| L'Abime  after Pascal
 for SM
 
 Instead of taking for granted
 things, heavenly can be a shed
 or torture until nearly dead,
 my hands turning sandy and red
 
 infinity not far away
 in a denying light of day.
 I ref. Highbury underground.
 Hour thirty, my mind unsound.

 Lineside Lunch
 
 Camden Junction, ante Primrose
 Hill Tunnels, arching Ancient Rome,
 seen from the bank Nature Reserve
 poignant below Adelaide Road,
 which is never Regent's Park Road.
 By a dew pond, I could meet toad.
 
 April 27th/May 6th
 
 Alexandra Palace East (3)
 
 From Pond Walk, a rose-bush in sky.
 You gaze up, higher, do not cry
 on a bench of desolation
 which is not at eastern Clymping,
 the purity cerulean.
 I return on The Viaduct
 beneath Muswell Hill, due Highgate
 the panorama outstanding.
 The train from Finsbury Park, gone.
 East, The Bower House, Havering.
 
 April 28th/May 6th
 
 MI9 i.m. Suez, The GDR
 
 Above M15, MI6
 CIA, from Nineteen hundred.
 They, idiotic on both.
 We needed to murder Nasser ;
 had a tamp role for Honecker.
 Washington loathed Empire froth.
 We wanted Germany sundered ;
 we knew a great deal of tricks.
 For my angry MI Father,
 Suez remained a dirty broth.
 He had gone with Montgomery
 from North Africa, to Trieste ;
 died from a perpetual cough
 in Sussex, after Germany.
 
 April 29th/May 6th a Sonnet
 
 La Famille Royale
 
 Why did they deride The Wasteland ?
 Of their realm ; lay panned out of hand.
 There was more than Raj India,
 Australia and Canada.
 Eliot sipped Bavaria ;
 The Times thought the work 'not British'
 and attacked the quotes from Wagner.
 In 1922, a stew.
 The Cambridge Monarchy : relish !
 
 April 29th/May 7th
 
 MI9 Fundamentum
 
 Ralph objected to CND.
 He knew the value of big bangs.
 We have to retain Rhodesia.
 Ralph wept at lost Tanganyka ;
 yearned the value of Mail Gold.
 Another Flag down, I got a card.
 
 Lauderdale Lawn South
 
 By mid-afternoon, baking
 the little dogs barking, scampering
 and I, hot, Midsummer reading.
 
 April 29th (D Walcott 1981)
 
 Surrey Salsa  after Betjeman
 
 Never go pontificating
 but you can go crapulating.
 Each Sunday roast begs aerating
 
 after all that salivating
 to hearty The Road House rating.
 They hosted afternoon mating.
 
 Just no end to the cavorting !
 A good chap has to be sporting
 crazy for bountiful toasting !
 
 Breezy at Epsom, not Esher
 where you will not find Vanessa.
 What kind of girl runs in Surrey ?
 
 Sally, coupling, wins to rally
 preferring bed to The Ballet.
 
 April 29th/May 7th
 
 Advising Harvard
 
 When did you reach Derek Walcott ?
 Do you teach proper etiquette
 and deportment ? or, the grotesque
 for uglification ? Your debt
 to Albion bans the non-Esq.
 rebellion against beauty,
 and the photo apeing Nazi.
 Anglo-American, protest !
 for a loyalty manifest.
 I understood for the sublime
 and a classic conquest of time.
 Derek sang for Ocean, for Homer
 and of fish swimming in grammar.
 
 April 29th/May 8th
 
 May 2
 
 Hazy blue and sultry the day.
 Many just want to run away,
 with no hope of a holiday.
 
 I would love to roll in the hay
 for her glory, less negligee.
 Dare she say : I was a good lay.
 
 And will I be in her in-tray.
 With luck, we saunter to a bay
 and strip to frolic in pure spray.
 
 Anno 1992
 
 My target : to prove Oxford wrong
 with Lit. Reviews banging a gong.
 On he, master of modern song
 and the latest coming along.

 Lying Woman, Couple, May
 for SM
 
 They should be granted one Statement
 only, sworn and signed, and given
 to the Defence immediately,
 subject to Laws re Perjury.
 Her first one, thrown out by Holborn.
 Months later, a second one ; she
 took a three hundred and sixty
 degree turn on her positioning,
 that, with no Defence interview,
 never made it to a Charge sheet.
 Yet a lying couple got Court
 at Highbury, a Judge to scream.
 She/they guilty of Perjury
 but no prosecution, to date.

 Frame Up : Clue Narrative
 for SM
 
 A little local difficulty
 involving dog walking, Gabby
 and Coco, a Tunisian stray
 barking at my hat in The Park
 et al. Holborn Police threw out
 their sex narrative, for a charge
 told by an angry dude husband
 from December 2015.
 Three months later, they, rebooted
 were picked up on by Hogan-Howe,
 Commander MET HQ UNITS
 driven by a lust for revenge
 at Colonel Guy Long, and Scargill
 neutered. Family, SHAEF, NATO.
 
 Nb A Highbury Hearing had case
 listed brought by MET HQ UNITS.
 May 9th for pair of Case Sonnets
 
 Dissent Crusher
 
 All hopeless wrong with Albion
 so, damning dissent is iron
 on a hope of remedy
 on the road to a sanity,
 even with a hot bulldozer
 to benefit the thought crusher.
 What say they on the rush hour.
 
