RKS Poetry Anthology: “Slime in the back lanes”

Slime in the back lanes

Greasy bacon fat hair

Not exactly popularity on the suburban to downtown bus

Toothless and urine fumes

Scabbed red hands from the Oedipal clasp of sherry bottles

Decorated by black nailed claws

That must not touch!

Fleeing refugees from a spineless napalmed society?

Victims of a hedonistic society?

All depends on the current need for heroes

And funds of the welfare state
