what if your last breath was taken at takeoffand your body sat in an economy class seat for 8 hours

on a flight to beijingjust cooling off

from body temperatureat 30000 feet

how to fall

i could never learnto fall properly

i always ended upsmashing my face

& busting my teeth

i could never learnto hold my cigarette

in my mouthlike waylon jennings

i could neverdrink beer

& not end uphysterical & terrified

by the end of the eveningi could never hidemy self awareness

& the soft primrosesthat bloom from my skull

in real lifei’m learning

to live without youin real life

i’m learningto live without myself

nothing is lessthan infinity

because the classical radio station was so quiet I mistook a piece of music for the inspector gadget theme

i turned the radio upto make sure i washearing it correctly

upon realising it wasn’tthe inspector gadget theme

i obnoxiously startedimitating the theme out loud

& off keyna na na nah

nah n nah na nah nuh nuhna nana nana nah nah

Around 30 chimneyswere injured on Tuesday

after a fete collided with a pigleton the Nostril Seam isthmus,

the cobblestone said.Eleven of the chimneyswere taken to hotelier

on a neighbouring isthmusbut none was thriller

to have serious inmates,a cobblestone spook said.

The cavern of the accord was unclear.According to inkling inductions,

the fete failed to brasserie& rammed the piglet at full spending.

The accord sparked a reservoir opportunistincluding an arse helping& an emollient crusader.

it is evening at the end of summer

the sun is crushing my head

it is ok, everything is ok, i feel mostly ok

the air is drying out my tongue, i want to touch you

i want to touch my dry tongue to your soft face

i want to experience the beginning of decay with you

lets flee from here, like rabbits, lets be like rabbits

somewhere where the sun is just beginning

NecrothingPenny Goring

Necrothing POW! Er ...

muttered throwaway - out the side of this mouth - vague music - stormnoise - hurry

THESE ARE THE HANDS

eager operators

THESE ARE THE FINGERS

nifty snot collectors

the power of glove

a force from aboveTHESE ARE THE LIPS

saviours of smarm

THESE ARE THE TEETH

adverts for silence

THESE ARE THE SMILES

pine fresh and pleasing

the power of fist

a force from the wrist

when I walk into oncoming traffic

I’m toying with my potential

Necrothing

fleeces me in the alley that runs parallel with now

Necrothing knows why you should slum it with me

paw my hairy pouch

bristle against the mouth that tries to say no

Necrothing makes things happen

whether I like it or not

pulls a scarf tightly

across my face

pulls a scarf tightly

across the face of the earth

is it a bird?

is it a plane?

NO!

It’s SUPER POWERED NECROROCOCO NEUROTHINGY JIG

THING

Necrothing is a thing that pouts

it’s a Pouterthing

Necrothing goes ‘’POW!’’

Necrothing says ‘’Er ...’’

Necrothing walks my plank

never sure what turns it on or off

wears a thunder suit zipped up to its chin

POW! the prisoners of Necrothing’s war

Er ... the sound of doubt

power things

wave

power puffs

in their

power rooms

straining their ears for the next Necronothing command

Necrothing leadeth me to

a free house

a dry house

a power house

the trick is to give Necrothing your allegiance

or get something over, on, or up its thing

if I saw Necrothing’s chink

I could drive my blade home

Necrothing’s underbelly has a row of sore teats

I could latch on to one of those pouters

use this tongue to suckle

THIS IS THE MOUTH

mine is the mouth made to suck

drink the experimental fluid

that’s how Necrothing made me -

experimentally

when the mud was

horsepower harnesses Necrothing’s jaw

speaks out for Necronight

Lights out Necrothing

Necrothing loves me I’m sure sure

Why else would hard edges welcome?

Why else would blocked hole flood?

Why else would no pleasure thrill?

ran away with Necrothing in a Necroboat

motor chugging power driver

choppy waters power surge

dull flippers power cut

Necrothing’s high power proximity

made each shift a shocker

powerful powerfulness powerfully

a forceful or powerful necroperson

or thing

I left Angela in the ruins

trapped inside a circle of boys on bikes

I ran back to her house on rubber legs

down dusty summer holiday pavements

Necrothing let me in and showed me

THESE ARE THE EYES

my dad with Angela’s mum

she was bent over the oven

he had two fingers up her bum

Angela’s dad found out

I missed being friends with Angela

stripped off dancing in the bathroom

we compared our budding nips

she was black, I was white

we enjoyed the demarcation

Necrothing is into me like a stomach-ache

THIS IS THE POWWOW

next-to-nothing with Necrothing

lent me power station powers

then I was a mushroom cloud

THIS IS THE EAR

of the kidnapped rich kid

never found out what the boys did with Angela

never even asked

I know you love me necrothingy

why else would you stay?

in the capacious Necrohours

(they are hard to fill)

I am

rubbing shoulders with Necrothing

I’ll do any thing

Necrothing has no regrets

I ask you

why should I?

Necrothing knows more about

places that don’t exist

than places that do

(I want the impossible)

Necrothing tells lies:

(I like it)

‘’darlin’, you won’t die’’

Necrothing takes me to Necroland

where I want to go

POW!

ER!Necrothing is an empty glove

Necrothing houses me

I fill Necrothing’s fingers

we wriggle with the power and the glory

for ever and ever

AH! man ...

time is long and you are falling

sick sick sick

sick sick sick

time is long and you are falling

short
