STRUGGLE POPS

1.

    i 
struggle 
  with
all the steel and the glass -
  who put it all there
  and
how 
  long 
  can it last ?


2.

    i
struggle

with the coke can mountain
     and 
     the 
   picture book minds

with plusone broadcast times and 
    that 
  web machine 

with our houses
     black 
   damp proofing 
   lines
and the  wifi  wireless  radio
    un-
    seen


3.

    i
struggle
with  an egg with a feather on it

  and
    with 

the Bombs and the Overkill

   
4.

    i 
struggle with
us people  soft meccano
      in
     our
      download
   twilight

  us 

 relentless and legion

        but
    zerohoured and
       boxed and
       beaten and
       binned



5a.

    i
struggle
with
the
nature
we lived in

  the rocks and soil
  the trees and streams
  the open hands of fields
      and
     the
 fist twisted roots - 

  theyre
now
    dark mystery 
to our tv eyes


5b.

out there 
  where
the concrete ends
cement
pontoons
dissolve
into
tire torn landrover turf

its for the dogwalkers now
    for invisible wardens now
    for helicopter farmers now

and
the
unabomber
