CRESCENT POPS

just
laying
in



2 OK

( shes fine
  never fills them up enough she says )

theres
a
photographer
round
the
corner

she says

who lures in baby badgers
from the fields
with pet shop chicks

and she hisses at the streetside cats
to keep them off her tiny lawn



3 PAPER BOY

the paper boy
is
such
a
bedraggled orphan
in
the
filthy
night

hood down in the rain
defeated by the wind

that i gift him a chocolate egg

MEAT MONEY & OTHER THINGS



    they
cull the badgers
to save the cows
to kill for lunch

 [ i
  suppose
  tb badger mince
  is
  a
  bit gamey ]

    their
    chemical
    warfare
    is
insect genocide
to save cash crops
we leave to rot
    for
    subsidies

 [ no
  money
  in
  bug sandwiches

  not yet 
  anyway - prob wont be long tho . . . ]

    they
    use
child-mined super conductors
 in
  every
   single
    electric
     thing
we clutch in our grubby fists
and prod with greasy fingers
and then dump on their beaches
in a dangerous tangle of secrets
    when 
    we 
    get 
     a 
   shiny new one

    and
    we
shop away misery
and our complicity
with same day delivery
only one click away
    in 
    some 
    golden age 
    of 
    selective plenty

 [ i
  wish
  my
  hands
  were
  cleaner ]
