Performed a live studio visit with Harriet Bowman on Weds called How to Role a Tyre. You can only speak when you have the tyre, then you roll it on. The tyre was mic’ed up as well as us!

things that make you feel safe
when you don’t know how
the world works

based on lies
based on intimidation
you can’t silence the truth

he prepares his mouth to speak
his mind to encompass
his body to entreat

an unstoppable force

accidentally finding
patterns to unlock

the children come home
for an afternoon snack
Mom and Dad have a quickie
in the hay bales

the crane cries
a sound to tear
any banana leaf
it’s time to tell the children
where babies come from

on the night bus timetable
look at the moon
in and out of synch
with the laughing gas zeitgeist

when I score I get
into an untouchable

two years lost
chasing the dragon

I’ll contact you
