Paedophile was 'Man in Dress'

The papers ran with the story,

a confessional from a fourteen year old

looking for a hook-up with his online friend;

little did he know his fellow gamer

was a man, just pretending

to be a fifteen year old girl

in order to groom and prey upon him.

"I got there and there was this old white dude in a dress,"

said Kevin (not his real name,)

"and he offered me Coke (the drinking kind)

he said the girl I was friends with had gone to the shop

and I could wait for her in the house."

Online news picked it up and ran;

it made the local TV news

and a famous author paid millions to the Lords

to criminalise transwomen,

and wrote a book about a tranny killer

but when the police made the prosecution

they kept the whole thing hushed

at the request of the Church

who quietly defrocked the guilty priest.

Moor Lane Cemetery

a narrow path; almost a burrow,

through trees bowing to honour the dead;

a path between old graves

leading to a chapel

long disused,

a roof emulating trees

channelling rain to an old altar

re-consecrated to the Lord of Fungi

in a moss covered copse

Rally Interview

Old white geezer

wearing a Union Jack as a cape

just want's "The Old England Back"

and what he means

is the fond memories of post-war Britain

where everything was rationed

and Mummy washed his clothes for him;

where you were allowed to be racist

because everyone was

but nobody was really racist,

not really,

not when all the menial jobs were done by immigrants

and corner shops sold asbestos and cyanide

and the ruling class could do whatever they likes

so long as the peasants paid taxes

and didn't trespass on Crown lands.

Come the Revolution

Tommy Robinson

leads some chants in his London Rally

where they wear the red hats

and blood-red crosses

synonymous with the New Reich

"Make England Great Again."

White people, all,

complaining they are downtrodden by minorities

these poor billionaires

TV 'personalities'

and would be politicians

leading chants in support

of Tech Trillionaire Elon

Comic Sans

snapshots

the enigma of likeness;

frozen images

wrenched out of time

devoid of all substance:

a superficial resemblance

of that moment in time

sans thought, sans belief

sans opinion, sans love

Homage du Kiefer

gestational tonality

coaxed from the surface of the canvas

memories of winters past

in allusions of splendour

from the minarets of prayer towers;

sediments of yesterday's pigments

dredged up by river barges

and set out under a Tuscany sun.
