Plan for tonight (Sessional Haiku)

Straight home from working

I'll double drop sertraline

and The Arran Malt

A sample bottle

I got for Christmas one time

Then 'The three S's'

Dressing sharp tonight

Although nothing too fancy

Bailey's Hot Chocolate

Manchester Markets

Pork sandwiches, alcohol

And chocolate fruit treats

We're starting nearby

in the Slug and Lettuce bar

then wandering round.

Party time later

Manchester Cool Bars and Clubs

will be in Voodoo

Wednesday night clubbing

Birdcage student night, can't wait

So please get involved!

Expect a writeup

later in the week, Friday

Anyway, must go

Artisan

A concrete waffle

above my head, cherry red

floors, plush warehouse bar.

Overdoing it on Deansgate Locks

Purple neon glows

behind the comatose girl

routine police work

Drunk Man's Origami

Friday night's dawn streets

folded ATM receipt?

Crumpled ten pound note.

Take the Hint

She's not texting back.

A meaningless reminder:

Forgotten hairpin

We've all been there

Finding the balance

between being drunk enough

and plain ol' too drunk.

Urbanite

Outside, the slate sky

Contrasts the lush greenery

Potted, by my desk

2263

They keep the last pair,

praying the beauties will breed

Lillian's lovebirds

2262

Sentry lasers fire

rock and ice dot the blazed sky

Incoming comet!

2261

Colossus bursts up

fast through the ecliptic plane

Milky Way below

2260

Gravity engine

alien-malware-damaged

coffee cup pivots

2259

Living the high life

on floor nine hundred and twelve

not seen ground for weeks

2258

Glassy cityscape

completely digital sky

advertising board

2257

A generation

sent to live in Proxima:

colonisation

2256

Horsehead Nebula

plays backdrop to dire warfare

allegiances torn

2255

Behind Io they wait,

vast weaponry for the task:

storming Jupiter

2254

Immense juggernaut

coated in dense spider's silk

launches for warfare

2253

Cargo jettisoned

deep-space raiders on their tail

the distraction fails

2252

Structural weakness

hull breach docking at Pluto

awful tragedy

2251

Landing pad: his heart

spacecraft: large, long forgotten

he knows she's on board.
