Sir, sir!
Where are your five bodies?
Outside? Hanging in a tree?
Admit it, you charlatan!
Do you have even a feather
of the supernatural in your system?
Have you?
Some of my relations are dead, I think,
You think?
That is to say, I have connections...
Connections?
With pickpockets, perhaps,
and spurious dealers of unusual wares
such as the demons who reside
in their colourless winter hovels.

still under repair
despite urgent needs.
expensive plans go awry
calls for desperate measures
you can't buy happiness
but money greases the ache.

Benjamin Netanyahu
has publicly stated how easy
it is to manipulate President Trump
'like offering lollipops to a child.'
Israeli war crimes in Palestine and Iran
compounded by American actions
in a war of compounded war crimes
and while the Jewish people are innocent
the nation of Israel is not
and Maureen Lipman can just eff off
with her support for that nation.

zombies
depicted in books, movies, TV;
but nobody points out the obvious:
when ninety percent of survivors are men
the formale-female dead
will be enslaved and raped
and the men will count it as 'God's Will'
because they are alive
and thus chosen by Allah.
You know it's true
because it already happens:
strength overcomes morality
even in the government
and the clergy.

he takes a photograph
that shows enduring beauty
his subject is a pensioner;
overweight in the belly
underweight in the neck and face;
bones clearly visible under taut skin
and muscles snaking though her dancer's legs.
She looks pensive;
she doesn't see beauty in the mirror;
just a future cadaver
still walking.

he did his best to raise a boy;
a late surprise after two girls
because his Catholic wife
relied on the strength of belief
to avoid unwanted pregnancy.
long hair and dresses
occupied his child's mind;
climbing trees and arranging dolls
in ascending orders of surgical intervention;
and then the mother died
and the restraints of Religion
fell away from both their lives.
despite the love he had
he could not look at his son again
because there was his dead wife's face
and because of the love he had
he just wanted the boy to be happy;
even if the boy was a girl.

Diaper Don
runs the navy into the ground --
not even the sea
because the wages aren't paid
and the marines are jumping ship
because they haven't been fed either
and the showers and toilets are broken;
but sure, Diaper Don,
manipulate the crypto market
to make a few more billion
and another gold toilet.
