Grimbeau

really quite remote
barren archipelagos
Warts, nomads, bunions
carbuncles & verukas
Diver plunges in
Splosh!

‘Come out of there!’
Loud came the stern reply
‘Not on your Nelly!’
‘Leave my Nelly out of this.’

 
Democracy drives yo proper crazy

Roller Skaters glide
on dried up cripple creeks
ambulances circulate
half-buried yellow Thunderbirds
poking wings out of true blue sand

long hair blowing in the wind
Whoosh!
