( mary )

recently i've not been myself

yes far too often i've been someone else

all morning i've been mary queen of scots

implicated by that bastard babbington plot

& if i carry on this gender-bend way

no doubt they'll behead me down at fotheringhay

yes recently i've not been myself

since the others spiked my apple juice

- blame everyone else

...





f*cki*g *oems, *astar* th*ngs …

they hide behind bushes

then flash us unawares

then leg it off in the nud

somewhere over there




they sneak into our gardens

in the perverse depths of night

then in the middle of the lawn

they shit a massive shite




they babble next to us on buses

when loadsa double seats are free

clothed but recognizable

please stop bothering me




& so i shout through the morrow mist

as birds begin to sing

'SHAKESPEARE WAS A FRAUDULENT WANKER

- FUCKING POEMS,

BASTARD THINGS'
