Begone dull care | QLRS Vol. 9 No. 3 Jul 2010

after the retreating waves

as the dry-gulch plunk of his banjo

just as the cryptovirus

than i can my doppelganger

by this time next year

so composed at microscopic

if a heavy-metal band took

at times very personal

unless you believe that in casting

coupled with the burden of proof

a macular scotoma spreading

either it's the ear or the retina

upgrade to download

in the act of phishing

or simply leave a comment

if undelivered

stand here with a pitchfork

everything but the girl

a half-eaten tub of coleslaw

this midnight skinny-dipping

between me and my vineyard

i've come for you

how inappropriate

on beach strewn with spam

lest the cyborg gets to

or else the lightning

with a random symmetric key

where before it had merely probed

which used to be default

but better the occasional off-the-wall

and perhaps by absorbing

apart from the tablet

especially galling when one considers

neither super nor man

at that point it can go either way

to the sound of backdoor creaking

return to sender

add to favourites

might as well place a hex

rub pus all over

otherwise not exempted from

press play or pause

circular saw buzzing

tick off in a lip-licking list

pull the plug

kinda suits you
