Monday night meat-market

This is life.
This is living.

Moist your lips,
warm-up your tongue,
let the music
all the way in.
All The Small Things.
Almost essential.

Human contact,
your arm brushes hers
(brushes theirs?)
Do you feel that?
Feel that warmth,
that closeness,
to another person,
just for a minute.

Do you see her?
The way she dances?
Look at those tits.
Go on over
kiss her now
fuck her later
What's her name?
Doesn't matter.

Closing time.
The dancefloor empties
can you see her?
She wandered off before.
Well, what's she look like?
Can't remember.

This is your life.
That you're living.

I'm a Fucking Poet

DVD boxsets
and books stacked high,
clothes drip drying
while others pile dirty,
the couch last seen
some time in June.

Empty bru bottles
and unclean dishes,
crumbs from bread and cakes
and God knows what else.
Empty chocolate wrappers
and scribbled down stanzas.

Soaking wet hair
and ratty old jeans,
cheap yellow pen and
ripped notebook pages.
Empty co-codamol packs
and slightly gay hairbands.

Sitting in the carnage
comfortable in its
"blatent imagery"
instead of cleaning,
he sits and writes
to show he is an artiste dah-ling.

Enjoy destroy

Enjoy destroy
take a bat to it.
The thoughts you killed
these past few years rot
and return, to
fester a little
more and burn
again, like you want.

Enjoy destroy
you chose this after
all. Happiness
was too close and you
can't allow
that in. Misery:
a life choice that
must be adhered to.

Enjoy destroy
this viscious cycle
tightly hold on
to absolutely
nothing, convinced
it is important.
Enjoy destroy
the rest of your life.
