A poem a week for 2012 - a record of a year in the life of...


Maudlin - Give that man a pasty...


Maude - are you not
yet bored, by the
poor woman who 
exploded herself, 
not as picaresquely 
as Bunbury but 
more effectively
over her kitchen floor
A person fills up petrol tanks at a petrol station in Linlithgow - in a puff of smoke 
as Jerry lay in pieces
smouldering embers
by the door,
lured in by your
indiscretions?

Are you proud to be 
the whoreson, moron
defying all'n'sundry
as your country bickers
A shut petrol station in Brighton.and bites, hideously
snipes at strangers
fighting over last rights
draining pipes, 
nostrils flaring, 
fumes rising, 
panic buying, 
wholesale scrambling, 
queuing, booing 
shouts in the House
on mammoth
foolish doing? 

About turn? Back down?
Not our way! 
Keep the country moving?
Backfired wholesale
...Unite?!

Which buggers now will pay?
Will you, Maude?
