Sucking on a nostril

Appeasing my foe with

overzealous and thus

insincere, boorish

thin disatisfactory

reassurances. Bowing

scraping my most sincere

commitment to non-violent

intervention at this

watershed in the process.

 

Well, what d’you reckon they made of that?

 

Sage and prudent, perhaps

A bit gushing, retreat

In the face of hassle?

Then again there may be

Ideological or

Theological blocks.

One cannot discount

Sheer cowardice in

The face of the enemy.

Then there is the absence

Of teeth to be taken

Into consideration.

Went out for a meal

He hazarded the haggis

She indicated veal

Help!

Je suis Charlady

Swabbing the toilets

Wasting my life

Wading in detritus

Vom in the sink

Crap on the floor

Dry slime of sex

From the night before.

Treated like scum

Renting a slum

Grazing in Tesco

On a tin of Chum

Killing my time

Skinful of wine

‘Stop doing that

Or you’ll end up blind!’

Boiled eggs,

two soft boiled eggs,

four minutes sortie,

give or take a few spoonrides

for immersion and rescue –

tense moments, critical mass.

Two slices of toasted oatmeal brown:

four buttered diagonals, obtuse triangles,

bread hats for bald coolies in monsoon, torn

to shreds by bare hands for dipping soldiers

and to perform mopping up ops in egg, salt and pepper theatre.
