WORLD PANTOMIME



its rushed and its loose
its primary school pantomime
out
there

all the seats are too small
for a start

the backdrop is botched
in lurid poster paint

extras cry with nerves
understudies resign in crisis

teachers weep for the profession 
       in
       the
     cold draft 
       from 
under padlocked fire doors

any car crash scene
is applauded

orphan parents peeling love
in the smart phone glow
