anti-trans rhetoric
openly celebrated
pro-Palastine criminalised

I recall well the gathering of friends
to party while my father was away
and in the morning sought to make amends
by sweeping all the floors by light of day.
The vacuum cleaner had so little power
it would take a dozen passes to make clean
and that's exactly what this Flymo mower
does upon the grass grown summer green.
The first pass takes a few stalks, it is true,
although it takes a hefty strength to push
and pull in a repeating motion few
would have stamina to beat around the bush.
The wire which feeds it power is too short
though it does collect the cuttings, as it ought.
