Political Poem No. 5

 

 

"Can't you see the obvious"

No I can't

There is a slight inflection in my voice

I can see red in the corner of his pupil

 

I have a friend

who fell out of a plane

now he looks before he jumps

 

I walk into posts

they're always in the way

my nose should be bent

 

"The problem with the world today is ...."

I accidentally change channels

"The solution is ........."

I've pulled the aerial off the set

I should wear a pair of rabbit ears

 

I try and listen

 

"Can't you see the obvious"

"Can't you see the truth"
I tap twice with my cane

and wave my foot
