TOWER           

 

Fetch me a line, one that won’t

Prop up the Nation.

 

Moon, toss back the dog – it’s

Given you narcolepsy.

 

Be damned you horn-locking

Demons masquerading

                       Culture

 

Tasering the body you’re

Hoping to save...

 

Lend that wit, Sociology. That

Wit festering in memory-bank’s

                       Zoo... just

 

Take yourselves to bed; don’t

Question what I’m about to do

                       With your tools:

 

By morning you’ll inherit

The labours you crave.

 

 

 

INCURSION       

 

Only the most fiery

Of our poets

Are prepared

To burn

Their

Most chosen

Scraps:

 

This of course

Does not

Prevent

       Repetitive

Smoke chasing.
