That was not a Pipe

shocking-old-photos-28

So, farewell Tony Benn,

wild eyed scion of socialist stuff,

that was not really a pipe,

it was surreal

like lobster telephones,

and soggy clocks.

My mate Terry always

mistook you for Dennis Skinner,

but you were thinner on top.

Anyway, he won’t make the same

Mistake again

I hope.

As I kick up a fuss

thrashing about

in the undergrowth

on the boundary,

my furious petulance

amusing the dog-walkers,

Tony Benn is announced dead.

Dragged Up

 

 

Bee enjoys the wild flowers

Thick fog, drooping rose…

daybreak,

soft pink sound

footpad breaking glass,

crystal chandelier smashed:

avalanche,

no wonder,

wrists swaddled

heavy

linen

watch.
