No one
not even you
will ever know
beforehand
how things will go.
Practice may make perfect
but perfect is no guarantee
of success.
The council sent a wrecking crew
which is
the sort of thing that council's do
and knocked the brick wall down
because the writing that was on it
didn't fit the image of this
Town
and it could have been
in
Camden
Kentish
or even Highgate Village which
is not technically a town but it
has lots of walls
Walls remind me of ghetto's
no go's
and,
'Halt who goes there?'
But it's just word association
like
council aberration
normal situation
and who pays reparations
to
the future generations
when we've used the whole
world up or washed it all
away?
