[bodytext] => Lotus blossom Imbibe its eternal melody At ten past eight precisely Nicotene fingers Stale doughnuts Dusty skirting boards Marble moon skips through sheeted clouds Why so aloof? I am not yet a wolf Mild stroke loosed my voice Of confident middle range Sang again to only polite guilt-laced applause Daughter pleads deescalation Cousin Jane removed well used mirror Smashed As family members hastily converge Broken pieces parcelled Plant cactus trees to all limbs to emphasise A need for space Nurses swap school day phrases Venn Diagrams and Rhombuses and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so easily defined by scrambled egghead Despised for my cleverness Sneered at for clumsy table manners Quaint named blues singers Swap cathedral gowns While eager priest presses wafer To dried lips Cup turned ninety degrees To protect the faithful from these sins I am not in the world but Off the world In my head I can solve all word searches and tell passers by on romantic evening strolls to look upwards to see rich red Sunset Parousia for the elect Plant pot on my head removed Jagged pieces confiscated Back to front pullover taken off Majority vote for yellow pills I am now Remus Or was it Romulus? And who gives a ..... anyway Dammed to cry ALOUD PROUD Marble moon Why so aloof?
