doing his bit to spice up suburban life.
he likes to think of himself as the provincial eye.
a martyr might cost you up to half a million
but a shill will still only set you back a shilling or two.
a broad sweep,
operation snoop-while-you-sleep,
a town of amateur sleuths,
i think i heard my letterbox snapping to.
villager volunteer swat division all rounding us up with grim precision.
train guard pulls magnum from hidden holster
and trains it at the temple of amateur photographer.
speaking for a certain kind of saviour
about certain kinds of uncertain behaviour - citizen spy.
he doesn't care if their cameras give him cancer.

the ferris wheel rolled into town it made me feel like i'd dropped down right into paris knee deep dog shit vulture culture pick 'n' mix two double oh eight dead weight culture of capital gains under pains to deliver a meaningful experience in DUMPlington centre
on the finest booze in the bestest bars where all the locals and losers have been barred i sink my teeth into stale bread with my feet on the leather - its my only pleasure where a fella named never does the same old shuffle never says a word never moves a muscle with a grin he teaches em to operate the machinery that'll one day replace him
i'm dressed from head to toe in silk in a town that reeks of rotten milk on a wooden bench for our arte and labore another peel town another white acre -
stand at the intersecting vectors of cross and fennel street
speak your troubles to the spokes be the residual of a visual joke
mr leese
sez
my hands
starting
to seize
penning all these hymns to the wheel underneath various pseudonyms.

clifford frigs himself as pigeons slide into listed buildings,
as he fingers the life support machine of a chav queen,
chav christ, ritual sacrifice. rosy-cheeked and dewy eyed,
weeping about the witch at the bottom of her drive.
on a checkerboard in reverse order i read out loud
the sources of my boredom - morons on forums have
simultaneously decided there is no more art or fashion,
only records that whisper "HOO-ray for satan" if you
spin em arse backwards.
like perry, like gaga, like callahan, like pink.
a fresh assignment lands on his desk
as he exposes himself as a poet in progress
as he parts his lips and expresses regret
at having never seen the whites of their eyes
only broken bodies after the fact. it's like
seeing war rage through a phone camera lens,
blitzkrieg in ten million pixels
"oh the humanity" on the digital zoom
zoom, zoom, zoom,
zoom, zoom, zoom.
