ALL NATIONAL ISSUES ASIDE

tory at the door
canvassing support
for council votes

i answer his knock
dunno why
manners ?

he straight-faced says
all national issues aside
would you vote conservative ?

i take his flyer
just
to
give it back

& shut the door
on the crazy world

POEMS FOR ALIENS, A PARTIAL GUIDE TO EARTH Nos 8 & 9

8. ANIMALS

really
naked
people

but dressed in hair
or armour

unconventional 
manners*

little 
conversation**



9. REALITY BITE

when you segue awake
thinking

i remember that gunfight
it was me and sean connery***

against all of SMERSH****

i
remember
his
hairy
arms
beaded
with
sweat

but
it

of course

never
happened
