jubilee celebrations
a musing on the retrotards
celebrations
the war planes roar over truth
in reformations of colour
the x gun salute
bangs it home
the guards
guard it well
the truth about war
the flags
the bunting fluttering
over an empire
that is over
the cathedrals
where the establishment
establish
the hoi polloi
gravitate to salivate
at the gates of lies
for here lays
lord help us
who owned it all
but here you will not lie
will you
the honours
for they who want no honours
but are honoured
the palaces
where the populace lean upon
the continuity of mystery
the medals
dear god they are wearying
so many
such proficiency
is killing me
the ubiquitous
uniformity
of uniforms
even the clergy
are cloying
the scions of scions
in retrograde gravitate
around the continuity of preference
from which a mountebank builds
a costermonger’s cartful
of the orchards of desire
why are we
so gullible
is it hereditary
or heraldry
answer me
why am i off
to the tower
off with his head
for he had the temerity to think
the unthinkable
don’t you dare think
