THE FORDS PRAYER

writing's the Haven 

when we're hollowed by the game

and publishing will come

online

and

in

Dagenham

burnt are our daily heads

with endless arse and near-misses 
and bollocking those 
that near-miss against us

give us some sins !
that we might live in reality
and write poems 
to deliver us from people

for

ours

is the Dagenham

anti-Corrie
anti-Tory
forever

and
ever 

- women !

FALSE STILTS

its hard and its far
and
theres no time 
so
tie boot laces tight
against
the
oceans
that
make
other places seem impossible

it looks short but it feels endless
this
functioning mush / this advertised median
between 
the unkillable poor
and
the
miserable lost smiles
of
the
rich

but you
can
still
smell
the
roses

or
paint
them

if you have allergies
