Incident in the Lift

In the hotel lift, London
he had a tyre, 17"
Moulton, he said
I don't actually live here, he added
I live in China.
Gosh, that's a long way to cycle

Equivalence

I fear it was the conceit of heroes that turned you
– their lies
– their antipathy to the common dream
– heads and tails of the King's shilling
– Two pennies on your eyes

Rebound

I saw a way out
via trampoline
into blue
– a hatch opened

Exercise

Having sex in socks
with six saxophonists
really sucks
