Break The Monotony



If there's an easier way then we’ve yet to get to 
grips with it; well that’s what I say to th’ psyche 
interrogating me; and what do you mean it’s an 
encrypted bit of dog’s-breath reasoning, you’re 
th’ one I see who’s into grandiose scheming, if, 
as yet, we’ve even recognised it’s your swanky 
trickery - & t’ get your name on the bottom line 
if i’m reading it right - but don’t lose the plot - 

We’re in it together and no matter what comes 
to pass - we’ll wear the halo of thorns or roses 
with dignity; our stuff’s poetry, not prosaic orts 
left after th’ last thousand-year feast - come to 
think of it tho - & could be damming an ease & 
flow of words needed to break the monotony
