ELECTION DEBATES

I cant look - 
but I do
and
I swear at all them FUCKERS-

they got suits on and they know figures
but
WHAT CAN THEY REALLY DO?

with Whitehall and China and US and debts
what can they do
before
the
6 o’clock news?

the liberal he’s atheist
but
I expect MORE . . .

its all better muted
and anyway I got new pants and a soft new vest on
and I’m going up the bottle shop for whisky 
that 
I’ll 
drink 
deep.

the FUCKERS-
it’s a body language zoo of assertive standing 
and thoughtful looking down noses
and diligent note taking.

quickly
they slide in barbed pops at each other
pumping their paws into shapes
meant
to reassure us only tire me out.

is it WRONG to expect MORE?
