House of Shouts

Underclass ; a running box that middles
                  the center of a (not)living room.

Kidney table; an African girl beams
                   down into the smoke
                   an ashtray of burnt souls.

Faces full of thin beer admire
                   the box lights of the estate,
                   double binds, grins, hopless rutting.

Far ; the black flat of fields
       owls and air, silence.
