The control-collar fits perfectly the neck-stalk
but the neck-stalk is barely clever enough
to support the head-ball. Thus is
(f)art-construction deemed imperfect —
and cherry-ripe for destructive mouth-criticism
AND JEREMY CORBYN IS IN THE SHOWER
But the starling approaching from beyond the far-star
in the manner of an alt-air-rip from the past-future
adds everything up and ends up
with less than it started out with —
it’s possible that either the meta-maths is wrong
or the numbers were out to begin with —
AND WINTER IS APPROACHING
for the brain, a rather unsettling ugly-face creature
with a tendency to have a mind of its own,
conjures bird-brains of paradise where there is no paradise
and increasingly unpins everything from the think-bar
AND THE NEXT POEM WILL BE ILLUSTRATIVE OF CYNICISM ON A GLOBAL SCALE
