BIG WHEEL


the Big Wheel/horrible Wheel
of the world the wealthy and the wanting
TURNS 
(Christ!) 
relentless and endless; MAGNIFICENT 
at Home and in W1.

and my legs are both emptied from marching
and i clutch my holding hands together hoping
that the phone 
BOTH 
will and wont 
RING its rude alarm of need tonight.

so, i give up . . .
GIVING UP!
and rest outside by the quietly burning refinery
where no one but lorry driver blurs can see me
smoking 
in the soft and gentle caressing
hospital rain
