other way

A piece of satire for todays mass market

 

During the alcheringa we were all singing Looney tunes

locked into clichés of happiness among the black glass dunes.

Narrative doublure exposed to the ultramarine elements

rocking a tight-rope walker frustrated as he’s only paid in pence

 

            and not the other way around.

 

As Goldilocks gets mauled to death & death

& death. Getting ready for the arrival of Beth 

afterwards so they put on their Sunday best.

As she walks in , surprised, on three bears black tie dressed.

 

Losing the palpable paranoia at yet another hi-five

positive reinforcement on a blue wire sparked live

& sentimental as the surrounding faces dissolve in the rain ,

discovered sugar as The Kingpin stands to light a flame

 

for that cigarette , sir , & try not to be too nebbish.

Switching back to the bears handing out red dish

                       after red dish

discussing neo-colonialism & its effect on Africa

as corruption riddles all this from a crafted star

& parliament can only declare regulations will have to be changed

every five years declaring regulations will have to be changed ;

                                   rather strange

 

as The shamrock lies down among a graveyard of fridges

in a tautophony of cries for help along sharp edge ridges , 

of a Cliff called touvaille bringing in the new day

o'er a urban sprawl spreading thru council of clay,

 

ringing round a wineglass of middle class alcoholism

slurring the words to curse the vitreous swine ; atheism.

Trapped monosyllabic in the face of blue thread dread

wrapped round our throats as in the end ,

                                    that is all she said.

Tremendous write. I enjoyed this as it resides in a world I frequent sometimes. I think your imagery is what sets this off and every detail is a delight. I like these srt of writes.
