SMUG MONEY SMILE

i
cant
watch
a
property show
these days

the ones where theyre building
double-height glass extensions
to quote alan partridge
like art installations with a toilet

where the architect
wears an odd scarf
or wears weird glasses
and
smiles a smug money smile
and
routinely designs 
over-budget
round skylights
for an entrance hall
like a city library 

i
cant
watch
these
shows
without picturing
a homeless couple
with newspaper in their boots
watching
on
a
plasma screen
thru
a 
tottenham court road shop window

thinking

whattheshitman ?
whattheactualshit ?

and counting all my blessings
for the hundredth time that day
