Net's fucked, need a router, have a poem.

Sandbar

At low tide, lying flat between two spurs of rock
it avoids it’s own extravagances, what am I I am a sandbar
a conglomerate what is this poem
other than an outpouring what is outpouring but lack of control.
Yes but it’s nonsense what is listening but waiting for a pause
what is structure but attempting to discern a meaning what
is appreciation but the hope of reciprocal flattery what is anger but a tool for getting attention what is a sandbar but the agglomeration of eroded particles
what is your point.

What is the lying quiet sat on sandbar with notebook.
What is the omission of indefinite articles what is.
What is the hegemony of adjectives what is what.

Obviously two flat planes sky sea must I keep repeating myself
there has only ever been one poem written and it is about two big blocks of colour
and the contrast between them, all the rest is editing.
What is editing but simple compression what is compression but distillation what is what is what is.

Out on the sandbar it’s all prayers, prayers for forgiveness, solemn psalms
begging for ideas, short conversations with allegorical whimbrels, beaks pushing into sand, inconclusive. A latter day saint, bartering sand in the arse for revelation,
writing romantic speculation in mica with a twig and watching water bubbling to the surface to fill them. A liquid canto. A seabird putting it’s head to one side and saying

We’re all going to beat the oligarchs to death with their own shoes later, fancy it?

The sky is a variety of descriptive words, the sea is less so, all is temperance
the slight convection of air, the indeterminate barometer in the hut on the shore
is a model of calm. Deposition is at a minimum, the cliffs retreat under abrasion is in abeyance. The sandbar shifts and settles.

What is a continuum but relevance,
what is relevance but a static field
what is static but movement
what is movement but a continuum what is

what is a signifier two limpets, conferring
cracking codes on the side of a rockpool, cries
in tonal increments over start salt flats,
a stuttering cipher a cry here, the downward
advancing of the grasses on the Cliffside, the
harmonies of sight the stopping. Stopping and spreading arms wide in a Demagogic Christ pose and holding the picture for some unseen camera feel sure must be watching

What is the sweep of drift what is.
What is the notebook, dripping with brine.
What is the emotion of static items.
Out on the sandbar all is utterance,
stood shaping plosives at a shiftless ocean, standing on
one leg and pursing lip and making faces at the sea,
stopping and exchanging insults with the salt
stopping and comforting the air
stopping and arguing with tides
stopping and singing at petrels, frankly baffled
wheeling up and off and crying their bafflement
stopping and preaching in a serious tone of voice
at anything crossing the field of vision

to sit on the sandbar, and feel the water slowly soaking you, to see the sand pile up on one side of you the feel the salt crusting on your skin cracking when you wrinkle your eyes against the spray and to scrape a shallow grave in the quickly infilling sand and to place your notebook into the grave and watch as the sand flows over it and buries it one bright red corner sticking up sharply to lay back and feel the water about you and hear it rushing in your ears disproportionately loud to it’s gentle motions to stare up and widen your eyes for as long as you dare, find the pen your pocket and break it and to think to yourself you know if nothing else I can always buy more notebooks

To all intents and purposes, a bloody great weed.

I absolutely love trees, and I get quite irate when they get cut down. One of the aspects of life with which I most often find myself most at odds with my fellow man is that I'm not really a fan of the tidy garden. I like to see a bit of biodiversity knocking about the gaff, and to that end I welcome the somewhat overgrown hedge, am pro the bit of lawn left to run riot, and, most of all, very anti cutting down trees. I love the things, habitat, provider of shade, easy on the eye, home to the songbirds that delight the ear at dawn, the best alarm clock of all. To me, cutting a naturally growing tree down is an act of errant vandalism, as well as monumental entitlement, it's been around longer than you. So, this being the case, let me say this. The public outcry over the felling of the tree at Sycamore Gap is sentimental, overblown nonsense, and the fact that the two men found guilty of it have been given a custodial sentence is completely insane. Prison? For cutting down a Sycam...

Oh! Are you on the jabs?

I have never been a slender man. No one has ever looked at me and thought "oh, he needs feeding up". It's a good job for me that I was already in a relationship by the early noughties as I was never going to carry off the wasted rock star in skinny jeans look. No one has ever mistaken me for Noel Fielding. This is not to say that I'm entirely a corpulent mess. I have, at various times in my life, been in pretty good shape, but it takes a lot of hard work, and a lot of vigilance, particularly in my line of work, where temptation is never far away. Also, I reason, I have only one life to live, so have the cheese, ffs. I have often wondered what it would be like to be effortlessly in good nick, to not have to stop and think how much I really want that pie (quite a lot, obviously, pie is great), but I've long since come to terms with the fact that my default form is "lived-in". I do try to keep things under control, but I also put weight on at the mere menti...

Inedible

"He says it's inedible" said my front of house manager, as she laid the half-eaten fish and chips in front of me, and instantly I relaxed.  Clearly, I observed, it was edible to some degree. I comped it, because I can't be arsed arguing the toss, and I want to make my front of house's lives as simple as possible. The haddock had been delivered that morning. The fryers had been cleaned that morning. The batter had been made that morning (and it's very good batter, ask me nicely and I'll give you the recipe some time). The fish and chips was identical to the other 27 portions I'd sent out on that lunch service, all of which had come back more or less hoovered up, we have have a (justified, if I do say so myself) very good reputation for our chips. But it was, apparently, "inedible". When it comes to complaints, less is more. If you use a hyperbolic word like that, I'll switch off, you've marked yourself as a rube, a chump, I'm not g...
