A UNIVERSE FROM NOTHING

I make a Universe from nothing
from roughing
new shoes are meant for scuffing
apply treatment like an ointment
and liberate the touching
the hands, the bands
the made up and the strands
tie them all together
and release the pigeon fans

The outside is inside
and all because the bitch lied
the lady loves
the trodden dove
betray a tray for drivers
in a pit they rescue miners
trample down they said they would
they scampered off like spiders

And it tumbled out like treacle
the people, all stuck together stucco
rendered in the peep hole
and mended like a sheet hole
the boat it sinks majestically, interestingly
this world was never meant for me

Accidental karma
no Pharma sue to call
like cuticles and booty calls
and vapour trail conspiracies to distract me
when mankind dies through lethargy
inaction, no traction
a positive infraction
of your rights is wrong
your guns are so far gone
way beyond the shooting
and looting the rusted safety catch jammed
and I am
really something
a real thing
created out of nothing
a universe
within a new verse
a new curse
a gypsy
with a new thirst

A thirst at once for knowledge
your college
is all about the dollars
the life school
you blew from is
better than the new one

A Universe from roughing
from nothing
empty save for something
