goes off
The second last line
of the story was your
thirty thousand
bodies brown
all tense
in shelters
beneath the waked
Fire Mountain
while hob-nobbers cut-price
johnnies ladies haired in henna red
over-packers bargain-getters
pictured
leaning fingers out
on the counters
at the airport
look here
look here
the story how
the white people
got stuck on holiday
when the ash flew
and the molten rock
began to inch
towards your
life chickens
clothes
furniture
your school
was all above
your head
ah the over-packers!

ReplyDeletevery topical
I've never been
old hippy friends
who were there 45 years ago
say don't bother
still I figure they know
something I don't
about concentrated trouble
in a very small place
so I just might go
someday
