Working Class Earhole

FY#1

Vanguard foot slides down

exhaling hulk slips groaning

sighs under eiderdown

waves goodnight cruel world

helpless cries for help

hyena laugh & banshee howl

echo through stark night

lorry and quarry breaking

observant silence

drag chains crochet light

Most Wanton

gorgeous george

 

Georgie Gargoyle sneers

leers drools pours derision

raining scorn upon

the weak, sick, old, cold,

&

all the living and the dead

cruel salacious scabious

snooty pogrommer

Claptrap

‘we are where we at’

peculiar thing to say

do not understand…

moving on, going

forward, rushing like

gas spiral around black hole

Unction

Apply

to affected area

rub well in

when symptoms persist

insult your practitioner

Things chug-chug-chugging

along again once

train lines cleared

of oppressive leaves

other obstacles malinger:

sheer mediocrity

complacent shyness

myriad telegraph poles

Blind Tiresias

Rhythmically swaying

Iambic rapper

Muttering incantations

Committing morning verse

To pellucid memory

Ear cocked for milkmaids

Waiting enthroned in turmoil

illuminated by defeat

cherished hard won republic

brief lost earthly paradise

postponed for another eternity

another enlightenment

another bright spark

Welcome to the Working Week

01-3336

Watched

The Night Manager,

Bond movie

BBC budget,

chief female spook

played by Poet Laureate –

it’s a new dawn on a grey day.

Calmed down after yesterday’s

sugary fry-up hiatus.

Big bomb in Istanbul

Merkel on the slide.

Grinding poverty

in the national interest

the right thing to do

sarin on the streets

of Birmingham quells

public sentimentalists

welcome to the working week…

 

Go

Alethe

Do you dare go out?

Snoopers everywhere

watching every step you take

*

digit counters fall like lies

invisible drones

gauge your

intentions:

good bad or indifferent

depending on their

point of view

*

nano state anthropocene

goes to work on itself

paranoia made

real big

brother

made redundant

spending early retirement

cormorant counting

after dark midnight

*

grand inquisitor

smart phones

just stole

the joy of Going

*

ignorance is folly

when it’s wise to wise up…

Said

The slimy

Saboteur
