Alley Loo Yeah Chorus, continued



what wakes do cost-so-dearly dead prefer
not mawkish crying over spilt milk
feral cats can lap upand proliferate

who z watchin over
yr poached deserts
yr admonitory plagues
yr inimitable wilderness wasted

what avail yer sacrifices n monuments
what suffices
not stilted billboard atlas world-on-shoulders muscle-flexing
gone to head

what fork-branched lightning blasts three o-pinioned stool
into tyburn tree

snakeeyes n black deuces never thrown for loss
take credit
while flush-in-hand cardinal sinners
ladling brimstone-n-treacle to yr reproachable innocents
refuse own medicine
and human predators exhibit ancestral bones
as honourable obitsproof f profession
will indignant dna exercise tangential option
reject gimmekrieg mission
scatter wild cards in retaliation

saints n sinners
both cocksure
in deal with nemesis
would turn up trumps from own marked deck

our prodigy Tad
stoolbound
squats
pantomime f puckered irony
ogling likewise bivouacked bunkers
recollects dynasties turn sour
erasing bets
what suffices
when wars f roses smell like bookend latrines
touché eliminating unpaid last respects

cry we alley loo inspectorz chours
cry we ebb n flow lavages
flesh n blood cant stand
cry we flushing beaches
janitorial Job-job
sand-n-water cleansing formula
hasn't got in hand
cry we alleyloud: 'ware!

cry we bareheaded
cry we bootless
cry we salt tears
cry we grains f sand

storm flaunts big innings
comes to terms with commoner front
swollen colon vents anarchic fart
aplomb settles on virtual stool
negating momentum
pendulum swings alley oop to hail mary
tadz hung-up exemplar
providentially stalled en route to pandemonium


frugal aint hairshirt
exhilaration aint prodigal
ice warms up to fluid
lets off steam without losing composure
in free state
yr model ebb n tide alley hoopla
or vices versa


carnivalley pitch
cry up yr bigtop gala n fete
strawberry tea to follow
galaxy z newfun coney island
arcade f follies n spoils ultraglobetheatre
come see comme ça simulacrum f what y dare


galaxy z untethered cow
pluckin lazily on tongue-length grasses
danglin new-fangled tits f'r breakfast
galaxy z coded missal f orizons thrown
hail mary parabolayeah across blue yonder basilica
galaxy z astronomers rubberneckin
cadaverz freak oversize orifice with speculum


carnivalley sirens call
yo ho heave ho
m' tads n bullyboyz
row milky main
beat across bar
graspin telescope nelson-wise
ridin rods upstairs
on backs f curiouser bods


alley chorus sighs
stars z us'n prison shroud r caul


jeremymad replies
stars z immaculate bowery
n we z unteaseled weedy mockery f eden

godz chillun got feet
can choose
even if godz chillun
aint got shoes
hammered thumbz expletive shout
shatters natal assumptionz dearth f doubt
where certainty meets nexus up
threatening status quotas
plushcan-o-crats sit on restive movements
defyin alleloo lawz worshipful excremental duty

sully me none
with yeahwayz initials
supplicantz apostrophe n apochryphal spout
alladinz lamp dont pour
quick buff works miracles f genial light
wicked snakeeyes stays mumchance
strolling down storyroad finicky heroes abandon

where upright n orizontal assemble
there hunkers three-limbed animal
wouldbecomehuman
knotted before pelagian excursion

dreadful crux is
what z wisdom

Tad wonders
wisdom z less-simple made plain, ain it
not to multiply ignorance
take good n bad
polar opposites
which iz antipodes
depends whether view from pulpit or pew
what to believe
horsez mouth r horsez arse
both iz equinoxious
elision f virtues non pareil to non plus

