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

Creepy old men

I note, somewhat wearily, that creepy old men are back in the news, being creepy. Creepy old men, and their apologists and enablers, who argue that their creepiness is somehow the natural order of things. Old men would have you believe that it is difficult to not be a creepy old man. That it is a task of epic proportions. It is not that difficult. It is a matter of intention. As yet more of the grimness of Epstein unfolds, creepy old men are, sadly, a flaccid topic once again. Whether it be pursuing students thirty years their junior, or simply not asking too many questions about the background of the probably legal young woman who you've just been introduced to by your good pal Jeff. To be clear, I am not referring to criminal creepy old men, the ones who actually committed statutory rape, the ones who fucked trafficked hirls. That is not something which is allowed to get away merely with the contempt of the observer.  That deserves prison.  No , I'm referring to the hinterla...

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...

The daftest complaint I ever had

I have written here several times down the years about customer complaints, both justified and idiotic. Working in hospitality they are an ineivitability. No matter how good you are, how consistent, you will get complaints. Very few of them stick in the memory, but some, by virtue of their extreme idiocy, do. And one popped into my mind as I was plating up a dish this lunchtime, and I thought, why not, it's as good a thing to write a blog about as any. It's also an entertaining example of how events can play out in ways you may not expect at the time. It sticks in the mind as it combined stupidity with a petty malice and venality which leaves me with no qualms about taking the piss out of it publicly. I rarely let bad reviews lie, if I feel they're unfair I might demur, if I feel they're reasonable I'll make a point of apologising. If they're stupid I'll take pleasure in replying very politely. This one got ignored. It happened on a Sunday, which is another ...
