1239

fault my logic －

a dare

(notes for a novel)

the last democracy

our island

how they flock

pass go

collect

read my lips

and

make my day

we really are the best

but there are doubters, even here

we scoff

we laugh to scorn

so many come

we must be cruel

isn’t this island just for us?

if not we’re gone as well

then where on earth will we go?

I love your skin

and long to get in

all my friends are here

some are furry

some are bald

aren’t we pure and true?

aren’t we just the best in the world?

won’t you sing with me?

some shave

and some let go

before the cock crows three times

it’s not what you believe

it’s what they ask me

come to the well

let’s argue

whose water (?)

just for instance

how good we are

how kind

and counting

puzzle it up with

numbers just

eternity itself

bears witness

they pass go

and we collect

it was then we found

the hair on the soap

somebody would pay

ark and dove

all girt by

there is the shame of we －

an oddity of socks

the wall

press up

snout close

come to the end of the world

here’s the shadow waltz we are

a game show!

look!

you’ll never find me

best in the world

are we progressing?

we are more!

can’t see for smoke

please hold my lump

let sniff

love ordure

for its sign of life

are you on fire as well?

and what’s a bear to do?

you think I’m doing nothing

when all along I’m here
