A NAIL-BOMB IN

OLD COMPTON STREET

/OR HOW THEY CARRIED THE BAD NEWS

FROM KOSOVO TO MY FRONT ROOM

a wall of dead TV’s

await ignition,

stillborn with genocides,

behind retail store glass

then, to theft light-

fingered? lift smooth

from tempting lure of

crisp-new tabloid stash

hunched by cool dawn

just-delivered

newsagent grille?

but no, I walk on,

those laser-guided lies

will target me

later today

anyway
