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 ?
