clear-eyed springs
unfold her wings
trumpet the joyful
sound of
cherry blossom trees
while
sharing her
branches
with
shiny black yellow
and
red breasted
lorries of the spring
oh lord
when
i
hear heaven sing
On the bleak street
not a blade of grass,
only dust
from the lorries,
the cement mixers.
A year later
I see a bud appearing,
by Autumn
this one golden blade
has grown tall.
The sound of a swishing oat seed
cheers me up
in grubby flatland.
CHOKE POINT
Our roads are at choke point
as traffic descends into gridlock chaos.
Cars, lorries, buses and vans
all bumper to bumper in a traffic
jam ten miles long. This is a vision
of the technological world
in which we live where both man
and machine grind to a halt.
We are Black Ants: how many times must lorries grind us?
Before we get extinct!
How many times must chickens peck on us?
Before the number is reduced!
How many times must our kind mourn?
Before our rights are guaranteed!
How many times must floods flash us away?
Before the world knows we exist!
We cowboys on this side of the pond
Get out of bed with boots and spurs on
To ride our bucking bronco golden stallions
As you mount your nags on the weak side of the ocean
Yes, we snicker as you call elevators 'lifts'
And your truckers call a semi a 'lorry'
But daring to call a cop or a smokey a 'bobby' ~
Odds bodkins, bloke! Please say that you're sorry!
