a half-boiled human lobster thrown into a freezer
then thawed on top of an atomic toaster made of g.m.-pentagram plasticised salmon
the trademark ball-and-chain regalia dissecting her wracking
neck plumes suited and booted
locking-on the gladed microphones choked to gurgle
a jittery siren ululating on a sinking energy drink super-tanker
twas the day lady-to-be theresa may wept
her parchment mozzarella face atlantian blotting paper all abs and deltoids..
smear-blobule red riding hood spangled vamp pins strided matronly
sidewinder eyelids baleful mental hospital magnolia cobra
my ears were shot to bled bits though
i was vacuuming the carpet listening to motorhead so..
she was on the telly muted mutating
as she spoke i attempted to lip-read her message
words rolled below anyhow
theresa. may. resigns.
so why would she do this
vacuuming men with growling bass-slatted ears lactating needed to know..
she looked up as gravity pounded down nitrogen termites/sheet-metal terrapins
she held back a sob
like an elderly diana-like gone saturnine/180/not killed by mi5
clue the smirking boys behind the hearse milady..
breathe love breathe..i thought feeling all tender..
she opened her mouth in different ways
twinned-city lips swerve-skidded-pursed shapes lurid/gimp-masked
out-gassing rebar budgerigar
theresa may miming lemmy live
now that is what i call karaoke..
so vacuuming listening to motorhead this is what i lip-read..
lord knows i tried
but something inside me died
i cried and i cried
i saw those photographs and reports
the hospitals and school buses bombed in yemen..
she paused – looked up
..with missiles to saudi ~ we sold them
i killed those children
as did my predecessors
then there was idlib etcetera
so sorry i condemn the white helmets unequivocally
syria sorry
i resign
i cannot bear it all
i love my country...
and with that she stumbled back
i thought she had no heart
but the tears they were real enough
no way you could fake that..
