The Pizza is drunk, but where are the fish fingers?

Viper or hyper

is on my digestive speculations

Doing the shrinkwalk

the plank-count or no account

that I always wanted

and now it wantsme by

select but no collect

given what I know why

when what have you and wot not

isn't enough to go, avoid or repeat

blanket eat until you're hungry

drink everything and nostrils can help

dines out, eats in

spew in the taxi

on the footy brandy

beating words like 'gall' and

'finishing leftovers'

that requires sleeplessness

that chips away

at dreams and leaving tips

of detritus like reataurantitus

where level playing fields

isn't for Lords

that blindspots of play balls

not paying bills

when drunk spends too much time rehydrating

beneath the belt and before

the watershed off

stammers and every other filibuster

so why would I jog? to avoid the trees

that grow whilst I age without any branches that

litter-spread the the diasporic leaves browned by acorns

you and us USA or oz with a Scottish accent

relief or chance it fool of tax works

on why easy on the brush of marj

so the why money is the more inconsistent currency than requited love overnight

makes the most out of it by a sleeplessness that can work

or is dreamlessness too demanding when you can't remember what you didn't dream of....

so your head imagines away and your body remains in the past

with or without the days shades of overlensed vanity that's just out of focus

and never covers the distance

proper and ready

purges regurges a bespoke carpet

of full spectrum of vertical choke-poetry

sandwich of mutual decorations

because the pizza is drunk, and where are the fish fingers ?