 Surrey Jingles
 
 jingle jangle, get the spangle
 find the commercial angle,
 life is a horrible wrangle
 get the girl with a big bangle
 rampage with her in a tangle
 of avoiding the red bramble,
 never work a long preamble
 in The Surrey Hills, go ramble
 
 Disgusting, They
 
 choke in Surrey trash, bangers, mash
 and cause the broken landscape gash
 in which will sound many a smash
 from a multiplying car crash
 after a blinding windscreen flash.
 
 Yours Ever
 
 The early disgusting crave in
 Surrey, jam a stinking bin
 drink wanting to go for a spin
 on the way to the looney-bin,
 without any concept of sin.
 
 God Does Not Will
 for Sadiq Khan
 
 Abomination in Barking
 argue for laziness, not win.
 Won't even empty a bin.
 God is not a full begging tin.
 In The Creek, no sight of a fin.
 
 Going Fishing
 
 Jesus taught multiplication
 farming a Sea into Ocean.
 Life is perpetual motion
 and staying in circulation.
 A later creed : for expulsion.

 At Fenton
 
 Does the draping wisteria
 above a bench make you wistful ?
 Lady Bingham had 'a fistful'.
 There, if I am miserable
 freshening to euphoria.

 Coronation Atonement
 
 Keen, at Westminster Cathedral
 for not comporting The Nicene.
 Or, at St Paul's, like a madrigal.
 
 Dystopian PM
 
 The streets are crawling with vermin
 to the horror of Vera Lynn.
 
 Viva Dagenham !  for Dick
 
 Father came to prefer Sandie
 Shaw, prancing, to dreary Vera.

 MI9 Ruling  for VE Day
 
 My stern father, revisited
 roared, at The Dining Room Table
 at me, as a strung teenager
 ( and he could be terrifying )
 The greatest thing a man could do
 was to die for King and Country.
 I had been a crack .22 shot
 winning prizes on The Rifle
 Range, but could not try for Sandhurst
 or game at Tennis or cricket
 much to his peerage discomfort
 being asthmatic. So, Art School.
 To him, most people played the fool.
 Years on : joined his SOE rule..
 
 May 8th/May 15th
 
 Herford Not Hereford
 
 As a BAOR Commander
 of our key Headquarters in North-
 Rhine Westphalia, for Lancer
 mounts, core NATO, he once held forth
 to me he had left his Command
 too early, and then had 'no brand'
 to speak of, in a West Sussex
 grooving to the '60s and sex.
 Worse still, come nineteen seventy
 getting ill, off West Germany
 and a taking them by the hand
 as a 9th/12th Royal Lancer.
 Due a couplet : he missed order,
 and had left to please my mother.
 
 May 15th 11 am one draft mostly
 BAOR=British Army of The Rhine.
 West Germany joined Nato in 1955.
 Arms captured by Montgomery c.
 1945 were un-cached, kept stored.
 
 Certain Wildfires
 after Mark Ford
 
 Like a Molotov cocktail
 or cocktails, after the pina
 colada, on the much-honoured
 Terrace Kardashian, absurd
 in a way ; and a view thereof.
 Now we have a part rhyme for tov
 wondering about the arson,
 drinking the writers' Bourbon.
 From there, bombing the peasant
 of the uber-rich unpleasant
 a cocktail in the garden.
 Dead at the front gate, their warden.
 Peasant America, revenge
 until labouring the syringe.
 
 May 9th/May 20th oh, poor Alsatian
 
 After Wordsworth
 
 The Churchyard among the Mountains
 pitied by some, for a making
 insane, to a delirium
 of transport, and heighty wonder
 can alter to a divine hum.
 
 May 11th
 
 May Roll
 
 Day after sunny day, upon day
 can make the troll mind go daisy.
 There are buttercups for the soul.
 We do not want a radio.
 Some like sucking on a Polo.
 
 May 12th/May 20th
 
 Joinery Joined
 
 Just a particular angle
 of the light needed for repair
 and then we go from there, angel
 for healing in more lucid air.
 
 No time for sugary Schubert
 or for dying in a culvert,
 lost on the way to a Concert.
 We are no longer so troubled.
 
 Ancor Non Nato
 
 Italian for not yet born.
 Ukraine, of the defender shorn.
 Of mid Atlantic, freedom born
 and the flag of tyranny torn.
 The men leaving, women lovelorn
 with everyone become a pawn.
 Much defending is a posture
 to give an aggressor terror.
 
 May 12th
 
 The London Perspective
 
 This is for New England Harvard
 in case of query in a yard.
 Every Jew in America
 subject, The Roman Empire.
 How did a King let his consort
 fornicate with a dud Muslim ?
 She paid the price for her treason.
 Rome : key ruler in Washington.
 
 Shameless In Washington
 
 Rich, retrograde, White House Jewry
 must bow down to The Papacy.
 
 Question De Notre Jour
 
 How to stop breeding in Barking
 without having to go fishing ?

 May Joke For Starmer
 
 If you want to join the EU,
 teach Albion proper English.
 ( Duffle coat Armitage, a duffer
 deadly for Beatlemania. )
 An Exporter of gibberish
 has product garbled beyond view.
