Mind Sweeper

Inverted,
internal,
dialogue,
diverting perverted
monologue
Chock a block
with dirty tricks
sidelining,
whitewashing,
gate crashing,
confidence trashing,
an ear bashing
Careless thoughts
amass,
creating a wave
in the mental morass,
that will sure as day
pave the way
to forays,
excursions,
no refund one way tickets
to destinations
destitute,
one horse town
with a populace
of mutes

Plastic Rapped

See through rapper,
looking dapper.
Half hitch jeans,
walking cool.
Remnants
of tenements,
and half scraped
gene pools.
Don't tell me
I look weird
I fear greater things
than you,
lewd gestures,
vapid pastures,
rapping,
and crapping out,
shouts for crews,
street muggers,
and generally
the buggers,
who rob
some office knob
and make the news.
Shoes
too white
to work in
Dating girls
too fat
to be twerking
Genuine sentiment,
truly the testament,
highly debatable,
but much
to your detriment.

Gongs Rung

So,
I did it wrong
Big deal
You're looking over my shoulder,
stealing ideas
I'm feeling demeaned
from the fear
of failing to meet your standards
I'd rather do it my way
make my own mistakes that may,
teach me,
reach inside me,
not leech me of creative ability
There's more than one path
so just for a laugh
let's pretend your rendition
is only one version
The application of your consternation
indicates machinations
How unseemly

Version aversion

Human edited,
edition limited,
remit conditional,
objectively speculative,
superlative free,
non-denominational,
rational implorer,
devotional decider,
third round survivor,
vetoed creed,
dire strated,
credo stated,
brief semblances,
of emblemic
sentences
Forbearance
and temperament
distanced
from reactions
Undistracted blinder
of fears
unfounded

Yorkie Barred

You scratch my back,
I'll scratch yours
Backhanders
for slack hands,
not paid work
you understand
Favours for favours
indian landlord slave labourers,
but it's not about
race or caste,
or unlawful warfare
in times long passed
Exploitation
has a new face,
sanctions dictating
a different pace
Kids must be fed
on more
than just bread
So,
kick us
when we're down,
from being beaten
to the ground
Born,
we are,
and bred,
to be strong
in arm
and thick
in head

I Decline , Reclined

Too long overdue
oversized shoes,
to fit
ball juggling clowns
making the news,
ending
on a light note,
saccharin laughs
get our vote
Make up for
made up faces
Campaign trails,
rail strikes,
naked bike rides,
twerking celeb brides,
lies told in congress,
digressing white teeth
Coffee cup cold
I'm getting older
but not thinner,
flashing box dreamworks
and
my second TV dinner

Ebb and Flow

You ask me
once again,
I hold my breath
and count
to ten
Immersed
and submerged,
wave tossed
lost
in the current,
lifted by swell
I'm adrift
Tossed onto shores
feet cut by shells,
walking through quicksand,
feeling quite sick,
and,
can't find the way
to the place
we once stayed
A cheap B and B
near Clapton on Sea,
where damp walls
and cold chips,
heartened
despite hardships,
sustained us,
entertained us
You were such a good dancer
but you bite
lacquered nails
as once more
I fail
to give you an answer

Thirst Date

Sharp stick blinder,
lipsticked sidewinder,
tart
with no heart,
but constant reminder
Desires replete
and dressed for the street,
stressed out
and left out,
aggregate soul,
spilling small stones,
unsafe load,
in direct contravention of the Highway Code
Never again I say,
but once again into the fray
I go
Kowtowed,
it's a go slow,
slogans shown,
T shirts worn,
senses torn in two
I'm fucked up just like you
We're trending
while you bend my will
to consume,
beers chilled,
cheap pills for bedtime thrills
Worn out
I'm the advert torn out,
a discount token for affection
Compensating,
indicating
your lack of a sense of direction

Vladimir komarov

Ablation
Metal plate flayed
Parachute deployment betrayed
Hear shield absorption
rate exceeded
Increased acceleration
Atmospheric buffering
Stuttering digits
Sluggish responses
Coms down
Bound
and shouting
Doubting
Eventually found
and displayed
in bad taste,
a glass case
Exhibited
Red flags for
dead rags
Blackened husk
Parades in red square
to placate the bear
and Gagarin's saviour
Who,
at his end,
earned the right
to condemn,
despite their elation,
the state
of the so called great,
soviet nation

Fine dine a la (shopping) carte
