Hanging Loose

I’m gonna make myself a lazy matrix

And catch myself some flies

Hang upside down from rhubarb leaves

And watch the world go by

I’m gonna weave myself a silky hammock

Hang loose all afternoon

Luxuriate in motionless ness

Feel the whole world swoon


I wanna gorge myself on giant greenfly

Drink sticky sweet green tea

Anaesthetise an aphid

It sounds quite nice to me

I’ll spin myself a lacy mattress

Let my bloated guts unswell

If you’ve got nothing worse to do

You can hang around as well


I’m gonna read the news on oak leaves

Watch the tall grass sway

Converse with passing strangers

And agree with everything they say

I’ll let the sunshine warm my fibres

Let the rain wash me clean

I’ll make myself a lazy matrix

And dream a spider’s dream.

Hi Horace,
nice to see you back.
I bloody hate spiders but you're such a nice guy.
I've had a go at being a subject of a poem, i enjoy experimenting in this sense.
Nice one, it has some humour with leafy images and i even saw a drainpipe and there isn't one mentioned in the poem. That has to be good.
