executor

blasting sugar and cement
fairy cakes and sewage works
too many ands
chocolate sponge and a motorway
centre frieze made in succession
by lorry and form-work
mutable and moving feasts
attract denizens
of the pub

the thorny hands of a polish exile
hours spent underground
picking fights at funerals
Lithuanian? sorry.
and your hands are soft
but strong
let me go.
There must be some mistake

i have spent years smoking like a droop
all my mistakes came through the door
after I got back from tenerife
there must be some mistake
incandescence transmutability
I know big words
and everything
check the paperwork
no?

because you travelled so many miles underground?
but I have to see others off
is there no fairness of age?
you are quite sure
and you speak of my mother
owwwwwrrrpaiinnnnnn
dead and gone
who stole my typewriter?
you
