POEM: "Your Photograph"

Your Photograph


ah that's

easy what

you’ve got there

is a camel 

a picture of

a castration

awful cries

now cut off

the male joins

forever not

a sex but a

dumb community

of burden

now cut off

or else it’s

(one version)

a simple melée 

of camels
like Les says
brutal policy
like inferior art
knows whose
fault it all is

slow diversion

local motorcade

now cut off

the ambassador’s

the tactics

the policies

all a bit too

bloody slow
