823
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
