I said bip
them at the roundabout
this morning and you did there’s
still the union automatically
a long link in the chain when
we were
both illegal people rummaging
in
the trick box of respectability
for this hat or that
so skilled at hiding
and illusion that there
was no room
for hobbies sport
daytime we lived in
waiting rooms
dress-ups
and the bell went for the light to fade
toughen up was the face I turned most often
to the street and to the
ones who staggered
just as fucked
along the same
canal keep your
wits about
you let the mongrels
do their own dirty work if killing
must be
done I doubt there is a
scheme
to understand how we who
are left grow old lest we forget
beside the trenches the interest-only
mortgage wellness NBN
at the going down of the wellness centre
ReplyDeleteand in the morning
we will remember them
find all sorts of things in that trick box ...
ReplyDeletealways worth a rummage
