Chin

Under your chin
like an ocean
waves of warm air
roaring through your nose
splash against my cheek
no seaweed
just tangled hair
sleeping on tiptoes
lost in fog
shipwrecked
as crabs crawled across your feet
and salty air
washed them clean

Kop Flop

Caught in a stream
of sweat & scouse men
Past the hot dog stand
the programme stall
& the anyspareticket man
Ever nearer ever nearer
to their Jerusalem

Caught in a rush
we blindly follow
Careful to avoid
horse manure and mush
Our bodies squashed
our toes numb
We're given a friendly push
through the turnstiles

And we pour out
onto those sacred steps
Like tiny crustaceans
on the seabed
All at once
our dreams and fears are lost
Engulfed by the swell
of the great red jellyfish
With scarfs aloft
in the murmur and the din
faces fixed, expressionless
our bodies flop

Pink Cloud

I dripdrop dripdrop
further into
some weird place
where heads are surrounded
by pink cloud
that dripdrop dripdrop
with surreal condensation
taking me further into
that weird place
where my black and white cat
maintains his sanity
and i find myself
freaking out in pink cloud
nothing to hold on to
except my black and white cats'
comparative sanity
and the hope that he can find his way out
before i'm consumed
by pink clouds of doubt
