ELECTION DEBATES

I cant look - 

but I do

and

I swear at all them FUCKERS-

they got suits on and they know figures

but

WHAT CAN THEY REALLY DO?

with Whitehall and China and US and debts

what can they do

before

the

6 o’clock news?

the liberal he’s atheist

but

I expect MORE . . .

its all better muted

and anyway I got new pants and a soft new vest on

and I’m going up the bottle shop for whisky 

that 

I’ll 

drink 

deep.

the FUCKERS-

it’s a body language zoo of assertive standing 

and thoughtful looking down noses

and diligent note taking.

quickly

they slide in barbed pops at each other

pumping their paws into shapes

meant

to reassure us only tire me out.

is it WRONG to expect MORE?
