Apparently there is still a sense of inclusion lingering
Among drug dealers and prostitutes and cops everywhere
But I'm sure we can put it to bed," authorities said.

I just smiled to myself in the rarefied air
And said "I love like a romantic shit. Here's my book.
I thought you might like to read it."

Some Triumphant Appearance

Sparkling in sequins, plumes and diamonds
The talismanic children remain sharp
After an absence that bordered on torture

In a typical display of arrogant skilfulness
Bill Python is especially chilling:
The unhappy and bloodied "free world survivor"

It's the miracle boys of The New World Order
With a gloriously funny crudity of expression
Yoked to a secret political position. Hmm.
