...Leon, shot, dumped overboard as if to make a point.
Westmoreland said, the Viet Cong could be indentified
from the attacking aircraft as all personnel in uniform
below. Their uniform, he told us, was the native dress....Read more of this...

...consolable widow
 to a funeral march - 
die then, my verse,
 die like a common soldier,
like our men
 who nameless died attacking!
I don’t care a spit
 for tons of bronze;
I don’t care a spit
 for slimy marble.
We’re men of kind,
 we’ll come to terms about our fame;
let our
 common monument be
socialism
 built
 in battle.
Men of posterity
 examine the flotsam of dictionaries:
out of Lethe
 will bob up
 the debris of such words
as “prostitution,” 
 “tuberculosis,”

...d 'Ardy says, 'Aye, well let's toss up.'
'Oratio answers 'Okay.' 

They tossed... it were heads for attacking, 
And tails for t'other way 'bout. 
Joe lent them his two-headed penny, 
So the answer was never in doubt. 

When penny came down 'ead side uppards, 
They was in for a do it were plain, 
And Joe murmered 'Shiver me timbers.' 
And Nelson kissed 'Ardy again.

...tillerist—I tell of my fort’s bombardment; 
I am there again. 

Again the long roll of the drummers; 
Again the attacking cannon, mortars;
Again, to my listening ears, the cannon responsive. 

I take part—I see and hear the whole; 
The cries, curses, roar—the plaudits for well-aim’d shots; 
The ambulanza slowly passing, trailing its red drip; 
Workmen searching after damages, making indispensable repairs;
The fall of grenades through the rent roof—the fan-s...Read more of this...

...s girlhood

A thousand times better than snide attacks in the TLS

By ‘JC’. **** you, Jock, you should be ashamed,

Attacking Brenda Williams, who had a background

Worse than yours, an alcoholic schizophrenic father

And an Irish immigrant mother who died when Brenda was fifteen

But still she managed to read Proust on her day off

As a library girl, turned down by David Jenkins,

‘As rising star of the left’ for a place at Leeds

To read theology started her as a protes...Read more of this...

...his reading,
You never can defend his breeding;
Who in his satires running riot,
Could never leave the world in quiet;
Attacking, when he took the whim,
Court, city, camp -all one to him!
But why should he, except he slobber't,

To save the nation every hour?
What scenes of evil he unravels
In satires, libels, lying travels!
Not sparing his own clergy-cloth,
But eats into it, like a moth!"

"His vein...Read more of this...

I burn to turn myself into the translator of French poetry

For our time and not to waste what little life I’ve left 

Attacking Survivors ‘Coming Through’ – 

A second-hand title for a third rate book

Of botched and blotched attempts at verse and worse.

Down with O’Brien and Forbes, those two of our time

Who above all others vie for the crown of infamy and slime.

Underground poets of Albion unite

Its time to clear the literary world of shite....Read more of this...

...first from heav’n’s high peace it enter’d here,
No armour had it then, nor guarding shield,
Nor sword for safety, nor attacking spear,
No pang’d misgivings suffered it, nor fear,
Seeing in every face its own sweet face,
Smiling to treachery with trustful eyes,
Finding in nature its own nature’s grace:
—So Adam in his vision’d Paradise
Saw but God’s gifts, till taste of bitter ruth
Taught him what earth’s creation is in truth:—

Now, O stern angel, none can make rel...Read more of this...
