by Paul Robert Mullen
it’s all insane
that’s my moon-rimmed core-rotten
appraisal of it all
UFO’s
in broad daylight
above a marina that lurks beneath
this bloodied town
below the stone sun
thumping cancer rays towards balding skulls
in garden cages
the daily briefing / / soured by nepotism
tells us all the things we need to un-know
the butterscotch ice-cream has
ran out …again
what a farce! someone bellows
from a nearby garden
the story of our twisted-wheel dystopian dreamscape
