God made a bodgie one first

just a draft

study for godsbother

 

welcome to the anthropocene

it’s where we are cooking the world

 

there’s always that thought one might be elsewhere

if you can’t stand the heat…

 

that’s how we mainly are where we are

                       force of cliché

I speak of course of the virulent strains

it’s what a language surviving will show

 

every day there are less for the Ark

you can’t give the tickets away

 

we’re cooking the world

with the last twigs left

while there’s still a lump of coal

 

think soup of self

and warm these paws

 

just wanted to catch a few rays

 

say it was convenient

we only followed a graph

and it pointed to the sky

 

a buckleswash for adventure

 

we the creatures of the tree now down

 

everywhere you look, there’s upside

 

a daylight possum comes confused

I press the kookaburra now

but cannot get a laugh

 

and just now as we come to the boil

the frog remaining firm

 

but you mustn’t watch the kettle

 

look at Venus

look at Mars

 

ask – where would you rather be

 

there’ll always be a next draft
