Niseag in loch-down

a conference with the Aberdonian gull

who delivers a single chip and much wisdom

 

ciamar a tha sibh?

 

how are you my fine feathered worm?

 

I bring tidings from the whale of Ashvale

from Haggis Samosa at the Bombay Thistle

from Sushiness at Loch’s End

 

you wouldn’t believe or maybe you would

 

there’s a new Scottish startup called

Jacobytes – a snack and software company

 

sorry, that’s probably a bit obscure

 

I know things have been quiet for a while

but everyone still says you’re a monster

 

some fucker with the latest equipment

is going to electrocute the loch

see what bobs up

it’s just a matter of time

 

they’re warming up the whole world anyway

it’s possible the seas will boil

 

the churches are full of ghosts now

do you remember those places

where they fervour up a witch burn

 

there’s industrial genocide just a sea away

 

today’s Trump and Epstein Day

 

…they… they… well it’s hard to explain

 

in a way it’s just what they’ve always done

but it’s worse

 

people, you know?

in charge of the planet

 

honestly, you don’t want to know

 

…

and she raises her just above the brim

before she dives back down
