Kerri Shying R # 545 - do their own dirty work if killing


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

    and in the morning
