slickened with salt-water,
screech in rotation
- a weathered pacemaker -
Oceans crack along jagged equators
rip tides finally tearing
man handled and split
Crumbling bricks
c a s c a d e into busy streets
collecting dust clouds
- in the grooves of all terrain tyres -
clogging the arteries of mainstream society
relaxed hyper tension c a r e s s e s atmospheric pylons
hungry bellies rumbling
with volcanic heartburn;
spewing conspiracy theories.
Pants, pressed with heart-warming precision,
lay undisturbed in wait for a passenger
of a flight grounded by a divine wind.
Gasoline fires penetrate unseen coral
while deserts are scorched by gunfire
and greed
greasy paws steal food,
from dark (well documented) mouths,
tossed and abandoned
in order to feed spoiled kittens
tribes hide among scratching posts
and growths of catnip
lightbulbs stealing their vision
blindly, calloused fingers pluck
soiled green notes
from silt and burning rubber
lining the pockets of Petty criminals.
fumes of waste melt,
well manicured holes,
into blue lawns and cotton balls.
Overfed corpses swing in twine collars
for crimes committed on a switchboard
cigarettes perch atop dried lips
blinfolds in the firing line of fiscal uncertainty and crisis.
Nuclear cuffs detain uncle sam
an army of immaculate suits gamble on unwritten odds
headlines creating nothing but warmth -
the ink staining the neglected skin
of one legged veterans;
blood diamonds giving them back the twinkle in their eye
persecutors poised
-while wealth is mined and destroyed -
waiting for a guilty jury
who have yet to return.
