a row of buttons

down her front

bring small bills — transhumans won’t make change

mounds

of plastic bags all that is known

of that race

Generation Ten ate all the steel

dust and scrub,

yet this can smells of

iridium

a lark’s song

and she wakes – it’s just a dream

of Earth

through leafmould sapphires burn: Seventh Life

early dawn –

windshields clear of

ammonia frost

next up to bat… Homo habilis

this place of red,

turning… the first of

many worms

when sulphur flows

down living rock,

remember me

The five stages of middle age

I

Matisse,

in his forties,

was years before his peak.

So what’s the rush? I’ve still got loads

of time.

II

Bastard!

that young pipsqueak

doesn’t deserve that car.

I raced Mustangs when he played with

Hot Wheels.

III

Okay,

I’ll lose some weight,

and switch to light beer too.

I’ll show my old lady I’ve still

got it.

IV

Hang on,

maybe there’s a way.

If I could sell this place…

Dammit, what’s the use, who am I

kidding?

V

Ali –

he missed his chance

at gradual decay.

Strange to picture him living to

my age.

out of

the matter pod: a parfit

gentil knight

the Sibyl speaks: silos start to rise

  Ful worthy was he in his lordes werre,
  And therto hadde he riden (no man ferre)
  As wel in Cristendom as hethenesse,
  And ever honoured for his worthinesse.

tick

the mountains crumble

tick

you come back to me

my bad: one more anthracite fruitcake

what the heck are those things in my ash pan?
