Teeth Of a Donkey
she shoves a rolled up newspaper
in my face,
cackles madly
and dances around, in little
circles.
still waving
that
damn
paper.
she peels back her immense lips
bearing black lumps of
enamel.
she shrieks
she cackles
she skips off
to bother
someone
else.
a woman with the voice of a
banshee
and the teeth of a donkey.
along with serious
mental health
issues.

Cigarette Machine
let me assure you
that
there is no
such
thing
as a spare
cigarette.
although I do happen
to have a whole load of
cat hair
going spare.
please,
help
yourself.

Voice Notes
I have taken to writing
my poems
by voice, on my iphone
at strange and
inopportune
moments,
like when I am ordering
a coffee
or buying a rail ticket.
it's much easier
and quicker than
writing it down and
has the bonus
of really
freaking
people
out.

Manners
sure,
you can just
bash
into my leg because
you are clumsy,
and not bother
to apologise.
because you're sitting
next to me,
and unlike you
I have an ipod
with very
loud
headphones,
and a vast collection
of drum n bass.

Cocktail Glass
life through the bottom
of a cocktail glass
can be pretty,
if it's a Singapore Sling
Or maybe
a Cosmo,
but not so much
if it's a Long Island Iced Tea. still, it's not so bad,
at least it's not Gin.

Victoria Inferno
when you have trains
as hot as
this,
I ask you,
who the hell
needs
a sauna??

My Name is Mickey
homeless and trying
to make ends
meet.
my name is Mickey.
that's what the sign
said.
I put a pound
in his hat.
he didn't seem
to notice that
much
but I felt
better
anyway.

Person Taken Ill
it's been half an hour
already.
all I know is
they had better be
half dead.
it's been a
very
long
day.

One Stop
yes,
I know we are only
one
stop
down the line.
but I want you
to know,
that it fucking felt
like
five.

Sardines
if just one
more
person
gets on this damn train
they'll have to climb
into our pockets.
because that's just about
the only
space
left!
