I wear a hat. I play golf. (Sermon from The Donald)

Let golf be elitist. Be

expensive, take the land.

Let people work hard and aspire to play golf

one day and

let the rest play basketball

(trademark wink and a nod)

I wear a hat. I play golf.

Factory Setting

Slurry pasted faces

Grey,boiled to death grey

shuffling along in grotesquely overwashed costume.

Might as well go on living-

(howl in piercing silence, eyes of searing red

that once were green with life)

Aspiring to coping-

(epitaph punched on a UC50 form

by an ashen kapo in pissmark blue)

Shame is such an unflattering colour.

Sophie prays to trees

Sophie prays to trees

to shirtless Jesus on alternate days

Random German family

Each and every meal served with a side salad of sneering contempt

fetus soft coddled eggs

boiled

(two to three minutes, no more)

peeled

hidden

(under a thick trenchcoat of leaves)

mashed

and each and every beaten mess a benediction
