Race is My Symbol of Control
Millions march in
step with Volkert van der Graaf -
self-righteous blood lust.

Whilome
A fable of old to fascinate and tease,
worthy of Chaucer when at his best.
With a fickle Princess in finery and pride,
with a favour seeking Prince fugitive to love.
Frost of her heart flood of his woes.
Furrow your brows, France is where it starts ...

Messing with Sappho
Die and tap to spiral a thread. A jig to
hold it, twisting, cutting and forming. Back off
before fracture occurs and jams it. Lastly,

Edinburgh's Tragic Circle
That break-in at Fettes caused an eddy
in Edinburgh and beyond. Disguised
as ALF the act was the epitome
of criminality. Police estranged ...
... from judiciary almost forever.
Nimmo and Friel sent to exorcise
belief in the Magic Circle - whether
true or not. To undermine and despise ...
... those who try to enlighten and inform.
Yet, Dervaird's epitath and elegy
"admitted being indiscreet" and forms
the opinion of a felony.
The 'non-existent' cabal the envy

The Swinburne Arms
Drinking beer and thinking of Swinburne's poems.
Watching time slip backwards as beer slips down, and
realising none of his work is present

Oh if only
There was a girl called Naomi,
who'd swallow any baloney.
We would all be shot by Cupid
if only she wasn't stupid.
Good looks and brains, oh if only.

Flush It Away
Will democracy
be flushed away like a turd?
A bad day for all.
