The Prophet of A and E- this is a poem in my new play
Lulled and startled-
Bleeding by the babbling brook of the caged telly
Lulled and startled-
Snapped bones jar at the swish of the double doors
That shroud the curses of fun loving nurses
Skin as raw and cold as corn beef
Some teath broken
From biting the apple
This man has been picked on
Battered
And buggered
All his life
You know
He’s been squashed into all the dark corners
You know
He’s had epiphanies from knocks to the temple
And his holes have told the secret
Of who enjoys it the most;
You really know the logistics
When your beauty and intellect
Is slapped off idiotically
By one dickhead after the other
He lifts and folds delecate clothes
And puts them back in his bag again;
A thing of Beauty
Is a soft thing
That wants to stay perfect
And as I leave
I don't bother to hope for the best
Fot him
As I leave
I don't bother
To hope
And as I leave
Pac Man chases a ghost
On the dot matrix board
Followed by s statement
About the waiting time
