Ronald
Reagan travels to the land of mangoes
for Brendan
'totally mangoed' O'Connor
Sometimes in the sky I see endless sandy shores
covered with rejoicing nation of pearl: a great golden ship, above me
multi-colour pennants flutter in the morning breeze.
Arthur Rimbaud – Farewell
the sailors slit the wind's wrists comets stuffed with glitter smash and
scatter in the sea the vacant body of
Ronald Reagan plops into the waves
Ronald Reagan where the hell is my
hamburger
Lana Turner in blue denim Lana Turner in
red denim mouth deep crazy zooming red under tunnel crashing reds bleed into
Berry Davis blue
a
carpet on the water a postcard Lana Turner qu'est ce qui vous etes devenu
marble clouds swirl six French Queens rise from the
Norman coast and whip their husbands to death eyes wide and powerful Ronald Reagan what has become of you (my
hamburger)
William the conqueror's glass fingers
Anthony crying to the asp
Julius Caesar spinning in a Nascar six French Queens rub Viagra
into Ronald Reagan's bum
resurrected!
the boat collapses
Ronald arrives at the Jersey shoreline
dripping with Nike Charlie
Baylis, waiting for him
“Ronald Reagan what a mess you made of
Vietnam! “Charlie Baylis what
a mess you are making of poetry!!
imps
gimp me ears scorched with sand I
punch Ronald Reagan in the groin I
pray for Ronald Reagan
I pray for Nancy Reagan I pray she
really loves
hamburgers

the sunset on the grass tips
the glass of champagne balanced on the
grass tips
the eggs cracking at midnight and spangling
the grass tips
the murky alleyway in Lahore
the pink lipstick on your lip
the candyfloss for breakfast
the Duke of Guadeloupe stuck in the tape
loop
the lake's fine edges submerged under the
grass tips
the invisible mistakes of Ivor Rubber
rubbing out the grass tips
the Edgar Allen Poe gallery in Marco Polo's
wristwatch
the paisley pyjamas glitched to the stern
of the mayflower by a pixie in Grimsby
the North Atlantic rising and falling like
a lap dancer's legs
the sundial scattering seeds in an asteroid
over the milk and indigo North Atlantic
the electric rainbow waves of for fucks
sake
the sunrise puking on the stain glass
windows in a Cathedral in Bethlehem, TX
the Mormon doll tip-toe tapping a Morse
code bible (8 wives! 9 lives!)
the dot dot dot
the exploitation of the female body in male
poetry
the exploitation of the male body in female
poetry
the sadness when love and exploitation
dance hand in hand
the wormholes
the X has died
the X has risen
the X will come again
the Rupert Michael Loydell explaining that
it is too late and that we will all be gone
the lack of grass tips
the where are the grass tips
the where are my fucking grass tips
the here are your grass tips

By a wreck of a crazy red in a car crash
in Paris next to Lana Turners body we
found a poem feinting on tissue paper
penned in yummy yellow pen next to blue stained denim
“
Like acid dying the stem of the rose
like light on glass in the march gales
like honey weeping into a swimming pool
like a toboggan ride down a Christmas town
like sand reaching for sand and finding sand
like a child protecting machine guns in Aleppo
the tropical storm gathers force, the air thins
the static whips, the rain rips the folded cups
the western wind bows below the eastern wind
the birds tweet for the flood has come
to the rabbit praying to the rainbow to the
Eucharist sucking Spring from six French Queens
tied
up in nots whipping the stars to death

I would encourage you to listen to this
song while reading the poem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrTGRZZuDTI
Lana Tuner's death bed poem owes a huge
debt to After the Flood by Arthur Rimbaud, the copyright holders can
come after me with knives, I will be waiting for you.
