Centre tears and
Billet switching
Off beat book tests
Belief upon healing
In a carnival of democracy

Ask and you shall receive, she said
With needles stuck in her throat

Holding ribbons tied to parrots
I braced myself for the real ones

A client who refused to sit down

The story of the hundredth monkey
In cages for sacrificial lambs and doves
He once told me a story
A client who refused to sit down.

I thought him rather rude!
