March 2020 Collage Poem: There’s a Rumour Going Round that Street
Righteous and correct, the clown wilts
Rumour has it I saw someone in costume
From a magazine advertising hard goods.
It’s left my heads in bolts and screwed up.
Unlock my imagination.
No you can’t have a pancake: it’s Saturday!
Run your fingers through the rubble
At the altar of vengeance
Rumour has it, God is forgotten and pancakes need Nutella.
We told rumours of Gods and rumours of Gods at war
Beware of the clown, he’s angry
Beware of sexy legs Rachel jumping over the moon
Right place at the wrong time
Nutella the new ambrosia of the gods
Is Achilles’ new war paint.
The rumour runs far to dance in your mind of gin
Whilst the author of vengeance reviewed eleven thousand virgins.

There is a rumour
eleven thousand virgins
unlock their imagination
while eating pancakes
when reading this
