Shorty George

She refers to Human Imagination linked to phenomena
gestured by the hand’s enquiry
A woman in shadow converses with Eternal Realities
Sketches reclamation of the streets
Her name could be Praxitelean, the actuary
jump leads her head to avoid overload
branches of stock exchange and a siren.

Vibrated wires in ear wax
notate her script across slivers of resin
on a scratch path in Blake’s
World of Generation and Death
bites under rollers into an exact
geometry ponderous shield like the moon
equates appearance to a nouvelle réalité.

A butterfly on the fence
made hesitant in breeze
changes colour as she moves
this and that side of the garden
snapped by a bird in long johns.

Drawing predicts what he will look like
or how he will be
measured in sudden step elation
There is a rule that
water precedes existence
varied by mineral content.

Stability relies on security
outweighing the threat
On the cart grievance factors
can be entirely ignored
The Bellman’s automatism produces varied
yet recognised signature
without certainty of what it is.

Needs must and chance summate in action
Astride the simulacrum of Paradise
Hi! There is timespace for instance
neg-entropied with a pencil
cleansed eyes of pollen-cell interaction
holds open lids before loom of spiritual approximation.

Damned if you do and
vibrated in Morse on the oak bark
chatter recorded as repetition
Now generate and what would you expect
Goat tethered to reproduce Plato’s ideals.

Tubes of contaminated waste rush air past
platforms of benefit and risk
cryogenic scanning-probes provide the imaging
The Bellman’s cart now
harnessed to a brain storm
iterates plague victims and toxic cargo
to reconciliation or resignation.

You can guess a consequence
Corporate logo engineered to insistence
horseflies and fluff of the leach grass
crushed into newly made paper
signatures in ink of blood and charcoal
whiff of institution mothballs lavender wax
Skidded on your bike
the corridors of prowess.

Expectation presumption exactitude
sprayed on through a tube from an Orgone box
t-t-t-toxic back pain stretched
speeding up tape of croaking voice.
