I seem to have missed the lesson, or maybe it was a paid seminar, where being a ******* to folk not like you is seen as cool A staggering self-belief, or indoctrination into a way of thinking that excludes the workers, powerhouses, batteries, seems insane in a way that only limited lineages seem genetically capable of But now I’m stooping, so I’ll stop Let’s all stop being in thrall to noisy ******* rugger-buggers who had charmed and broken youths, who knew no hunger except in minds and no kindness except paid for I would feel pity, but these bred monsters are parasitic, so to let them survive, ******* and spouting lies, kills us all in the end. Britannia rules these waves

End titled
Here is where I met you, in our space, in our sphere, but I appropriated it from you, didn’t I? You liked to stand near the pungent water pipe behind the building Just under the flickering neon. Here is where I witnessed a whirlwind in still life, careful but creepily Analyzing your ways. You are something dangerous but sparkling, something I should not need but alas, here we are. Here is where you stand and look straight ahead, boring into my eyes. Your voice, melodic, distant, tinged with some almond liqueur ‘I’m not yours’ You do not know that, do not worsen the dragging of life, please. There is a coppery, slick taste on my tongue, you do not know. Here is where you stood but now you are gone.
