1400

in my dream again

the Prime Minister                 

is making a speech

from a lake, from a a pond

from a pool of tears

stands imploring

as a statue

he is saying the blame

all weep

I am heckling him

what do I mouth?

the tear flood grows

all know this is how

the drought will end

big bear in my moods I am

and what did I say?

must be I am here to haunt

be afraid

so no one can see me

and what does that make?

a spell it must be I cast

the Prime Monster

he is a water feature

cenotaph weep-along this is

the great dictator

is ice cream’s own emperor

the Drought himself

he is crocodile embroidered

holds his own balls out to us

it takes both hands and he squeezes

every boy feels his pain

hard for a crocodile these days

the tear flood grows

all know this is how

the drought will end

what wonderful things I say

if only I could remember

but they are all with him

I said

‘things catch up with us’

what else?

it must be a spell I cast

over myself

somebody sneezes, winks

all yawn

everyone’s waking up now  

my words are all the difference then

it’s a better world we make
