again,
the market 
never
leave the table till you're full up to the muzzle 
             - from the puddin' owners anthem
come truffles after the bear
the market is singing
we all hum along 
a kind of meatworks shame 
scoff karma 
take a pill for breakfast
and curls into a little ball 
cause who knows why?
the weather?
seasick with prediction 
and nothing to catch to shore 
cling 
raft 
buoy 
plank 
each to another animal 
sodden in the fur 
will you doubt that money was here
and later money left?
for fireworks 
which are indigestion 
here it comes 
puffing the stairs 
and at the gate 
who's this?
in among the china too 
that's the view of the market 
and never see the walls are falling 
the inescapable factory fire 
and flood 
breed brimstone 
there is no smoke but fire 
then sudden in the far 
more maw
and who's a greedy boy? 
eat up!
sees nothing in the mirror 
you won't get it open
but stand by window 
breeze for the testing 
like a diamond here for heaven
ask are we ready to fall 
bob, weave 
through traffic - get there 
ahead of the who-was-it
not-quick?
hysterics work the womb with us 
and drink this yes it's poison 
no risk that you'll retire 
toil! 
make more zigurats
dig for your life 
and it's down there then and now 
here comes the news 
all the market trembles 
soul-lessly in fear 
which is rumour 
the ship is sinking 
let's float gold 
you can buy an asteroid of the stuff
no one has ever climbed this mountain 
it cannot be known how far it goes up 
let's wish a winter dark for all 
drown the lot in some rising sea
