Snake hose primrose yellow runs meanderless
through thick savannah and potato patch
prairie beside grike-weeded barren footpath.
To the east of the picket line, fowl prowl,
looking out for grain and grub beneath a bathroom sky.
Last night, in the wee small hours, Paws visited.
This morning, I return the blessing and shed a lidful.
Today,
the Irrational Community,
lurch to bomb bad Syrup:
pissing off
Hexbollocks and Purrshah,
And wake up in bed with Al Capone.
Mulberry Bush Obama spins.
Gnostics, Coptics, and Cardtricks bluff and bully:
‘Come on in, the slaughter’s warm this season!’
Misty Frackington-on-Gass
resounds to the gunfire crackle;
Badger, set, and batch.
A Chinese boy weeps blood from hollow sockets
his eyes lay gouged out unseen before him on soft, red clay.
Yesterday there was a Dream
Today there is a Nightmare
