Grimbeau

…it is well known in curtain corners
hep cats conspire
to inhale exotic teas
frankincense & purr
& malinger simper while  milk
cools clots & condenses

in the night sacred rites..

Food? Is it Air?
Smoke? Water? Just downstairs?
–have a break from what
when you ain’t done

i’ll have you know
is a fact of military life,
remember how when

started it was small before it dwindled
to an impertinent trickle
–good old duck in orange sauce
soon gave them light industry …ie
a military  industrial  complexity

never known beforetimes
