Pistols

The sex pistols ride the shoulders of the polio victim

surrounded by the shrouded of body

and the shrouded of mind

Conformity fingers it's way around the counters

consuming its victims as they consume burgers

mirrors of fingerprints

throw back blank stares and fumbling indifference

parkas and dullness rustle about

jostling with hats and bags of boredom and

heads full of fares and timetables

flakes of skin peel off over scratched forrids

settling on dirty shirts and displeased trousers of

narrowness and unflared vision

piles of piles press plastic seats in

a pleasure dance of pain

fingers push their way into chemically enhanced

piles of carbohydrates and cancer

A kiss rings out like a cannon

meanwhile the boredom turns its head and

tries to stay bored

the directions find no direction and

the meanings are ill defined

1989
