These Days
October 07, 2020
Grand feathers dress democracy; we have it: pass the railings
On chancy feet to work a dodge, who eat slick sluicing oysters,
Console around rat-droppings popping payslips;-
These considered windy days of many turnings
A landfill quarter squanders to its own dismissal
Shadow walkers milling in an abjects’ den
Scheduling on no schedules; liquor taken pathogen
Soothes interludes; blind drunkenness their views occluding
Cash, lavish cash, brings comatose the racket runners
Cuddles, which cruddle till ill recitals feel like home
Compost collaterals draw they from a soma-sown detritus
With famous ticket labels:
The cords of the world that bind, draw scars refinedly
In dislocations wrists twist crippled, scarred for money
Clasps cannot cup, as drizzle upwards pools sanguine
In circles glints, who squint on pints, embezzle
Converted piecework labour in their favour bled
Clap-irons, in megatons, make strangle power crack
Concert impressions, hard oppressions, squeeze the juices
Forcers of way connive, shirt laundromat the system
Exhausts over engines negotiate the peopled roads
Rosters like roller-coasters crash and centrifuge
Hassling the crews, the queue of lubbers, crude compound the treatment
Providing, supporting half a camel’s butt-end’s worth
Of contribution: summary – a trace, a trickle
Conquistadors indoors have claimed for bodgers; as Cortez
Claimed, and for Spain obtained, grossed greedily,
From same-in-name, inane, untaught constituencies
For robber politicians’ cantraip party games
Forget us here; make documentary smear,
Trite semiotic blear, – insult the coming history
