I

oh dear odessa’s silvernitrate
starting block
an illusion, it’s ‘dogged as does it’

as per usual
who is who per art
to saturate
in excess
of a bum steer

whirring insatiably
its political burr
filmed into oblivion

II

on course, startled

gone to nothingness, ourselves
ugh, i mourn

ugh, i lettered in u’s loose use
ugh

what is mine or what is yours at dawn

leave by a foot’s whoops, whoops’ soul
’mongst the nights

tell me ‘oh, boo-hoo’

the use of thine and mine at night
ugh

i fuse to u’s

a huge part of thy departure in dreams
‘whoops, whoops’ we in us

III

suppose mrs catherine’s egg, shoo!

how do you do?
i have enjoyed it
white with yellow
like pigeons woo, soft or hard!

O my heart

o’er tears she peers
’mrs catherine
shoots

suppose a warring cock
screened cell or canned
oh dear, dissolved her roost

in between thes’ long intervals

IV

to an’ fro
standing off
queuing up to dream
jessica, keep aside an eye

there reasons for unreason
(sic) wealth
waiting
bring forth your purse
come thes’ dreams

come, oh futility, come
to lillies’ lips
at times we’ll…

O ’ell prosperity ’ll bring forth
a billion billions

there, Jessica
