these
people
a little study in zoomorphism
you know the kind
what can you say?
they come out with this stuff
no point
I mean
you can’t argue with them
always a grievance
this that
they don’t forget
oh no
always banging on
always
why mince words
they’re actually a menace
scuttle about making their mischief
rats in the wall
when they’re quiet’s worst
sneak around
up to no good
never know what they’ll try next
no backbone
worms!
always seeking attention
that’s what it’s all about
and why?
what do they want?
pull the wool over
think we came down in the last shower
sly
fox sly
hide under a rock
and they’ll spring
they snatch
snap
think they know it all
their houses!
their kids!
the clothes they wear
trust ‘em as far as spit
I think you know who I’m talking about
and generations of them
they’ve always been like this
taking up all that space
wolves!
want us to think they’re just like us
they’re so fucking special
people have tried to take care of them
what can be done? nothing!
not a thing you can do
chip on their shoulders
eggshell crew
sensitive? little petals…
just can’t take a joke
they’re laughing behind our backs
kind of a charmed life, you could say
and haven’t they always?
alright for them , for their kind
it’s embarrassing
you’ll meet them
they get ahead
they get above themselves
but they’re still the same little black ants
follow along
lift a leg
and sniff
always look out for each other
I’m quite sure you know who I mean
the stuff they eat
pigs at trough!
the blood in their veins
who knows what type?
did I say?
they’re not like us
those dogs!
what can you do?
just shake your head
prick, tickle
they’re poisonous
they’re snakes
they’re spiders
knock ‘em down?
no difference !
these …!
one hesitates to call them
and somehow I feel that they’ll always be with us
won’t matter what we do
these people!
and I don’t care about your friends or relations
but you won’t take offence
these people!
they are, I think, a kind of gift –
the answer to a prayer
