Skeleton of our Ethics

Skeleton of our Ethics

A Poem by Carlton McRae

On my way back to the normal world

of finger tip reality,

morally responsible for last nights trouble,

I nurtured the monster & betrayed the species.


Sedatives, pills…

a troupe of pink elephants

jet trailed through the summer sky.


Children have the power,

the formula to change

and nothing but golden eyes

that suddenly burst into tears,

hour after hour,

night after night,

wondering…


I’ll keep my steps in good time

until back in London,

postponed for another visit.
