I've been scribbling again...

Poems in 140 characters or less....

.....

 In the post Ferguson world
 it's odd
no one mentions
the number of indentured labourers
working for Obama and Gates
in prison

.....

 Every borrower has the right
 to a certificate,
and 10% off your wages
plus free bomb making
with the FBI if you're muslim
YAY

....

 when our daughter was born dead
the missus took to the static bike
 'i'm too fat to get pregnant'
 i just laughed at what she said

.....

 in the final furlong
it's coffee cup
from cigar
with emotional metaphor
 tucked in behind
and here comes
sunshine on the rails

.....

 I'm sending this
because it's easier
than not sending one
and no charge
 is playing on the radio

.....

 oi
white page
check your privilege
of being stamped with black words
oi
 uncle tom
green trees pulped
protest you oppression to whiteness

.....

greck wort fyden worl
legs parting rain wet
fyrtte quenp dominay
stippled fingered bronze

......

give me clay
and spare ribs
give me apples
and a finger
to poke out the I's

.....

peace:)
