I've performed no poetry since my last poetry blog, hence the silence.
I've also written no poetry, hence the silence. But I did write half a poem two months ago that I couldnt finish, until this week.
In Case of Emergency
When buses become boxes
That hide secret motives to control a nation
When buses become boxes
Where people are encouraged 2 sit next 2 each other & not notice
Communication opportunities – it may be time to stand up and ring the bell
When buses drive us not to but away from the action
When buses become trenches
From which newspapers launch attacks on people’s freedom of thought
When buses become platforms
Where charlatan talent is serialised and printed out in human form
For us to worship before we start our day then to hell with the bell
The hand reaching for it – clenches
But when buses start to advocate that there is no God
When sideline adverts on the 263
Start telling you just how clearer everything will be on HD – if you switch over
Head to the back & break out the emergency hammer
It’s over
