THINGS GOING ON IN LONDON 2004
“Burst him” calls the Megaman
before the shot rings out “Not
so solid a balloon now!”
It is all over in how many
loaded 21 seconds?
Off to the Old Bailey with you.
Scooter lives in the real world
You’d better believe it
She’s chasing the yellow-cake
all the way
back to the top of the pile.
And what of Sticky Fingers?
Will Astro congo some apt song?
Or the hold up with the pricing
gun and
the robber who cried all the
way to the station to dob himself in
The last of the red deckers
a sad day for London town
I ask you why why why
if it’s broken fix it, if it’s
not...
And what of the Bishop Don
who sees the undoing of the
little boys innocent
as moral waywardness and
believe god forgives them
till there is no crime, is it
enough then to forgive oneself?
And mad boy Adair knows how to
handle a girl
allege this allege that.
Flying car Harry and Russy blue
cry
“What is the world coming to?”
When the jukebox, the sport screen,
the flashing handled coin-machines
throw the strumming soulster
out on the street
we protect the bishop and throw
the singer into the pit
with the tigers.
Getting more
and more
civilized
everyday
