Future Memoirs
short2

A fanciful politician wears a tutu called shame
 1
and screams beige alert to the masses.
 2
My indicisiveness is a bi-product of my incestuous ancestors
 3
whom quaffed at Socrates in the morn
 4
and decapitated Marx in the dusk of our pointless quander.
 5
 
 
The cow tongue wandered aimlessly through daggers of rope
 6
and toilet bowls full of humour to seek the invisible cat
 7
that sings to the clawless panther of love
 8
and asks,
 9
"What sheperd would herd a murder of crows
 10
until the time brought nigh but grief and sorrow
 11
to the village of clown and jester?"
 12
 
 
Jello Biafra weeps at the sights of merciful Greek gods
 13
giving away promotional CD's at the yoga clinic in Central Park.
 14
 
 
This time is the era of undercapitalised and overanalysed,
 15
wander of a man who cannot dive beneath the impervious ceiling of reality. Daft.
