Perforated Love at the BFI after work

I have hate.

Staring at the Thames, I lack detail
- See a mere ritual of business in purposeful waves
Scapegoat for poets.
Theme identified!

“San Miguel on Visa?”
So I never looked good at the right time
And never fucked a dirty whore
Or screwed a normal one senseless.
“Sorry mate – no change”
Idiot tramps.

South Bank clatters and scratches concrete.
River Bass no longer just fish – but too in music manifest!
Gatherers out in force to find fuck-buddies it seems.

Yet I’m suited.

Pebbles of Late summer-clouds chaperone
Water’s path inevitable – hither east.

My inevitability though?
Have I too a sail to be wind-led, do I
Spite surrounding bodies seemingly?
Oar itself would suffice
- Single even;
One side clawed; alternate; made
To bring from the stricken path away,
Would suit.
I’d love to lose; having tried.

“Flyer in your face sir?”
On San Miguel’s name, I swear revenge to deface the transgressor.
Haven’t read the advert, though will scribble thoughts on back.
- Think someone wants to be cultural.
So then do I assume too attire, beard and specs?
“Interesting point” on subject laureate – for speaking’s sake?

Though, I like it now to be ignored;
Receding hair seems just the trick.
But remember youth? Arrogance cocooned in ambition,
Foreskin of life - gone;
Now sensitivity glows it’s fresh-faced piglet.

Sans Miguel the composer, words are at loss.
End.
“Another one please!”

Milton won!


Better to reign in Hell, than to serve in heaven.
Better to reign.
In Hell.
Than to Serve.
In heaven.

Milton; the all-seeing Milton, I see thee too.

Paradise’s may be lost in sight, yet won in blindness.
With life’s aim fulfilled
Only at point where fruits unseen are treasured.

The unseen, on worldly plane to see,
Must lose wordly sight it seems.

Whilst in honey, dribbled tongue spells,
Articulation has no need door;
To eloquence I lend my coat,
Cold snap’s boat of silence to thaw.
