False Premise: Shadorma
FALSE PREMISE
Mountaineers
Each their own mountain
Up and up
Leave behind
All those souls down far below
And each other too
Never Pat A Burning Dog
NEVER PAT A BURNING DOG
Sundry faiths there are
Bickering over the words
Of a single truth
Staying Alert
1: ALERT
“Come quickly,” mummy.
“There’s a man at the door with
a bill.” Her reply?
2: DISTRACTED
“Don’t be silly, son.
It’s probably just a duck
who’s wearing a hat.”
A Handful Of Sexualities
A HANDFUL OF SEXUALITIES
Four fingers, one thumb.
Various parts; the same hand.
Words; names; attitudes.
Different, not separate.
Cut one off and all feel pain.
Oh God!
OH GOD!
On the one hand – God
On the other – Religion
While in the between
Lie didactic certainty
And much misunderstanding
Distress Call
DISTRESS CALL
“Come in Number Ninety-one.” she called.
“Come in Number Ninety-one.” she called.
Then she remembered there were only 20 boats
And called, “Number Sixteen, Number Sixteen.
Are you in some kind of trouble?”
