Our lady on the wall selling poppies for Our Boys. Our price. Our choice.
|
we bought one-watched Our Lady fly confetti fly the city die in flames as
|
tanks spat amber at the Odeon. A soldier on the podium. One leg, a face
|
that's splashed with egg... a roadmap stained by cherry brandy, cracking
|
jokes about The Jerry. And we snatched his helmet, pissed and blew our
|
whistles with the steam. The kettle boiling, so we stamped and screamed for
|
China tea. Were playing Shanghai in the cloisters, sucking oysters, dipping
|
fingers, finding pearls the size of avadado pears. The treasure's there - a
|
shame there's nowhere left to spend it... Shall we share the powdered milk
|
and wait for God?
