You cannot continue

You have asked for a security code too many times.
You must wait up to 15 minutes before trying again.

But how long must we wait for the change
of the season, a changing of the guard
or a minor change of heart. These are
not the same not the same

You have asked for a security code too many times.
Do not make repeated attempts during this time.

But how long must we wait
How long! How long! You must wait
up to 15 minutes before trying again.

Have you tried another browser?
If you try again now you will be
locked out for another 24 hours.

You have requested too many codes.
You have triggered an automated security cooldown.
You must wait up to 15 minutes before trying again.

But I don't want to wait, I want it now
I want to go now, I must have it now.
I will not wait for 24 hours. Yes I've
cleared cache and cookies

Have you received your 2-Step Verification code?
Have you tried incognito mode?
I am having the exact same issue

Try again! Try again! You must wait
up to 15 minutes before trying again.

You must wait you will wait
Wait! Wait! If you can stand
to wait the moment will pass

All these moments will pass

Confessional

Of course my so-called real name is not
Lee Holloway Towers
I changed it by dead pool
around the turn of the century

After turning up at my new job
trying to fit in, making the small talk
when I'm asked point blank by
the owlish girl
'Do you write poetry?'

What an outrageous question

Of course I denied it as I would surely
have denied the Lord. What kind of a pervert
would admit to being one of those people?

Perhaps someone lacking in shame and pure of heart

Of course she'd googled the new recruit
and found some incriminating results
submissions from the earliest days of the internet

'There must be more than one of me'

A lesson was learned
a new name was gained
a fresh beast was born

Waste transfer notes

significant levels of contamination
it's the taxpayer who foots
no interest in protecting
waste producers, waste brokers
80,000 documents

no intention of complying
after a painstaking trawl
a series of boreholes
falsifying documents
the public purse
waste producers, waste brokers
and 80,000 documents

recover all of his assets
noncompliance with a permit
delve into the paperwork
it was the right result
from Lowestoft to Leeds to Liverpool
it had all the ingredients
waste producers, waste brokers
80,000 documents

provided us with waste transfer notes
convicted the site owner
proximity to the water supply
*the crown court*
to avoid paying landfill tax
thousands of inert sites but
waste producers, waste brokers
and 80,000 documents

in polluting the environment
mounted a thin defence
samples taken by consultant
illegal activity
incriminating evidence
one of the more feeble excuses
hazardous materials
the conditions of the permit
unsuitable, unlined
waste producers, waste brokers
80,000 documents

the cost of building a new reservoir
the outright lying
blinded by greed
*reconstruction*
toxic chemicals
he was turning a tidy profit
eventually, he pleads guilty
+this site is currently closed+

waste producers, waste brokers
80,000 documents
and it's unusual to see
custodial sentences
for environmental offences

Car and Girl

I remember when       we were driving
driving in your car      yes we were driving
                                driving in your car
       like this moment now here   
       now    there        could never end

In a blue Ford Mustang 5.0 GT
four speed automatic, Virginia plates
cruise control and everything

We were driving and singing
laughing and riding
just like young lovers
just like real people do

This was before your drinks were spiked
and my face got rearranged

Bad Weather for Ducks

All the lame ducks were swimming in the waters of your mucky wake

So you became the magnetic collector of hamstrung mallardians

Claimed you never meant to hook them off the dusty shelf

Then why did you travel to the lonely fairground


You pleaded you didn't mean to lead them down dead end paths

But did you not hover around their nesting grounds

Did you not breed a feeble trail of crumbs

To keep them waddling deeper down the narrows


Please perverted piper don't deny how you trapped them

In the oily waters of your filthy slipstream

No time to wipe them clean or listen to their wounds

Or even scoff at their lame and injured quackeries


Kid yourself you were only waiting

for the golden goose

and the magic egg

and the holy barnyard

Silent Pop

After being fully cured of brain weevils
his brave and tortured feet trod meaningfully if not
magnificently towards the shopping mall
ready at last for the arcade of abundance

When a dancing sphere not quite
lighter than air but certainly greener and fatter
bounced along the road beside him
he recognised a portent as well as the next ape

Should he adopt it, or release it
back into the nearest ocean?

It swerved into the road and survived strikes
from not one but two vehicles before
silently popping beneath a third

It was certainly like something but what
