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.
