Long St paul Poems

When the StraightWhite Patriarchal President
sent out his Praise and Thanks Message
"We love you"
to those who would cathartically enjoy beheading
VicePresident St. Peter's Pence

while our SouthWest is burning
and while our SouthEast is flooding
and wet windstorm conflagrating,
feeling the flamed-up wrath

Thanksgiving gobbledygook

The following anecdote baste
upon overactive imagination of mine
in sync with being married
and monogamously living socially chaste
life as a scrupulous anchorite,
whose weather beaten corporeal flesh
plus sabotaged, riddled,
and tuckered psyche effaced
after becoming adequately stuffed,

According to an ancient tradition
One can distinguish between two senses of Scripture
The literal and spiritual

A wedding, celebrated in true English fashion.
A time for joy before the out break of war,

Two villains caught, hard labour...

The mist in Regent Gardens air
awakes a single rosebud there.
Her scent drifts past Trafalgar Square -

The rising sun above the Thames
shines brighter than a crown of gems;
