Steve Hanson
Big
A splob coupled with a full stop
Ejection is injection, mort
Nothing
little about the shaking twitching dear heart
Sick-unf sick-unf sick-unf
cardithunk cardiathunk
fibriflutt flutt flutt flutt
‘Skull fly to feathers’ said Jeff
attack describes best how it looks
Rubber bag filled with blood
no, skull gone leaving a peach
stiffened up with some bone
Sock, ceiling, sweat, belly pullup
The end of futures futures
How many noughts in a gazzilion?
I know nothing,
ALL OF THEM!
Then there will be no nothings left in the world
There will be no nothings ess
Know nothing zuzz zuzz zuzz
I don’t talk to anyone about anything
and I don’t talk to anyone
about not talking to anyone about anything
I don’t talk to no-one about nothing