Tad wonders
readin providential palm
crossed with silver
like visage lined for laughter n care
wearin veil
bought to nod

imagine great screechin glass bowl f dome
give me your huddled masses
turntabled into proper howligans
pristine maidens
garden-grown in row
cavort on artificial grass
plump behinds
becomin bosoms
persecutionz witnesses
striped umpire sets foxes on run
hounds in pack pursue
ballthrowin solution to salvation
TV hall f fame passes
modified coups de grace
attenuated doses f harm by gridiron

fishful gulls
n deliberate bees
serial kicks by foetuses
n bolivar-revolutionary waves
fistful 'f teat babies
n ingratiatin disease
sorrowful
we walk in carrion
alleylewdyeahway born
toeholding on wastage
tuppenny blood n thunder degradations
bred of these splendours

take carnal oath
lend ears curses
fist nose bloody
bullybruise eyes black

sully me none with shibboleth
yr teasy-pleasy hairshirts
yr pins n needles
'f hot-to-trot confessions
yr journal distempered chatter
roundelay 'f likeably bad news

disregard contretemps
we z miscreants
whilst heaven calls roll up yonder
snakeeyes rubs bones to stop run
pray motherhood may belly-up to womb
lest foetus wants out before travail

yr wholesale disaster
yr lethal puckerlips kiss by judas
yr cracks in kingdome come
are yr worldz phantom contractions
n gestation period
princely vulcanic joke

idolatry-wise
your true-blue believers
resent nice exception
prove lookalikes
most hate least distortion
funfair mirrors fake capital horror

caught redhanded
pushing consorted angels off pinhead
snakeeyes shakes in belly-laughter

take yr tatter f fact tramp gadfly
yr commoner phenomenon
waistcoat f stale fish n chip wrappers
recyclin otiose newspaper
promises n misgivins
sleeps raggedy-ann under bridge
builds cardboard palaces
against witless hardihood
walks á propos cloud f otherz apprehensions
falls short
has shortest fall
heroes most dare
invite most tumbledown
unalike yr jack n jill
booby hale fellow who cant hold water
or yr double fiddle di dee scaredy crows
or yr cracked egghead aitch dee
served up
scrambled on toast
for royal breakfast

alleyby sez
who'z squeaky clean
no hazard dares
shushes discomfort
brooks no mean
no wonder Christopher Robin
without evil intent
caught in middle
dittoes his prayers
godz lucky chillun got eyes in head
godz plucky chillun bite tongue
some digs orizons fer breakfast
some ill-defined get swung
some fly bold
some sail high
some z lack o'pinioned
some hide in closet from wind

tadz alleybylaw sez:
'll gurgeon m'seln on fishman
like yer whale r salmonm'lady
coddle m'seln till'm fullma'am
do no harm to any but'n m' preysir
ancient under oversee ritual bellyflung
slaughter n prayerm'dear
tastes sweet to some
to some dour
albeit to lookers-on
ain we bullygods b' rightshumble gentle person!

alley lullaby lady

wearied child
lies at feet
shy alleyway lady
unshouldering load
makes heart weep
tears like petals fall
astrew on road
stars their loyal watch
brightly will keep
shy 'f hullabaloo lady
mend in sleep

prose hymn to alley yeahway

out of otherwhen came forth exultation ...
out of seminal egg came forth hatchling
out of cheeping chick came forth clucking hen
out of cackling hen came forth cocksure rooster
out of coxcomb rooster came forth flibbertigibbet hen
out of begats came forth lame egg rolling
out of lamentation came forth ugly duckling
out of puddling duck came forth swaddling cygnet
out of waddling cygnet came forth elegant swan
out of elegiac swansong came forth rapture
out of otherwhen came forth exultation ...

how many fractured bits can brain juggle
mind-boggling kaleidoscape gives us fits
dismiss putative genius machine
analytical engine cant handle contrary witz end

apposing miniscus in peristaltic tube

alley jest supposes:
wish-on-a-star risk
salvation by degree or decree
aint no noble savage manimality to save us
nor godlinexus tween earth n heaven
pray for magnumanity
we iz free to be what we iz to be
free of our own apronstrings
if to be human z inhuman
n to go ape z divine

resident alley filosopuss spits ox off tongue
onto barrelhead

flouts landlord with single-minded salute
disrespectinrite-n-propertied gallantry
cross-purpose malefactoring
later consummate address

alley green thumb rules extend y
chess knight moves bent like legs f athletes
refractory can be canny advocacy

examine limb as patent crook
limited animal enjoys joint cooperation
articulation tangential asset
machine can wipe own arse
peeper can fetch bum through looking glass
limber coupling to strangerself
schitzy split extended into
by hook or by crook
with the corollary: i'll be first in my book
cutting off friendly hand in exchange for
prosthetic gauntlet

roses bred for comely face
leads to ditto noses
as inference perforce
rounds off supposes
