OVER THE MOON
I have travelled
over the Moon
and seen
the delirious footballers
some of whom
parked the
bus
they do not,
however,
stay over the
Moon
for long
especially the ones
who park
the bus
and then there are those
whose visit here lasts
barely a minute
pulled back
at lightspeed as they are
by VAR.

KINDLING
my love
is very
flying saucy
pulls me
in with
her attractor
beam
takes me
to alien worlds where
it’s hard to keep
clear points of reference
and I am there
for
sub zero temperatures
to stoke her
cosmic
star-
like burning fire
am (such a young
species) considered but
kindling

MEET MR LEE
Meet Mr Lee
his comedyno jolly jack tar
side-splitting,
belly wobblingcoarse
Blackpool Boy
slinging those
good old
British insultsyour
great grandmother
used to love
(though far
more blue and
spicy
than what, God rest her
soulshe might
be pleased to recall)but our Mr Lee
weaves in and out of
a teasinglysubversive narrative
doing a Derrida-deferral when it
comes to our presumptions
of
obvious endings, met
expectationssoon though
we on the trail, got the gistthe punchline more pinprick
than slap in the
face by
clown-glove incongruitymore
I did not realize
the politics
of this world so hopelessly,
incorrigibly absurd.

DIY POEM
was writing
my DIY poem
but forgot to sendso read this one
I sent as its surrogateimagine how it sounds, how
the words taste, feelwhether they
look back at you, straight in the eye,
or avert their gaze: outmuscled, out matchedthe page waits
write it down

paperhell-for-leather

PUNCHLINE
observe a
Tyrannosaurus Rex
look at those
ferocious jawsmassive limbs
tiny armsdo we not all see
in this the lineaments
of future comedy
genesis of
joke
as
outlandish ideahuman laughter not
yet born but comet working on it
even Mr Carroll’s Jabberwock
set to
split is sides

PANTALOON
came across
(out of the
corner of
my eye, in
my mind’s eye)a pantalooned shaman
dervish-dancing his way
out of town via
across a tightropesomeday the steeple
that underpinned his efforts
will register the strain
come
tumbling downjust as captured in Bakhtin’s writing
thing turned upside down
by causal consequence of
comedic licensewe laugh uproariously, all
except the shamans
who shake their heads quizzically, look
back critically,
question every
ludicrous transformation of human rationality
from their unique perspective
of a shapeshift Universe
whose
spirit of dark
alchemy
they alone would claim to understand

POEM FOR RIK MAYALL
the plastic beauty of
comedyrubber-faced, the slapstick
a joyous ballet beautifully choreographedthe seismic laughter shaking walls and
as such needing to be contained
not to be trustedthe Kingdom of the bland becoming
so deadly serious: it’s godlike figures
above and beyond ridicule, satiresarcasm painted thick and fast
as sloppy as it gets given
the wide, wide, wide brush

Caught sight of your mother
on the mother shipshe refused to dock
whilst people were saying
Eddie Murphy’s in townhis reputation for mocking insult
stretching across the galaxy
no situation of such gravity
that it can escape
his comedythinking of which
she peered down
at our planet
deeply unable to landfiguring some play on the word “equator”
might be what awaits hernot all the string
in string theory enough to
wrap her
parallels and meridians
the whole
Milky Way around
