Wasting canvas

At art.

In an end of yard pervert’s wristblurring fervour,

The parlour’s palatable urges never seemed further before.

My mortar-guarded softness is girdered, furtive and cautious

Twenty gruelling stairwells up have I stuck

An unsubtle sign. In bold print, font size 25:

Only twenty storeys more until you’re a fifth the way to the topmost floor.

A sugarbowl full of rotten, coreless teeth,

Old sugar memories.

At arms, to wars which never cease but calm

As manics do between bouts of incurable madness.
