ZOMBIE READER

poetry of
dead worlds

poetry by
dead poets
for zombie readers

only so
much entropy
the soul can hold

these words here
dead as any in
even the
very best poetry
(lost
on all
but the very
best readers)

THE BASEMENT

I spent the
evening reading your
horror manuscript

which I never finished
because there was a
noise in the basement
a frantic, desperate scratching

another
of your readers
unable to escape.

PLANTED

let me just
parachute this one
into your lap
(hopefully it won’t
boomerang
back
to haunt me)

was thinking, about
to spout out, that life
seemed to me
a closed loop, a single-sided
infinitely paradoxical
Möbius strip
copying art
for all
it is worth

not that we have art, as a
practice, as a serious
life strategy
at all in
our society (if
you can call it a society)

them
shutting down the libraries
opening up
the food banks

you can get your whole
life on credit, sell
your organs back

I heard this idiot argue that
life is not media, is not
reality program

how quickly
they pulled his plug
smoothly shut him down

as our host for the evening
broke fourth wall to tell us:

television is reality, books
the dead competition,
all your ideas — none
original —
such

is our
surveillance

those that were not planted
we have heard them before

READER

no one reads me
like she does

cracks my code
like an
enigma machine

knows that
there is something
more substantial
than the words

will
survive this

a time when
the Universe will
make of the
stuff we
we were
we are

a completeness
that must come to be

ALCHEMY

you did not
deconstruct me

just reversed
my polarity

and then
did not
simply
adjust my
stereotype

but performed
the alchemy that
turned me

from human
to alien

yes, this you did,
tell me if it is not indeed so:
look into my golden eyes

COURTESY

she whispered
in the philosopher’s ear

that there is no inside
except
as metaphor

metaphor
itself
a metaphor

the whole of the Universe
standing for
wanting to
become something else

this
the wisdom of
a courtesan

no sophistry
he was welcome
to it
might consider it

a courtesy

SHINE

knew you had
taken a shine so
guzzled down
some moonlight

enough to
make you out
in the dark

discriminate between
parts legal
and parts illegal

deadends and perfect
conduit
pathway direct to
your most
human
of hearts

FLAVA

was on YouTube
watching Gordon Ramsey
preparing
food

huge imagination
infinite care
devoted to

flavour

which left me
wondering as the
dish emerged delectable

what you
had done about
your flavour

yes, really,
what indeed?

THE NASTIES ON THE BBC

The Nasties on the BBBC
Nasties on the BBC
all went
to the same
University

copied from the same
great cheatsheets

to get to
their positions of
prominence

to defend business, class
and suppress the poor

want to
bring back that
dead history

suppress the good
for sake
of power
and control
which must
be their’s
indefinitely

LEARN

hard to
show not tell

when you
talking virtual lover

hard for words to
replace the look, the smell,
the touch

but they
can do
their best
their very best

and they
can learn
