size them up
had me my hand me downs
and, we all know too well known
if the shoe fits wear it
nicest stuff is worn out and she wore my XXL shirt around the house
her chores, get done…
one bra in the wash and no panties on
The first steps
commemorated with expensive shoes,
soles being broken in,
a mash of burning glass,
molten sand and in it,
it’s silica content

My turn
I’m going to

no one ever even noticed me
in High School
our first kiss
needs to be perfect
you don’t get a redo

love-hate relationship
obsession …

in the way they stay upsetting
themselves.
you’re setting yourself up for failure
possible optimism

my other, half

they’re prescription

Red Dye Number 40
in pursuit of riches
snapped twigs, and
perseverance
exhausted —
all my resources …
gone,
in the heat of the moment.

Welcome

I’ll take your coat
your hair smells refreshened

remnants of soap
lathered and rinsed out

Rhetoric
attacking my integrity
questioning… me
myself,
I, was taught there was no such thing as a stupid question
second guessing…
why?
you were impolite.
looking for answers in an inner view

Infinitesimal

cellular division
the genomic sequence
time is a light matrix
encoded in
0’s & 1’s
goes on forever …
and, in that order
10, 9.
A singularity
and absolute zero
the big freeze or heat death
he said no one can help us
when, asking the universe
for answers
what, times any number
… is nothing other than zero

They say he has his way with the ladies

hey, let’s not get carried away

after a fight—being broken up

then my eyes rolled back

Dark Side of the Moon
prophesied
the premonitions
foreshadow people
who live lives with
similarities parallel to our very own
when your third eye intakes light
and all the shades disappear in the night
their life is vibrant

it’s either that
Or, are you completely isolated
in the back of the black of your eyelids
see an oracle or dream interpreter,

Fog of War
smoking barrels
in talks —about the past
around the campfire
you could cut the tension with a knife
the only thing needed is a good sense of humor
And,
…try not to lose your self along the way
the buddy system
marching—
side by side
do you trust that man with your life?
willing to take a bullet for them?
behind every great man is a great woman…

Sweating in my Sleep
This is a dream full of desires,

Dubbed Subtitles
what I say goes —
if I say so -
don’t allow an application to control anything
they need permission in these settings
and turn down your background music
“for what?”

we cannot have anyone getting an extreme close up
portray a picture perfect image
believe me...
flash forward,
when you’re using the front camera shutter you’ll see

Waxing Poetic
my love letter
stamped with a pair of pressed lips
licked,
then sealed with a kiss
the silent observer.
waiting for his moment
with the present
trying quietly not to mouth breathe aloud
smothered in your undergarments
while fire from the two flames
arose
on a magic candle
over and over
like a brazier come undone

The Vacuum of Space
star dust -
quantum particles —
and, strings ...
from the fabric of the universe
ashes to ashes,
A bindi
black glasses,
fragmented obsidian
and, an asteroid belt
A Shero

hereafter she received
Saturn’s ring.

Clothing Line
cut from a different cloth
dyed in the wool you pulled over your eyes
you made your bed now lie on it
tomorrow
is a wonderful day to die innit
I dress my wounds
and wear my heart on my sleeve
with cuff links & fingers crossed
Thursday 4th July 2024 8:41 pm
just walk away
pack your bags
and
go get ready
to walk the walk
through the traffic
of differing directions
wave down the runway
and remember…
never, look back

I Am Out of Fashion
Are you pumping your asses? Come on!
Are you pumping tits and lips… Come on!
There are tattoos on your eyebrows, ass.
You forgot the word, LASS.
You know how to comb your hair.
But you don’t know how to be fair.
You know how to do makeup
But you don’t know how to wash up.
You know how to make money doing nothing,
But you don’t know how to do something.
You l...

The Coming of a New Age
With every year's end - the advent marks the start of a new day,
as human kind we’re always growing wiser, furthermore, fully face to face with the task of taking baby steps toward a straight forward path —
It’s time to take a stand…
(With that being said: we really need to enjoy such a joyous occasion)
In an effort to boost morale; International Women’s Day should pronounce a two part holiday...

"Cancel Couture"
Go home
Take a shower
Put on your brand-new Couture
Walking down the street as clean as can be
Though you know your character lacks such hygiene
Carefully avoiding anything that will dirty your all-white attire
Your outfit is custom made of course
But yet the inevitable happens
The same way you ruined the previous ensemble
Destroys any hope for salvage
And w...

I am a mannequin fashion me today

Make me look like your woman

Take me break me into pieces
Dress me in your fancy fleeces
Show me off in any style

Please go with me the mile

Generation Gap, Next...
Take me back to the days of heady boutiques
Those psychedelic shades which heighten the senses
Racks of lush purple velvet, loon pants, cheesecloth, suede mini skirts
Float me to Biba, Granny Takes A Trip
Where tender darkness and patchouli wafting
Not sickly Haribo sweetness...clinging, cloying

Passing Fashions
When they grow up they dress in a new life:
a family of new suits and shirts to wear.
And the ties are new too.
He strides out on his new catwalk
proudly wearing his new self,
blind to the day the cloth may unravel
or fade or lose its style.
What will clothe him then?
I shall not grace his shoulders again:
I am the coat he has outworn
in my pockets are his memories

I can't take my eyes off those silver boots
I went window shopping a couple of weeks ago, not planning on parting with any cash, but then, I saw these beauties. Three thoughts flashed in a state of instant wild excitement: 1. Starman. 2. Noel Fielding. 3. Give them to me nowwwwww! And then I thought of this - ENJOY!
I will wear them down the pub
I will shop in them at Sainsburys
I went to a book launch in them last week
I hoovered...

...and a new pair of shoes
How do I love my shoes?
Let me count the ways.
I love their comfort and style and price.
When my foot can slip in
easily,
when kicking out of sight
foolish Insults and remarks.
I love them for their shine
and waterproofing,
Quiet in the walking,
By sun and torch-light.
I love the comfort as men
strive for Comfort.
I love their fashionability,
as they bask In praise...

Fashion antithesis
The fashion industry grips girls and boys in a funny spot,
Gets self hatred leaking from their mouth's like a money shot.
‘Cos there’s nothing wrong with exercise to tighten your thighs,
But there’s something wrong with drinking bleach to purify your insides.
So if we run out of cannabis,
I’ll have to handle this,
Just to release the pressure on her
With a fashion antithesis.

Fashion Womble
I am a fashion womble, ‘cause I like to find
clothes that the everyday folk leave behind
in charity shops. They’ve got quite a range
the vintage, the bargain, the oddball and strange:
Chenille turtlenecks that are falling to pieces,
stonewashed Wranglers with turn-ups and creases,
a Hellbunny dress that won’t fit round the middle,
a gabardine coat that smells s...
