.and then it's the drop into reality
the penny picnics and sheer brutality
of modernity,

Oxford Street is Guernica,
the guerrilla revolutionary or
the expeditionary force
laden with *****
she equates it to beauty
the sale is now on
come on down.

I'm going down
slowly
slowly
ready for the show
most
holy
holy
then it's back to reality
the totalitarian
the vegetarian
the vegan
the meagre
the lactose intolerant
the dairy queen?
she was magnificent
the league of the madmen
come on down
pick up your brushes and
paint.

I watch raindrops
nothing stops them
not even
umbrellas.
