Powers Amid Candy

Victory,
most anticipated,
was going to be incredible.

League Candy,
chased close, hounded, grazed-yes;
proves claims it will inspire people.

San Prophet!
Dance, Phoenix Hollywood!
Slide-rim the Stars! Viva League Candy!

Serious Conduct Question

The victim admitted drinking spirits, Reuters said,
but denied she had agreed to sex; the court
dismissed the sailor in all disgrace.

And Tsvangirai's fractured skull and tortured face,
and those of other activists are said
to have prompted condemnation, and chaos in court.

Viewers, we sense the question is so complicated;
can we, in no danger, afford to use our yesterday
and riddle humour into what the Telegraph said?

Mouth to Mouth

Obscene gestures, actual stars,
a gesture toward the grandstands.
There was a buzz in the air.

The potential clash of egos
after experiencing dizziness
surged through the crowd.

Maybe it was hip-hop,
maybe it was dehydration.
Whatever. Confusing moments.

Dark Rebel Sparks

        Circling for an hour
after earlier approach

        with faith and guidance
always communicating,
        constantly hoping,

        rebel leaders swirled
over Westminster, poised for
        expected revolt.

Another Longtime Election

Let's have elections in 2008!
He will stand another term
whichever way they desire.

Who will succeed him? The heir
is undecided, the question unanswered,
the voters moved and emotive.

Two men will deliver speeches
on party and policy and tax.
Let's take the agenda in hand.

The Two Messages

He puts his arm round me and says
We built a very strong relationship
Of red and blue lives basking together

And when we are presented with loss
Images of sunshine leave a mark
We are frustrated and have to live with it

But what a difference the drugs are making
Flashing images to the better other brain
In the Italian night off the coast of sleep

Cut-Off Noir Simulacrum

The philosopher of the hyperreal a grand hype
apartment with 50 television sets and pictures of America
even if Baudrillard had not existed

it would have been necessary to invent him
everything was a non-event, an illusion, a simulacrum
part of his legend to loathe all forms of culture

stark noir fantasy world
the colours more radically concentrated
advancing towards the storm-battered coast

--Clark Allison

Injuries And Chocolate

                --"Use the Force!"

He called me a brute, I remember,
after twice trying to fit handcuffs
around handfuls of my genitals.

I think I did him some injury;
he is putting a spell on my groin.
Now I will have a miserable time

of personal pain and depression.
I have accepted that, and will need
to relieve myself with Maltesers.

Leaping Accident Investigators

An astronaut's lover burst into flames
after a few anger management classes
and is now wearing a tracking device.

She veered off the runway and crashed
out of New York warehouse emergency exits,
reportedly threw a phone at management.

Asked about the 'crazy lady', her maid
she is going to have to modify her outfit,
mop floors and perhaps sweep them too.

look at the whites of their eyes and talk vision
what a rock and how out of control recently
