The ale smell stained on my shirt. The bricked wall of my rented studio apartment. The state of dealing treachery. The ill-lit midnight lobby. The sun crayoning orange shadows over the ghastly, grotty bathroom. All for the mite chance of my words prancing on the article.
this is a two-part poem
Crayoning in the wrinkles on my skin,
please hold
this may take some time,

my chin,
no longer as smooth
as a babies behind,
every time I look
I find
another crease and
that's not really cricket
is it?
but *** it,
it's Friday
I'm doing it my way,

shame about the crayon
I only had a green one.

Without the slightest knowledge of Diplomacy
the pygmies are still playing with Colouring Books
and crayoning the sun blue and leaves yellow
all outside the margins, of course
this looks right, so real, they declared
but we can't paint in white
nothing is white, its just nothing

— The End —
