I arrive

at the Houses of Parliament gate,

Inside

lies May's pointy, bedraggled face,

tongue bent into a U-bend,

licking the shit

of a monumental floater

left by Cameron;

Refusing to plunge

but too slippery

to unblock,

deadlock:

Between a shitty brush

or a shitter flush.

Part 1: Big bang

Crash!

Bang!

Wallop!

Something forged out of a massive nothing,

A singular density,

The beginning of time.

A universe, at once infinitesimally small

And infinitely dense,

Foretelling our seemingly thin grip on reality.

As far as the eye can see,

Beyond even light...

I am lord of the dance!

Cried Farage

as he waltzed into Strasbourg

and dragged Britain out.

I am the wide mouthed frog!

Cried Cameron,

lord of the flies,

mouth full of piggy.

I am the lord of the pies!

Cried BoJo,

scratching at porkies

in a world full of fibs.

I am irrelevant!

How many eppendorf tubes

have been sacrificed

of toxic death.

Metagenomic analysis of frozen reindeer droppings provides an estimate for when a ninth reindeer joined the sleigh-ride, the genetics associated with a glowing red nose, and the fungal diet of apparently ageless reindeer.

What's a man to do, or think, or say?

We'll put it down to privilege anyway.
Equality is coming, come what
May?
Nay,
The left is not right.

Nay,
I sway broadly to the left despite
The prevailing wind. Slighted,
The wrongs of our forefat...

It's getting hot in here,
in the sky, under the collar,
chop a tree, make a dollar.
Holla!
No doubt, some, rather
than standing firm would
be offended on behalf of the tree,
ignoring the wood,
ignorant of the roots
of this complex, leaf-littered mere.

Autumn is here,
...

As if it could get worse.

A country persuaded
that cuts to the poor
due to wrongs of the rich
would warrant a change.

As if it could get worse.

The country, poorer,
wages slashed,
what backlash?
More banker's cheques cashed.

As if it could get worse.

What backlash...

Religious or not,

 deep down

  we all yearn

   for something beyond

    the end not the end.

Equal

 in that

  we all want a sequel.
