POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
writing poetry doesn't make me a poet, who hasn't written poetry at some time or other...
shows her the frying pan...

all a mistake...
ok so I'm guessing that
you don't actually want
a septuagenarian hotelier
running your country
maybe you were simply
trying to book a room
I mean we all need a break
hey it's easily done
good luck with
trying to cancel
for fuck's sake...

something and nothing
don't understand nothing
it's a pretty difficult concept
can nothing be a concept
that'd be something

the end of parliamentary democracy...
let's have a referendum
on whether or not
to bring back the death penalty
or the bubonic plague
or the british empire
or mill owners
peasants
danegeld
the viking control
of the north
let's have a referendum
on everything
everything
everything
is now up to you
I mean who needs parliament
who needs plumbers
fix your own leaks
you've got nothing
better to do
there simply isn't the time
not now you're running the country
whilst working all week
in the office ...

I don't remember anything

And Else says
Not to worry,
Luv...

what you wanted...
it's got to the point where I can't even
blame the government anymore
it's the people
the people who don't like foreigners,
who want to have refugees
tested as regards their age -
look at him, he's far too old
to have escaped the bombing, I mean
if he had any decency,
by the law of averages he'd have been
blown up by now -
the people who want
to have an asian free britain
and cite that
as a reason for getting out of europe
the people who say
that they want to take back
control of their country ...

buy him a pint of beer
which he doesn't really get...

another cafe poem...
writes poems during lunch
on that little white paper thing
you're meant to wipe your mouth with
which he does
but when he looks at it
it's full of words...
