rage of flowing tides,
of scaly skin and pointed
teeth. Poor crocodile.

Teeth, poor crocodile,
they should be seen and not heard.
You must stop whistling.

"You must stop whistling!"
said the pan to the kettle.
"Learn the bloody words!"

"Learn the bloody words!"
So the kettle said, "only,
if you don't burn me."

"If you don't burn me,"
said moth to the yellow flame,
"I will fly closer."

"I will fly closer".
The flame grew bright, did not burn.
It tempted instead...

It tempted; instead
of gentle invitation,
I heard louche lechery.

I heard louche lechery,
as tongues of fire lapped at wings,
the moth spiralled, scorched.

the moth spiraled, scorched
and blinded by an old lie;
it fell to the ground.

It fell to the ground
and blamed it on gravity.
There has to be blame.

There has to be blame,
so the girl points to the boy,
adding fuel to flame.

Adding fuel to flame;
lighting the blue touchpaper
of economies.

Of economies.
They crumble like the paper
that holds no value.

"That holds no value,"
the clerk said to the shy boy;
"marbles aren't money."

Marbles aren’t money,
but pearls may buy a flutter
of a woman’s heart.

of a woman’s heart
no one really understands -
not even herself.

not even herself,
she balanced carefully in
anticipation.

anticipation
that heightened her awareness
making her face blush.

making her face blush,
he watched as she fidgeted;
his mouth watering.

his mouth watering
he continued to ponder,
waiting for a sign.

Waiting for a sign.
He's still waiting, driving down
the M25.

The M25 -
strange to view from the heavens
this highway to hell.

This highway to hell,
collapsed without sheer notice.
Rebuilt to heaven.

Rebuilt to Heaven,
so scoundrels deserving Hell,
cooled their feet in clouds.

cooled their feet in clouds,
before setting up their tents
and resting the night.
