WALKING DEATH / SIX ACROSS




if
in the devils
fleet street
madagascar
novotel

i hardstare dead ahead
thru the calendar walls
at realities overdrive

i see grandparents
younger than me
weeping air
over
a
year-old red-top
tv guides 6 across

sandpaper dry newspaper pages
crumble at a covered cough
sparking a smokers tut
over
an
a
empty bellys
sink estate cry

& their hands like sepia maps
hold chipped china cups
of warm bathtub gins
pale pale
fade-away dreams

five letters it says
they have a D from armageddon
so it starts with a D
'permanent state youre in' it says
'walking _____'
in the devils
en suite
fleet street
madagascar
novotel
