Ha! (Nothing, I Was Just Laughing At Your Cum Face!)
Jesus Christ, I was only joking
come back to bed and straddle mine.

I Resemble That Remark
“You are a complete Bastard!”
She yelled as spit bounced off my face.
“Yes, you are right, I agree with you!”
I answered with a weary smile.
“Of all the dirty lowdown tricks.
How dare you agree with me
when I’m insulting you, are you mad?
Christ, you fucking infuriate me.
If I called you a ‘Cunt’ or an ‘Asshole’
you’d probably smile and agree, wouldn’t you?”
She hissed with a voice of venom.
“Well, given the proper occasion,
I can be both at exactly the same time!”
I answered, smiling and agreeing.
“See, there you go again,
turning an insult into a compliment.
I could stab you in the face with a fucking fork!”
She screamed, grabbing her coat and slamming
the front door loudly behind herself.
It was Thursday night again, her sisters girlie night.
I don’t know why she didn’t just say
that she was going and then just go?
I’ve been called a Bastard 3 Thursdays this month
and the truth is I really like the break it gives me,
I’ve even started stocking up beer on the Wednesday,
because I’m a clever Bastard like that. J

Do I Look Fucking Sci-Fi To You?
There a bloke moved into the attic room (You remember Trophy’s old place?)
he’s got a North English accent and I shouldn’t really judge him because I have
only spoke to him twice and on both occasions I walked away from him after a
very long, drawn out minute or two, but I shall judge the cunt all the fucking same,
The Geezer Is A Fucking Dickhead!
He is into (Christ, I can hardly bring myself to say it!) Star Trek, on the day he
moved in I had the misfortune of needing to go for a piss while the landlady was
showing him the showers and she introduced me as the writer,
“Oh, what kind of things do you write, Sci-Fi?” he asked and wrongly answered
himself.
“No, do I Fuck, I write about real things, like piss missing the toilet bowl,
headaches on Sundays, women who can bring their periods on at will, the intricate
shading of a black eye, flea’s with drinking problems, the buzzing of a police
scanner, how Prozac doesn’t work, hot wax on pink nipples, scratch marks on the
back of my soul, peacock feathers dipped in bitterness and drying on a hot Summer
Welsh pavement, knives with badly burnt points, pubic hair smiles, Uri Geller’s
haemorrhoids alive and well and living on another plain, the funny bone’s silent
music, Germaine Greer doing it for herself, Old Holborn hangovers, empty
cardboard boxes which heroically yet uselessly defy the wind, a pebble on Oxwich
Beach, fragments of false hope, love bites on the ass, the fever of fear, the pollution
of panic, uncomfortable happiness, a castrated mongrel dog licking a discarded
lollypop somewhere in Cardiff’s Splot area, how cobwebs are really fucking made,
ants with herpes, song thrush’s with thrush, why sledgehammers don’t rest well
in kitchen sinks, Beer, aids, cancer, heart attacks, ulcers, fruit salads and running
out of cigarette papers, Japanese Knotweed, the female condom, Neath Fair, a
crumbling house brick, splitting matches in a prison cell, slopping out on the 2’s,
the liberty cap, crow’s feet and chicken shit, a dented saucepan, an old water well
full to the brim with empty citer bottles, luminous vibrators, cigarette burns with
attitude, Women, ice-cubes, dental hygiene, disused bike ramps, scowering pads,
empty wallets, angry wallpaper, bad haircuts and Fly Argaric.
Lonely red wine picnics, breadcrumbs on the bed sheets, tracing-paper toilet roll,
Blackjacks, helter-skelters, smoke glass ashtrays, The River Neath, almost poetry,
insane taxi drivers, THE GUTTER, giros, beggars, thieves and tired babysitters.
Post office queues, a blob of turquoise, clothes of black, scarlet velvet curtains,
that purple crap that dentists give you to rinse your mouth out, another bit of
turquoise, nutmeg, lime scale, dangerous stepladders, uneven pavements, the X5
bus which goes from Neath to Swansea, laying down upon the back seat of the X5
bus from Neath To Swansea somewhere in Briton Ferry and pissing onto the floor.
A sticky bag of sherbet lemons, St. Trinian’s movies, Smudge and the mess which
resides within his cranium, flint and steel, gorse bushes, tractor tires, stone
throwing, rats, bats and antelopes, watching piss run along the floor of the X5 bus
from Neath to Swansea, spelling mistakeses, Bagpuss, whisky, 9p tins of beans,
foxes, rusty spanners, prison cell nightmares, Mr. Benn, the insane guy from
upstairs, broken nasal cavities, forehead stretch marks, leukaemia H2O, black
desert boots, silver jewellery, January’s anger, the Swedish Au Pair I once met
in Soho London, chopsticks and switchblades, the revenge of teachers, The Ivy
Tower, witches, Welsh Folk and Valleys of deep living green, Tiger Bay, The
Saltings, Monkey Rock, Port Talbot’s steel works, nicotine stains on toilet
porcelain, bonging, Kate Moss.
Window shopping, ram-raiding, suicidal servitude, the false hope of Summer,
DEATH, trying to avoid stepping in piss when exiting the X5 bus in Swansea,
pieces of string, razor blades, burning skateboards, plain out of shape candles,
a short middle fingernail.
Bedbugs and the Karma Sutra with black coffee, INSANITY and other day to
day emotions, gravy granules, chocolate chip cookies, sunsets, electric light
bulbs, dirty looks, fish tanks, lies and excuses.
Christina Applegate holding a rose between her teeth, Crickley Hill, The Forest
Of Dean, magpies, spears, wooden staffs and pine kindling, the first roll-up of
the morning, button mushrooms, MAGIC MUSHROOMS.
The way things used to be, the blonde guy who keeps giving me dirty looks in
Ottackers book shop, the girl with the long straight brown hair and glasses who
works in Solo Record Shop in Truro, those damned Cathedral bells which never
stop ringing.
Pornography, sickness, music, depression, donkey rides, spinning out, drunken
teenagers, pointing two fingers upwards, hunger pains, matchstick craftwork,
making mailbags in Swansea Prison, signing on, opting out, books and shit,
custard slices, blue tack and train stations.
VODKA, rope burns, idiocy, truth, decadence, purity, Autumn, the number
thirteen, DRUGS, constipation, the shits, white trousers, MORE DRUGS, road
cone helmets, a shopping trolley ride, HOSPITALS.
Mint aero’s, suicide, birth, perfection, fear, tattoo’s, paint brushes, the Summer
holidays spent forced indoors, ANGER, SPITE and the guillotine, frost bite,
the moon, masturbation and blackboards.

Fried egg sandwiches, A4 notepads, those little blue pens from Argos, The Melyn
Woods, Katherine Close, Gloucester Cathedral, indigestion, cramp vampires,
vicious toothpicks, a sack of railway stones, chicken pasties, sawn-off shotguns,
crowbars and phlegm.
Blackheads on one’s tongue oooOOOOHHHH! Trago Mills, blank cassettes,
castanets, cornets, hornets, car bonnets, empty bottles, hookers, DEBAUCHERY,
body odour, the guilt mangled up inside its cover aaaAAAARRRggggGG! and
of course other such important issues like Halloween Hallucinations.
The landlady and the Twat who likes Star Trek had stood with open mouths while
I had divulged this information, but now that I had finished they looked at each
other then quickly turned and walked away.
It must have been something I said? mind you, I think that I did overdo it a bit
when I mentioned paint brushes, I don’t know, what do you think?
