Job Interview
He said ‘Please take a seat
We have modern equipment
The top of the bill
Of modern recruitment
Right there on the screen
Is our beautiful bot
[welcome]
She will manage your talk
Tell me, isn’t she hot?
People have sex
Using pictures and deepfakes
And we have Vanessa
Who can do so much more.
I’m here for the job
[Can you specify the question]
I’m here for the job
[Can you specify the question]
I’m here for the job
[What do you mean exactly?]
I’m here for the job
[Please choose a topic
[What do you mean I'm a bot? Could you rephrase that question?]
[We are a great business with satisfied customers]
Soon I quit the attempt
Feeling oddly undone
By the answers I got
From this xml hon
Who’s a stiff digit Lady
So annoyingly pretty,
That I almost forgot
Her dimwitted speech
So I asked about life
And tomato sauce
And her favourite tune
To tease out the dross
And if she had a boyfriend
To be warm to her privates
But she kept on repeating
[I do not understand]

At your service, young lady :)
I'll offer you my word
As long as you believe it
I can walk upon the water
That you freeze for me
I offer you my hands
And hope you'll rub them warm
I'll tell you I can't use them
The blood and the stone.
I'll make a twist
I'll make a turn
Tormenting the ice
The spin is on me
I'll take a bend
I'll fake a bow
Tossing the dice
The cast is on me.
I'm dancing on a mirror
Spinning left to right
What's right was left
What's left is right
And when the thaw sets in
I'll make the tide feel colder
I'll drop another word
That will harden and stiffen
And splinter on the ground
And glisten like a razor
Enough to keep your faith.
And melt away the doubt.
I'll loop around
I'll scratch the face
Caressing the ice
The test is on me
I'll pierce the ground
I'll show the way
Snowed under
The tale is on me.
I'm dancing on a mirror
Spinning left to right
What's right was left
What's left is right
I'd like us to be friends
Cos I'd like to keep on dancing
I'll tie your will to mine
I'd like to keep on dancing

Green to Black
05:00

Green turned to black
A sole dandelion
Stood askance in a field
Praising the sun
For their likeness as one, when
It got smell of a wind
Blowing cold premonition
As it shook up its leaves
To a tense disposition
An unstoppable torrent
Pasting tarmac in rollers
Turned the field to a road
To be used by a few.
Green turned to black
Green turned to black
Overturning the pace
And the winner took all
Now did he.
After using some wood
Building bridges and homes
On a surface inviting
A people sustained
Against pendulous odds
Mostly part of the play
As they winced at the sun
To keep smiling their way
Enter the burn
It had never returned
Enter the shells raining down
Melting the ground
Green turned to black
Green turned to black
Overturning the pace
And the winner took all
Now did he.

Close To Home
A soul comes to life
when the city starts drowsing
Teasing the tar
Watching my wheel spin
The road has no will
But the need to go on
And it’s pressing me on
Pressing me on
It was 200 years
On a road without bikes
That a poet decided that
The moon was a ship
It was 50 odd years
On a road full of rocks
That a poet decided
On a rest
Close to home
Mazed broken ground
Like rain in my face
When the light flares it up
From the surface
But the drizzle is soft
Like a diligent mood
That knows how to keep
pressing me on
I think in the 90s
Not owning a car
One poet decided to steal one
And knock people down
I’ve only a bike
And I've nothing to cure, so
This poet decided
To go lonely roads

Droplets
I’m not sure if I noticed
Well, possibly I did
I’ve had a clotted day
With so much to collect from
A never ending wash,
That’s been
Begging for attention, and I
I can’t seem to recall
Much too much
to please them all
And I don’t think I care
Anymore
The voices are like rain
On the floor
Droplets.
So much to overthink
I’ll just have another drink
Sugar and milk.
Guess I could take a look
If you say it took you years,
Think I could spare a sec
To swipe across your lifetime
What was your name again?
And he title of the song?
I’ll possibly remember
When your hashtag comes along
And frankly I don’t care
Anymore
The voices are like rain
On the floor
Droplets.
So much to overthink
I’ll just have another drink
Sugar and milk.

The 14th Parade

The 14th Parade
We came in
Second place
Of the last thirty first
Who were fifth in a row
Of the 13th parade
That was held on the
15th of May
Closely ranked seventeen
On a limitless list
With another nineteen
That we’d watched in the day
From eleven o’clock
To close to two.
And a million more raindrops
Rang in thousands of voices
I just reckon
It all figures
I just reckon
It all figures
The numbers add up
The odds are even
The root of the matter is
If you look at it squarely
Minus four all for one
For the 14th parade, that
Will be held on the
16th of June, and
That will hand twenty-one
To aid the addition
For another umpteen
To be watched, quite remote
For 24-7, and 366
And a million more specks
Wetting thousands of voices

Coze
Talk lies bare
On an underground sheet
Wrinkled in ways
That makes it
Stubborn to read
With touch dying down
In this surplus of sound
The clicks from the keys
Of the brazen abound
Which cautions
Not to answer them
Who knows I might turn
Into one of them
Incoming news
The cacophonous coze
The jibber jabber
In collusion with those
That have entered before
And are echoing still
That have entered before
And are echoing still
As the pavement deflects
Bouncing bickering noise
The flags on the wall
Show
The tiny and tall
In comes a wave
Of shows and parades
The roar of the mice
Often rashly displayed
But I’m looking for lights
Moving down in the shades
The temperate ones
The reticent ones
And caution
Not to step on them
Imagine your cheek
To be one of them
