On special offer for one week only:
buy seven days, get seven nights.
The future will soon be back in stock,
in various colours, most of them bright.
Today we sold the last of the dark.
Tomorrow we start selling the light.
Two’s company. Three is civil unrest.
We have proof. We have figures.
Stay calm. Do not attempt to run.
Papers must be shown on request,
and if you cannot feel the trigger
perhaps it is we who hold the gun.
I spent my life looking
for a way up, lurking
in damp lobbies, daring
myself to climb, fearing
footsteps, the echoing
voices of those going
in faith, each landing
a beginning, an ending.
