i)

why are people so..
who knows?
they say,
-we want equal rights!

(-or any kind of rights
really..)
perhaps a constitution!?
-free

from intimidation
hunger
and homelessness
injustice..!

(money would be
nice-
sharing-
it is a poem..)

and these aberrations
rigorously fought-against
with the same keen-fortitude
as

parking offences..
say..
ok we get a
picture,lily-

ii)
why do you think
prices ..
have doubled..
in a year-she examines
the nomadic wastes of her
purse..
(i don´t know-google
the ******..)

war or weather-
curse..
ah,how we danced
to this*
a beer cost a hundred
drachmas..
(not funny lily)
look now..

the doors-riders on
the storm

iii)

what the future
brings?
o mad warning-
sanity´s rupture!

or,
loves suture
lingers..
eternal healing-
the cure..!

iv

well, she scratches
her verruca-we can
go-
we can go-
go-if we don´t like
it-we can go-

racism
bigotry and
hatred
exploitation
poverty, corruption,
fear..

where shall we go-?
go
we have come-come
from there..!?

(lily is on the radio!
asked for something
spontaneous
and gripped by
election fever..!-)

tell me, where,
where,
fish, are shown more
respect,
better be a purple
insect!
jesus wept..
where to go
the world has become so
small..
